NG went down 2¢ today with an average ATR that produced 3 average winning trade using Renko brick size of 1 pip and 6 average winning trade using Renko brick size of 1/2 pip. I found it's more difficult trading with Renko brick size of 1/2 pip ...

Thank you for your valuable time. You are entirely correct the 2 wave files go in the sound folder of the MT4 concerned. The sound files belong to the RenkoShade3 indicator that produce an overly Renko chart on normal charts. Unfortunately I don't ...

I sure remember the high interest paid on trades. My favorite pairs before the recession of 2008 were short GBPAUD and long AUDJPY because the interest rates in Australia were super high so I had no problem keeping winning trades opened overnight. ...

Here is my first ever request. I would appreciate if a programmer would replace the sound in the RenkoColorChangeAlarm indicator when a new Renko brick is generated by the "New Brick Up/Down" sounds instead. The 3 files are included in the zip file ...

After losing $46,000 when my first broker went bankrupt I found OANDA and opened an account in Canada because of the protection in case OANDA goes bust. At that time Americans could trade using Canadian brokers without the need of a Canadian bank ...

I agree with you that it was an erratic session with too many up/down moves but WTI went up 88¢ with a low ATR that produced 2 break even trades and 8 winners. Like you I was frustrated and closed good trades early. Oh well, we can't win them all

Yes it's because I live in the EU. In any case the margin for trading Bitcoin is now 2:1 a far cry from the 100:1 that I previously had.

OANDA Discussion

Since my broker clipped my wings from a leverage of 100:1 to 30:1 I had to be economical with my lot sizes so it's not efficient to trade CFDs when they go up and down like crazy like yesterday (first picture) although today was great (second ...

To my knowledge OANDA never denied that it's a market maker. I firmly believe that it doesn't trade against traders otherwise they quickly would not have any trader using OANDA. I talked to my Premium Relationship Manager that explained how trades ...
