    Question for the experienced FX traders

    To do that by hand: any backtesting software with replay features will do. To name some of the better known ones, MetaTrader 4, NeoTicker, Ensign, NinjaTrader, ButtonTrader, Sierra Charts, Investor/RT, eSignal, TradeMaven, Visual Trader all offer replay. Not by hand: in MT4 (and surely some...

    Yes. It's a normal weekend price gap. In general, the Auckland, NZ Monday open is different from the New York Friday close.

    are there any books recommended for pass the math tests?

    Never mind books... the web has everything you could ever need for this particular purpose. Just google "speed math." Or, as usual, look up Wiki for a decent overview to get you started and a few links.

    how much pips do you need a month to be profitable

    Beautiful logic. Too bad your own system description as recently as Feb. 5 - now deleted by you - suggested 2x fixed leverage money management per trade, not "same size" "since the start." positive forex cache on 2/5/08 In reality, your actual system leverage at the portfolio level was...

    Did we lose a forum in the "Currency Trading" section?

    Is Europe a country?

    That YouTube clip - actually aired nearly 3 months ago - was both mentioned and linked to yesterday in Dumb and Dumber: Are Americans Hostile to Knowledge?. Good story... currently sitting at the top of the list of "most e-mailed" NYTimes articles. The singer does a great job looking...

    Addresses on 1099

    The IRS may be a remarkably wasteful and inefficient bureaucracy, but not enough so "to see if W-2s [or other forms] match up exactly." Or they'd be doing nothing but wasting their time investigating millions of meaningless, non-revenue-generating mismatches. The IRS does match the amount...

    POLL (Trading): If you knew then what you knew now...

    You forgot to add "I think that..." or "In my opinion..." I am not aware of any empirical evidence either for or against that weasel statement. Practically speaking, such evidence would be extremely hard to come by. If anything, I would not be surprised to find out that a higher % of...
