Hes still right if you dont consider a 100:1 leverage suicide. A tiny 20 pip s/l is 20% of your account in one go, how long do you think you will last?

I agree, I was talking to a friend of mine and he was like "Oh I tried trading but got my fingers burnt so never going to do it again." Basically he just put some cash he couldnt really afford to lose in some stocks, lost some money over course of 6 months and thats it. His "trading" days were...

Somethings I have an issue with in regards to the US is the health care system, and legal issues. (Warning: Most information gathered from maybe not so reliable media sources ala CNN, tv etc), also word of mouth. 1) Some family friends moved out to Florida about 20 years ago, led a great...

Im still reading your posts, even though I dont comment...still find em interesting.

Thats the thing isnt it...some people DO win consistantly at these things...whatever it is, they consistantly make a profit over all. I hate these comments by people trying to bash the confidence for whatever reason of fellow traders. I see so much of the statistic "90%+ people fail".....its...

Sweet, do you have a link for the download? I cant find it....tried loading up my current E-Signal and although it loaded Market Depth, it didnt show anything. Things like this I hoped to see with ForEx as it becomes more popular.

After seeing the after effects of the Euro in places like Ireland (we bought a house there about 2 years before Euro came into play) I can honestly say I hope the UK never takes it onboard, for exact same reasons as that article states (article didnt seem to state that prices rocket afterwards...

Well basically your trading against Oanda, your trade does not go out onto the market place (min big is like 500K-1Mil to get onto the actual inter bank market) so Oanda are basically letting you trade as much of a currency as you like and they are the ones covering it, they make money from...

Minis are a great way to start, you get the learning experience of using real cash but with the safety of keeping your wins/losses small. Keeping down to 1 mini lot each pip is only 1$ as opposed to 10$ per standard lot so you can start with $1k capital easy to get a few trades going. I find...

Well its looking like a bearish time for the dollar atm, its already dropped about 4 cents in the past two weeks, i.e. 4000 dollars per 100k. In alot of ways the USD is looking at resuming the long bear trend it has been on after the summer retracement. So, convert soon id say...The high was...

Entries are not provided by divergence, at least IMHO, nor exits. As you say they are timers/indication of a trend change. You must use other things to indicate what price is good to enter/exit when divergence is apparent. There is always a "THINK" with every system, you never truly know if a...

I can plug numbers into indicators all day long and find some that produce a good signal for a trade or two, there a god knows how many systems out there using the same indicators but with different numbers that will produce different trades. You never rely on the one thing either, its a blend...

Like all methods and systems and ideas, work for some not for others. Blanket statements Yes or No dont help at all. Neither does my "Depends".

Only one that I know of is Global Forex Trading http://www.gftforex.com/ Not saying there are not any more, but thats only one I know of..their software is actually pretty damn nice. Includes a full API too. My only grief with them is when I applied to open an account it took fricking...

Swiss Franc

He does post entries and exits and positions when he does them/has them. Look at his past threads instead of being an ass.

Thing is how long would adding funds take, a wire transaction? Day/two? You could easy just lose that other 25% before the extra funds get there. You also mention you belive the dollar will get stronger in the next couple of weeks, how far are you prepared for it to get -Weaker-? It could drop...

The P4 is actually a very clever bit of kit, if it gets too hot it will De-Clock itself and run at a slower speed thus preventing any damage.
