    What are your Trading Breakthroughs?

    for me, there was no sudden eureka moment.. it just seemed to appear over time after putting on thoousands of trades (not paper trade) .. there comes a point when you just enter a long or short or stand aside based on what appears on the chart.

    Forex Interest rates

    For mini accounts, they are 10% of the regular lots interest - though don't expect to get paid interest if you are leveraging 400:1 or 300:1 etc. It seems anything less than 50:1, you will have to pay interest whichever pair you long or short. My advice - use less leverage - safer and you...

    Congrats to you! Its not every one who can screw their brokers in these bucket shop arena. But from what i hear, sometimes even when the profit has been taken, some ***** go as far to debit your account claiming a misquote or whatever. (The best is to withdraw the $$$). :D ka~ching ! ka~ching!

    Forex scalping

    Do You have other talents Besides trading?

    Nana Trader, It is possible to look like that without drugs. A good training regime with a clean diet and passable genes is all you need. Those who jab don't look even close to him. Looks decent to me. just my thoughts.

    Any traders here trading Yen during Asian hours?

    I trade the EUR/USD too, and gravitated towards EUR/JPY as well, primarily watching these two pairs. I must say the EUR/JPY pair is more active in the london and new york hours, the range during asian hours is quite limited. (Today is exception :D )That being said, its a different vehicle in...
