It's part of the puzzle, its like having a good engine in a car, but an engine alone won't get you from A to B. Sorry that sounds corny, but I think it is true. There is an edge in breakouts, several people on the forum have said this, Petercrown, ...

Fundamental Trading with a Directional Bias

Nothing has been sent to anyone, so no need to worry

Alpari.co.uk Discussion

The other clients at alpari are not supposed to be covering the losses of other traders. The broker is supposed to assume that risk, and take those losses, that is why they have risk absorbing capital, and the erosion of that is why alpari went out ...

Hard to explain, better to give an example on how I personally would have played today - if I had a broker. So for GBPUSD, my fundamental bias is short. This means I am only looking to sell, no buy positions at all for the moment. I buy when prices ...

Fundamental Trading with a Directional Bias

So even though GDP is worse than expected, pound still up for the day. Still expecting more downside with time. This is one of the reasons why I only sell when price is down, and only buy when price is up. There is simplicity in this idea, and it ...

United kingdom Thanks for the advice mate, that's reassuring

Which broker would you recommend, and who should you avoid?

No i Don't scalp, but all that action causes me serious concern. picking brokers is one the most annoying things in fx.

Which broker would you recommend, and who should you avoid?

They have to be regulated, but not nescesarily in the us. These new forex regulations are putting me off seeking out us brokers, I don't know what us retail forex is gonna look like in a couple of month to a year.

Which broker would you recommend, and who should you avoid?

I was looking into those guys as well. cheers Thanks, oando has been recommended to me a few times. Their leverage is being reduced, and I don't know how that leaves trading with them in the future

Which broker would you recommend, and who should you avoid?

So do these leverage rules apply to oando uk. There seem tobe different offices, and oando uk appears to be regulated by the fca.

Building an equity millipede

If you are trading via the CME, rather than the futures on your broker, you can rollover from one contract to the next for a fee. I guess you are trading through a forex broker, in which case I don't think there is a rollover option - certainly ...

Building an equity millipede

I wonder what they will say to me, I had no take profit, my trade was open ended and I got closed out at 1.02. In my view any nonsense about filling me at a different price cannot wash, I didn't ask for my trade to be closed in the first place, in ...

Alpari.co.uk Discussion

Is this from Alpari? I have checked a few other data feeds, one bottomed @ 0.74 on USDCHF - it is a market maker model The other 2 bottomed in the 0.83-0.84 region, both free source data There could be a couple of reasons for that, first is the most ...

Alpari.co.uk Discussion

Same here, I wanted to hold me short too, but it got closed out. So any poor market execution is the brokers fault.

Alpari.co.uk Discussion

imo I would be running a short on the pound, irrespective of news. The pound and euro are highly correlated currencies, they usually move in lock and step with one another. Statistical correlations like that can be misleading, but in the euro/pounds ...
