They could. However, they couldn’t do it before they execute for you – this is known as front-running. It’s illegal, somebody would probably go to prison for that. So no, IMO, you’ve got nothing to worry about. They could do it after you’ve traded, but that would work in your favour by moving...

It depends on the underlying market. For a fair comparison, you’d have to be using a DMA platform alongside, doing the same deal sizes, and comparing the two. It’s very, very difficuklt to judge. Perhaps you’re better off using a DMA provider instead? Then you don’t need to worry, you know...

it's a personal choice? The problem by being too quick to move to break even is that you can then get knocked out. I would say move into a bit more profit first.

I think bitcoin will be a way off before people start taking it too seriously. That is my opinion however! How much do you think it will be worth?

The problem is that all momentum indicators are ‘lagging’. I’ve been looking at Volume Spread Analysis. The premise is market manipulation, it’s a contrarian strategy. Quite interesting, it’s about following or predicting the ‘hot money’, worth a look!

Hi, I don’t know if you can find this yourself but I e-mail my broker John at Accendo Markets and he gets me a full breakdown of sectors/stocks which fulfil certain technical criteria (MACD crossovers for example). He can also send me a spreadsheet of best/worst performers over the past...

When you mean manipulated, do you mean the overall price of gold , or the quotes your broker gives you?
