Interesting. I had had a similar idea, that the people give me their strategies ideas and I code and test with my own C++ backtesting/trading system, of course for free. But I didn't do it yet because I'm not sure how many people will give me valuable ideas, I guess no one. I will appreciate if...

Leverage + Full account gambling = Suicide. Several days ago, some China news disclosed that a Chinese "trader" (gambler) used 4:1 leverage, put 1.6M RMB margin in one crazy stock (so the total capital on the stock is 6.4M). After the stock hit two stop limit (total is around 18% loss). That...

This is your third post on the exactly SAME topic. As I answered in your first post, can you please try to understand/test/try the concept "bound" on Oanda order system? Seems you never want to see how to work properly but instead you complain more and more about Oanda here and there, or you...

I'm not new generation ET nor am I 18 years old (I'm much much older than that). I use 50:1 leverage for Forex, it's quite decent for Forex, not any ridiculous. With 1:1 margin and trading Stocks, it may still be gambling. Whether gambling or "investing" or speculating depends on the mindset or...

I trade Forex and Index CFDs with Oanda, 50:1 leverage.

(I posted this on Reddit Forex forum, hope this is not a problem to repost here) Hi, all, My this topic is not intended to start another SL vs no-SL flame war, but I want to share you my experience and my thinking and I would like to hear your opinion. My experience: In the beginning...

The explanation of fxTrade bound is here, http://fxtrade.oanda.com/help/advanced-topics/place-limit-order What you talked about news hit the price, is slippage. When news comes, there may be huge slippage on any orders, for example, NFP for USD. Slippage is the nature of the market and you...
