Nice trade Kastro....77690 would have been a really nice entry there...what sort of stop would you have set on that? And what time did you enter that trade? I mentioned earlier in this thread that I would have probably put on a short around 7790....LOL...most real GBP.USD or EUR.USD traders...

Thanks for the mataf.net Apex .... looks like a good site so far. Yeah, I went with IB for the FX because they seemed to have pretty tight spread, and becuase they will take Canadian accounts. But the main reason was becuase I want to try them out with the FX as a test... I am planning on...

hhmm... +78, thanks TL...for what period was that?

Thanks apex. Yeah, i am basically just in a rush because watching the Forex has started to cut into my stock trading. I missed a good LONG stock trade on Friday that I normally would have taken, but happened to be watching the Forex for about 10 minutes too long :( With the stock trading I do...

I am curious...anyone with better software (or just smarter) know how strong the directional correlation of the EUR/USD and GBP/USD is? Wondering if either of the EUR/USD or GBP/USD moves out of direction with the other....naively it would seem to me that they would at least have very high...

Heh, yeah, i was worried about the EUR/USD not moving up over 1.2180 - 1.2205 area....and should likely have read that better for leaving open a GBP/USD SHORT from the 7790 area...which would have been fairly well in the money at 7740ish. Tough call for me though, and i blew it. But the...

Yeah, sorry, that is my novice speaking for just the pullback from Friday. Retracment is a much better description.....rather than reversal which would have suggested maybe a change in directional bias. But yeah, i am still thinking long as well....but i thought it was going to have more trouble...

Anyone on here trade the GBP.USD? I am curious to see if anyone would have called this reversal of Fridays up move.....

Ivan .... where did you read/hear about the DNT's at the 1.2000 to 1.2200 area? Are these listed anywhere...or are they OTC options from banks etc for other institutional clients? Thanks, and sorry for the ignorance. LOL...i had to google them just to find out what the DNT's actually were :)

Heh, nobody knows anything about this? Ok, well i signed up for an IB account and quotetracker so i am going to try it out.

Does anybody know of a decent real time feed for FOREX that is compatable with medved Quotetracker? Or any other realiable alert service for that matter? I am trying to open up an acct for FX trading in Canada, but most of them won't take Canadian accts :( The few that will, do not seem to...

Thanks Apex...i will take a look. I googled the book already, I will check out the author's website.

Late Apex, or anyone else that has heard of the "Bird Watching in Lion Country" book, do you know a decent place to buy it for cheap? I only found it so far at some FOREX broker's website, and it is around $60 :( If that's the best price I guess I will get it, but if someone knows a cheaper...

Those are some very decent numbers Zone! Congrats! What sort of leverage do you make use of? I ask just to put the 30%DD figure into some perspective. Considering the leverage and that you seem to be more of a position trader....likely giving your winning trades lots of rope, the 30% is...

Sounds good...i will be searching the threads to see if i can find any other posts about draw downs and stops, etc.

LOL...not sure why i didnt check them out right away... i thought Tradestation was only stocks/futures/options.... Funny thing is when i googled FX backtesting...tradestation didn't come up... :/ Thanks again :)

Sorry if this question has been addressed in previous threads, but I was wondering if anybody knows some decent software I can subscribe to and backtest some FX trades, mostly GBPUSD and EURUSD. Problem is, I do not have a very big budget to spend on this....maybe US$100/mth for a couple mths of...

I was curious if some of you guys could post your typical stop losses and max drawdowns. Late Apex, i noticed on another topic that you had posted some very good (IMHO) 27pips/week results. But i was very curious about your comment of a max DD of only 10%? And the lower leverage was quite...

Is that listing for real? I mean do they really have all those people there offering content and advice? Anyone know how involved with inner worth the advisory board is? Just curious what you guys think, I wanted to sign up just on the basis of the board, but I am not really sure what they...

Quote from P2: VIC is http://www.valueinvestorsclub.com Probably best site on the web. INNO- Seems a bit pricey. I will do more research there. AGAM- Very interesting little company. More research required there also. Does the insider selling concern you? NAII- I have also been...
