but are the futures and spot forex the same, from a backtesting perspective? for one, forex doesn't gap. There is constantly arbitrage going on between IMM and Forex. If you adjust your fx charts to lets say RTH IMM (0720-1400 CT), you should get basically the same patterns (not numbers of...

The spread is okay, although I don't recommend to scalp the currency futures. There's a tendency to accelerate the trend after 0830 CT, due to NY, and if you get it right with some more leverage (I do 6 to 8 contracts), there is a $1000 win during the first hours, let's call it a day. Just be...

good morning Larry, we are not really that big baseball fans here in Germany, but I trade some currency futures at IMM/CME with just a few pattern setups, and being a soccer fan, it seems to me that there are more goals into it than before, when I was overtrading with so many indicators and...
