The truth is, a combination of understandings is at minimum the building blocks of becoming a successful trader. I do not know any successful technical traders that do not have atleast a basic understanding of how fundamentals affect the market. I ...

NEWS Trading or TECHNICAL Trading?

I don’t think you should have any moral quarrels over buying into this emerging market. Your money is not going to affect the outcome of any battles now or in the future, no matter how much profit you make off of it. Although I don't believe any ...

I'm not sure an EA to do this would be so complicated. I have never heard of a broker offering a standard order like this though. Expiration on Entry Orders is common, but not Entry Orders based on a specific time. What could be your reason for this ...

Hey Plutonite, Yeah, my grandparents live up in Fairfax so I know DC pretty well. I'm actually about 20 minutes north of Richmond. Look me up on skype sometime, I think it's on my profile still. I'm closing on my new house in a month or two, so I'll ...

whats with this "hedging" thing??

Actually, having two identical positions in the same size is the same as paying 2 spreads for nothing at all. However just as you cannot find a reason to do it, Brokers obviously can't find a reason to Not allow it. I believe hedging has been ...

Sorry, I have no idea what I'm looking at here. Could be because it's Friday.

Can Someone Intepret This

Well political viewpoints aside, my dollar bullish stance will stand, barring major change, until when I believe the election will start affecting the market more. Atleast another 4 months, I'm hoping mid-year. I'm also Long USD/CAD and AUD/USD. The ...

EURUSD

I wouldn't go that far. I believe I made some comments on my long term trades back in november, but they still stand. I am short biased on the EUR/USD since November and probably through the first 4-6 months of 2008. Although I do not see the dollar ...

As far as FXCM with MT4. See my post back in Dec. From this thread.

FXCM Discussion

Last time I checked out FXCM they still did not charge a commission on their No Dealing Desk option. This means that the commission is built into the spread. If the commission is being added into the spread, than they have the ability to manipulate ...

Heh, I guess too many comapnies survived from his last PR Dead List campaign to try it again. My comments on this: From This post.

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

Oanda vs. Interbankfx for Scalping

Oh this was probably over a year ago, he just sent it to me in an email asking why they would close his account and I highlighted some of his shorter trades as the only reason I could find. None were open for less than 5 minutes though. I remember ...

Oanda vs. Interbankfx for Scalping

Hey, go for it. I know one of my students accounts were closed for scalping at Oanda though. Looking at his trade history, no trade was open for less than 5 minutes.

Oanda vs. Interbankfx for Scalping

Are those the only 2 your are interested in? Your looking at 2 blocks of ice and asking which is warmer. Neither like scalp trading, Oanda will probably be quicker to close your account.

Oanda vs. Interbankfx for Scalping

Ok, I have used a hedge before to spike trade. I'll give you that. I made my first 50k through spike trading, but have since stopped. In advising someone with 6 posts who seems to be a relatively new trader I would recommend him to stay away from ...

How do you use IBFX's hedging?

Good man. Don't hedge 4thspace. Unless you have a detailed plan going into it and enough experience to completely understand the in's and out's of it and howto reduce the risk involved it can and most likely will be a losing proposition. I have seen ...

How do you use IBFX's hedging?

Hehe, who you talking to WHT? If it's me, as far as I'm concerned I have forwarded it to the company who has a vested interest in their own PR and someone impersonating them. They can forward it to the Secret Service if they wish. I believe them ...

Odd email from North Finance

Forex contests do not promote longevity or good trading habits and should be avoided by anyone truly looking to live off the forex independently. I'm with acidguy in that most trading contests are only used to boast ego's and promote products. I ...
