Hi Everyone, I understand there is E-Signal subscription that I can get to add to IBKR TWS to get data. In regards to Forex AND Stocks: 1- How is e-signal better than IBKR data itself? 2- Why does IBKR incorporate e-signal in their TWS menu? I mean there are other partners but no one else is...

Hi Bond Gurus, I am new to bonds and need to understand few things from you bond gurus please: 1- Can I buy bond on margin? 2- I have a margin account. Can I utilize my holdings of bonds for margin so I can trade other things or would my money get locked in bond? (i.e. If I buy Amazon stock I...

5 tick is $50 profit at 1M investment (where $40 is also the commission so $10 profit). Do you go in more than 1M on average? How much liquidity can Cable support before buyers run the opposite way? I mean some pairs are good with 1-2M and then providing liquidity more than that pushes things...

Well said about concentration. I have been burned before.

That is the 1 minute chart - correct? Any outside factor or other pairs you look for that helps with Cable trading? Thanks!

:) I think you tried to clarify this four times now. You got what I meant. I think some people trade only one pair because it is very hard and confusing to trade multiple pairs and then specially with totally different pairs like USD.CAD and EUR.CHF. Are there any Forex trading systems or...

To gurus who trade multiple currency pairs, What is the base currency that you tend to stick to for trading if you are trading multiple currencies? Is it your native currency? Is it USD? GBP? There are times when moving from one currency to another makes arbitrage sense. But do you come back...

Thanks for the details. I agree about your assessment of IBKR not being a cheat. Unless they are caught otherwise but they are quality so let's keep assuming they are not doing any monkey business. 1- I understand the concept of over the counter VS central exchange. However, don't banks just...

Thanks for the input. 1- So far I haven't seen any post that beats IBs commissions. Not a single person replied with less than $20 round trip so far. 2- Can you please tell me how you read the Cable spread average per week? Can you post a pic or explain. I take the spread as the difference...

So that is $20 USD per million which is exactly like IBKR. I wonder if they have any other advantage over ibkr like book orders showing more orders??

Forgot to say pre-march sounds like very sad times. I hope it doesn't return. A volatile market is just more vibrant.

Thanks for the interesting insight for pre-covid. I will post some charts at a later date when I get a chance to analyse my trades. I didn't get this part, "so on 1 Sept 2020, eur gbp was actually very tradable because the US dollar was actually moving." - USD.CAD was not tradeable on this day...

What is "Cable"?

For Forex swing doesn't pay off enough.

Thanks for the explanation. When you say "trend or no trend", what do you mean by "no trend". Can you give an example when you trade on no trend? Thanks,

- How have you adapter to the issue you mentioned? - If you don't do trends for scalping, what is your main single measure that gets you to place orders (buy or sell)?

Forex and stocks.

Hi Forex Scalpers, This question might be wrong all together but I need your ideas. 1- Do you have any bad scalping days where you don't see any trends or whatever you do doesn't look as amazing as you like so you get forced to set on the sidelines for long? 2- And if you do have those days...

I think you mean: "If you don't take risks, you risk not living." OR "What you risk reveals what you value." OR "If you don't take risks, you will always work for someone who will."

Thanks for the amazing details and insight. "a typical trade last for less than 10 seconds. A trading day max 8 hours, you will be able to place up to 100 trades" 1- This ^^^ is all relate to crypto trading I am assuming and not Forex scalping or regular market stocks - correct? 2- What is a...
