E-micro: The spot forex killer?

E-micro: The spot forex killer?

don't see why the e-micro will be more volatile than spot forex???........these two will follow each other closely.........being a new product and thinly traded at least at first, expect slippage like fx75 said.....

E-micro: The spot forex killer?

Positioning A Stop Loss

Segregated accounts meant nothing: brokers could still access funds for working capital.......then ASIC, the Australian regulator, decided to limit/prevent brokers from access to clients funds...........brokers also needed to have insurance: are ...

ASIC Brokers, Safety of Funds

like DojiSan says, you can test it on a demo account, but I can also give you an answer to your puzzle.........I think stop/loss is the wrong term here: you can only place a stop loss on the long 5 micro lots (5,000)........now I assume you want to ...

Flipping directions but adding more

Long term wealth creation through currency trading

a lot of the big funds are trend traders across many instruments....... for 3-4 years they might make a profit of 30-40% per annum......then next year they are at a 20% loss for that year............do you think they`ll tell you that the market has ...

Do markets really change?

if you trade one of these 3 methods, you will always have small positions to be able to handle big drawdowns.....that means your profits are always small compared to your DD.......of the 3 methods the 500 pip SL will be the best solution: at least ...

hello buddy, Activtrades have good spreads and no minimum stop loss distance..........

Looking for a Broker with Tight Stop Loss Distances

Only for live traders (eur/usd legend)

your 4 E/U trades must be in a large DD: 1.1449 1.1429 1.1409 1.1389 down to 1.1320 = 396 pips.........trading without a SL is dangerous...........it can work for a long time, but one day your account will blow up.........you just need one big ...
