So what is your point with these charts? That every time you were stopped out it was because of some sort of stop hunting by the broker?

I concur, today with Oanda was smooth as butta!

I'm not talking about mini lots. I'm talking about the flexibility of scaling out at any size, not being limited to contracts of 125K. I watch three price feeds all day every day. The 6E, my spot ECN broker and my MM broker. They all move in concert with each other. And if anything, there...

So say I trade 1 futures contract on the Euro and would like to peel off half of it at my 1st PT, what do I do? Nothing since I can't. With my broker I can not only take off half, I can keep taking off half until there is no more halfs to take off. Please explain to me how that is NOT an...

A 100 pip move can kill your account?

What are we defining as the additional risks?

However, Sun is developing a Java Virtual Machine for the iPhone that should be out some time after June, enabling Java applications to run on the phone.

I only trade the EUR/USD. Once you learn how to trade a pair, I see no real need (for my own trading) to add another pair. All I need to do is increase my lot size on the pair I know best. It's just what works best for me.

As cabletrader pointed out, if your orders are getting filled what difference does it make? I could care less whether my orders go to the interbank market or the local Tom Thumb. As long as they get filled when and where I want, I'm a happy trader.

A vacation should be just that, a vacation. Once I get in a groove, I do hate to take time off but it really does wonders for the mind. I may find myself checking out the market action if I find an internet connection but the more I do that, the less I take myself out of vacation mode...

You are correct. No java.

I do believe java works with the iPhone. I primarily trade FX and use iphoneforex.com for charts from CMS. I don't find the Edge network all that bad for normal use. The iPhone does a great job of picking up WiFi networks. In fact, unless you're in car, you will probably be able to find a...

I almost wish I couldn't check charts on my iPhone. It makes it impossible to just "step away" from it all. But then again, it is slick to be able to pull up a chart anytime anywhere. I would never try to trade off of it though unless I was doing a longer term trade. And I will agree...

I think "feel" is a big part of it, at least for me. I use profit targets and stops. I always know exactly where my stop is. However my profit targets are usually more a question of my patience and how much momo is in present in the move. Stops are usually within 5 pips of my entry and...

I think my concern in managing money for a forex fund, would be the safety of funds issue. It'd be one thing to just trade bad but another if the broker went down with all your clients funds. So what do you do to protect yourself? What brokers do those of you who are doing this use?

Any updates on your progress OddTrader?

I went back to the 2/26 version and turned off (by going into the msconfig) as much of my McAfee stuff as I could without actually deleting the whole thing. After doing those two things, my refresh problems seem to be cured. Not sure which it was but I suspect it was the McAfee stuff.

Would you say that occurs mostly when the market is moving as opposed to when there is a pause in the action?

I'm wondering if any who actively (meaning scalping 10-20 trades a day) trades the Euro FX (6E contract) could tell me what sort of slippage one can expect using market orders?
