    US alternative to Dukascopy?

    Dukascopy is just about to start offering 5th decimal trading, too. It's already possible on demo and should be live, soon. Daniel

    Position Sizing & Correlations

    Hi Mike, well it's kinda funny because I really think the other way. For me taking only one trade in one pair instead of three trades in three pairs is "to cute". But maybe I'm wrong who knows. Let's say you trade NZD AUD and CAD against the USD. Those markets are often highly correlated...

    Position Sizing & Correlations

    Hi Mike, thanks for your reply. Well to focus on a couple of pairs or trying to pick the best is what I've been doing in the past. It just seems to make less sense to me with the experience I have now...the result of my thoughts is that I want to diversify, instead of having 1 trade...

    Position Sizing & Correlations

    Hi there, I'm swing-trading currencies, being in a trade for 2-5 days usually. I like to get in trending markets when they pullback. I'd like to risk 1% per trade. Now very often I get interested in not only one but quite a few markets because they're highly correlated like AUD/USD...

    Platform that allows to set maximum open positions?

    I'm looking for a broker where I can set a number of maximum open positions at which it cancels all other entry orders or stops executing them. As an example I might enter 50 orders to get into 50 different stocks. If 30 of those get executed I have my position limit reached and don't want to...

    Joe Ross Methods

    I've also had problems trading his methods but I know some guys who are successful trading this way. For example, one of his students, Marco Mayer just started a Forex newsletter (http://www.fx-atm.com) and while he also uses different entries you'll regulary find trades that use breakouts...

    Buying Calls/Puts instead of trading underlying?

    No of course not, but if there's a better way for me that would be fine, too :)

    Buying Calls/Puts instead of trading underlying?

    Hi there, I'm pretty new to options and hope some experienced traders might help to save me a lot of time. I'm quite good at predicting price movement of different markets like stocks, currencies etc. I'm profitable doing this but not to the extend I think is possible. My problem is...

    LOL! Oanda having some JPY pair problems?

    Well at the end it doesn't matter what I thought while executing the trade. For whatever reason I thought 55 is a good price to buy USD/JPY. And Oanda gave me that quote for a couple of minutes so I did. I'll post the screenshots once I got note from Oanda that they definitly won't change...

    LOL! Oanda having some JPY pair problems?

    I personally got in long USD/JPY at the market when USD/JPY was trading down at around 55 on sunday night. Not a limit order or whatever, I just bought at the market at the price Oanda offered me. I had no clue this was a "data problem", I knew in japan were elections etc...so who knows?! A...

    X-Trader vs. CQG Trading

    The non-trading desk brokerage

    Minimum usually is $100.000, you might find some with $10.000 lots though. Also I don't know if you'll find one for eur/pbd, I don't even know what PBD is, maybe you meant the british pound?

    Need to Develop a Strategy

    GoodPunk: your broker, if it's a forex broker marketmaker wants you to do two things: - Make a lot of trades - Loose in your trades And that's what they will teach you, they have absolutely NO interest in making you a winner. Seriously if you're excited about taking a course by your...

    ABN AMRO launches Marketindex

    I had one for some months to try it out. I was not satisfied, they rip you off like everyone else in the CFD-business does. But...they're the best of them I think. I was never ripped off in a really bad way. But if you got a bunch of orders somewhere and a currency is trading 2 pips below it...
