Anyone in the Clear Lake area interested in catching up? Just looking for someone to talk trading with. I am learning to trade FX but any trading conversation would be welcome.

ES, I am not a long term winner by any stretch. I would classify myself as developing and still trying to find consistency. I do not see how having a significantly larger loss limit than profit target is going to get you where you want to be. I personally would find a way to flip those...

I have only traded SpotFX and am looking into FX Futures. Live I am running MT4 using Oanda I am using a Demo running MultiCharts/CQG using AMP Am I missing something because the prices for Spot and Futures do not match even closely. For example: Spot GBPUSD = 1.29676 and Futures BP6Z18 =...

This has been an interesting thread. I myself plan to do a Gauntlet when I am ready. This thread has helped validate a couple of my thoughts on the Gauntlet and reinforces my decision to trade a live account until I can prove to myself that I can pass something like the Gauntlet before signing...

I am thinking of doing the Gauntlet in the next few months. I currently trade FX with Oanda and use MT4 primarily. How does that setup work with the gauntlet? Thanks
