I was under the impression that it was pretty common knowledge that they had "paid for" services. But it is my understanding that they are "approved" by FF - J16 Group for example is an official partner of FF. PS Don't get me wrong - I am not ...

It does make you wonder though. I don't have anything against them (in fact I am a fan) but how come it is ok for Jacko and James16 to have commercial ventures but not other FF members? I would like some official clarification on that one!

That's what I don't get! FXCM clearly advertise "never pay a debit balance" but Clause 23.1 E states, in bold, "You will at all times be liable for the payment of any debit balance on your account and you will be liable for any deficiency remaining ...

The One Nobody Talks About

So what about brokers like FXCM who claim "never pay a debit balance" - is that just b.s?

No, at the moment I still use the 100 pip stop loss but I am also recording what my results would have been if I had increased the stop loss. At the moment it is too early to tell, which is why I asked if anyone had any similar thoughts! If we did ...

11 February 2009 — Another day, another dollar (I hope!). E/U seems to be stuck in a range somewhere between 1.2800 and 1.3100 so I am not placing a standard entry today. Today I will enter using standard ranging methodology of buying the ...

Hi Steve, Yes that is true, although ideally this is where the Anti Hedge strategy should get you out when the market comes back around. The reason I said should is because the sucker rallies can be pretty big these days; which is why I mentioned a ...

This is what Jacko says... "I start with weekly, then move closer in using daily, 4 hour and 1 hour to help me make a decision. Less than 4 hours tends to be "noise" rather than a "trend". They are the "sucker" rallies and declines. PS Don't be the ...

Hi trixtuf and krue,What are you basing your trades on? If I understand you correctly you are counter-trend trading?Regards,Dan

I entered a short at 1.2950 this morning; market moved in my favour but is close back to where I entered! I must admit I expected a bit more of a decisive move from 1.3000 but it has yet to appear. Something I did note was that the last wave down ...

Stop loss — Hi guys, For those of you using Jacko's strategy - do you consider a 100 pip stop loss too tight at the moment? I use a 10 period ATR on the daily charts to give me a snapshot of how much the market is moving and back in 2007 the ...

Hi khaled, To answer your questions... 1. I don't post trades before I take them because this is not a predictive way of trading (and this really is just a journal to keep a record of how well things go, or not!). Also I am not a pro - I wouldn’t ...

Almost! It's not the cross of the MAs but the cross of price back over the MAs in the direction of the trend. I actually use a 25 SMA but the 21 is fine.
