The key words are "hit home". There's a subtle difference between not understanding something, and understanding but knowing deep down that it does not apply to you. It almost feels the same, but it's not the same. When advice is good for you, ...

Pips — I'm sure you've seen the spreadsheets. You put $10,000 in, use 10% margin, make 20 pips per day, and in less than a year you're over $1 million. My goal is to average 20 pips a day. When I can do that consistently, I'll up the ante. If ...

Great GBP/USD Strategy for Swing Trades

Stocks vs Forex - Is everyone suited for forex?

Here is why I'll never buy another stock or stock option. Mutual funds, sure. Let the big boys play their games, they're good at it and have the money to play. I suppose I could sit all day and watch stock investments the way I do forex, but that ...

Cool. You're getting there. Just play around with it. Sometimes an EA is designed for a particular TF (timeframe) chart. If it doesn't say so in the notes try any chart. Some will use data from the TF chart they're attached to, some will calculate ...
