THE BACKTEST RESULTS I'VE POSTED ON JAN 14 ARE WRONG. I APOLOGIZE. I'LL POST THE CORRECTED RESULTS AS SOON AS I HAVE THEM.

Can you show me one broker that doesn't change spreads?

I second billflet. Use a demo for a while, preferably with the broker you think you'll go live. And when you go live, do yourself a huge favor: start with a micro account, don't move to a mini before your account has ~$5K. As for brokers who suggest ...

Best Broker for a Newbie

Isn't the formation we see on GBPJPY weekly a perfect H&S that is playing very well now?

Isn't it a good sign that a broker wants to comply with the new rules?

MG Forex At Risk ?

Thanks . However, I've hardly mastered forex, and I still feel that I have many things to improve in my trading, so going to a new market is probably too early for me...

I'm not sure Water House Capital is a good recommendation. The opinions on this thread http://www.forex-tsd.com/metatrader-...hc-broker.html are rather varied. I demoed WHC for a couple of days, I didn't like the connection losses so abandoned them ...

Thanks. I don't trade news, but the spreads they announce are really the best among MT4 brokers. BUT: a Russia-based company?? Maybe I'm prejudiced, but Cyprus sounds like a safe haven compared to RF. What if tomorrow Mr Putin decides that foreign ...

I closed the only position I had several minutes before the BOE announcement, I would do it with any broker. But this huge difference, and then claiming it was the "interbank feed", and then cleaning the records in retrospective - these were the ...

Stupid indeed. If you'd have read post #13, you'd see that "I never trade during news".

squaw, thanks for the lead. Indeed, they offer very good terms. I talked to their customer support, liked it too. The only thing I have doubts about is their being regulated by Cyprus authorities. I love Cyprus, but just how good is the regulation? ...

I never trade during news. But if the spread widens by 80 p., as it happens with FXDD, a stop of an existing position can be hit unpredictably. This can happen, of course, with any type of broker, but I'm said that such crazy spikes are not common ...

Yes, thanks for the input, this is what I'm reading about now. I open no more than 2-3 positions a day, so the spread is not a big issue. I'll have to collect more info + demo for a while to understand all the cons and pros.

Thank you. I'll start my research into ECNs.

Hmm... I thought of moving to Alpari UK, but you all suggest using an ECN / Oanda... I'll check this seriously. My problem is that I'm so used to the MT platform for charting. I don't use anything fancy, but still, the environment is so ...

Very aesthetic... This is what I like so much in your approach. Elegant = simple = correct. This equation works for everyhing in life, including trading...

This was one the most meaningful threads here. It's a pity it died out. Here is what I believe to be the only useful axiom in trading. It has three components. 1. Trends exist. 2. A trend is defined as a linear regression line connecting two points ...

I can't see any situation in which hedging is warranted except when not willing to acknowledge you've made a mistake. I hedged several times just in such situations: my losses grew too big by error, I wasn't brave enough to close a position, I had ...
