That's great in theory, but the questions is, how good are the coaches and trainers? - If they can't "cut it" as a trainer, then what is the likelihood that their students will cut it? In fairness, I paid $99 for my prep course. Not bad at all, compared to what other people will charge you...

I disagree somewhat, as management tends to be autocratic. Trading is one of the few arenas in which a person can be truly creative - and when it comes to making money in the markets you need to be. So, as a beginner at Swift, it is difficult to try some of your theories out. You may even know...

That's what I'm saying... if there were plenty of signals in the candles, then maybe I should re-visit them and learn more about them in detail.

On my charts, I use EMA 3 and EMA 15 for cross-overs, and also keep a SAR (standard 0.02, 0.2). On the bottom, I keep a MACD (3,15,1) and only use it for crossing of the 0 line; and, a Momentum (15) also for crossing of the 0 line. If all or most of my indicators are in agreement, then I go in...

Did you see any signs that Support would be broken around 11:15 ? I noticed this is a 5 min chart and that EUR/USD was in consolidation between approx 7:40 and 11:15 (between about 1.2265 and 1.2280). I have trouble with consolidation all the time... notably that my indicators (trending...

How about per share instead of per trade?

Are you too proud to get yourself a part-time job during evenings while you trade for nothing during the day? Or, now that you have your degree are you too good for that? - If you really want to trade - and have nothing but a shoestring to do it on - then you will have to do something else on...

That about sums it up!!!!! :D

How can you compare Swift's ProsperPro (er, sorry, ProsperNot), with LightSpeed? - LS is great, whether you trade for rebates or trade positions. It's completely customizeable and has so many features. What is more important is that it is a thousand times more stable than PP.

Average Swiftrader? That depends on how you define average. It can be said that the "average Swiftrader" doesn't make it at all, since most new recruits - or "student traders" - don't end up becoming "hired-on traders" and end up either leaving of their own accord or get thrown out the door a...

How can you expect any unbiased opinion? - Those who have worked there, or who are currently working there, either think the outift is a joke or are satisfied. Plenty of opinions have been posted here on Elite. Just do a thorough search and you will get all kinds of information, from quick...

I used to trade with them retail with my own account (i.e.: not prop). The platform - at least on the retail end - is Global Trader. It's unknown and obscure. It's alright, but nothing great. Didn't have too many problems with execution. Put it this way: it is adequate, but it is no E*Trade...

Try the bank...

Thank you! This is the information that I wanted to get when I originally contacted customer support. Looks like I will be switching to ESignal. I appreciate your reply.

Hi, Can anybody who is using E-Signal for Forex data tell me around what time data starts trickling in on the charts on Sundays? I trade through Oanda, but use IQ Feed on Quotetracker for Forex data. I can see Oanda's charts start to show trades around 3pm, EST. However, the IQ Feed...
