    trade the E-micro EUR/USD M6E ?

    last I checked the micro contracts weren't liquid enough to even consider.. especially compared to spot. They get a shot in the arm recently?

    FX cash vs fwds

    I wonder where we can find some sort of comparison between brokers on interest rate markup.

    Poll: Where is the volume?

    The volume is in HATEtheRisk's pants after he heard about the latest jobs numbers. ;)

    Best Anti Virus

    You get what you pay for when it comes to AV. You asked for something with a lighter footprint and simple.. ESET's products fit that better than most anything on the market (especially footprint wise.) They do discounts on multi-year and multi-seat purchases.. I buy for my entire family...

    How to disable MT4 auto update?

    Run the terminal in Win XP SP3 compatibility mode and select 'run as administer'... then let it complete the update... then set it back to normal... presto, no more update bugging you.

    Forex Supply and Demand

    Google Sam Seiden.. he does some stuff for fxstreet and has a pretty good way to describe supply and demand zones outside of just drawing lines on a chart.

    Rotational Trading

    Can't say I agree on the no-stops part, but to each their own. I bet you get a lot of flack for that online as there are few styles of trading where "no stops" is safe. But in any case, happy trading :)

    Rotational Trading

    Mod/Admin assumed it was to another forum and altered my link.. maybe someone complained about the link and the mod didn't even bother checking.. I can't edit a post after 30 mins from posting it, so I can't even change it back.. Stuff like this kinda pisses me off, especially since I...

    Rotational Trading

    How it would be applied to FX might get a bit tricky, since you'd run the chance of just creating a short list of synthetic positions instead of a balanced portfolio of positions. The issue boils down to the fact that you open a position on a given spot pair, you have a long side and a short...

    VertiFX

    They make buckets... clearly. :p The term comes from old brokerages houses in the days when quotes had to be called or wired about the country and clients had limited access to quote information. Clients would place orders to buy or sell and the broker would just toss all the client...

    Best Anti Virus

    During my previous career in IT, endpoint security on single machines (or small deployments of under 5 clients,) were done with this: ESET - Nod32 or their full SmartSecurity Suite. http://www.eset.com/us/home/ It has one of the smallest footprints while taking top honors in...

    No dealing desk brokers

    ..."most likely do" Be skeptical, it's healthy as a trader, but don't blindly spread fear. You're right though on your last point, it matters little in the end since spot is often a made market at some level of trading with your orders.. if not the broker, then on the LP's end, even if...

    Real-world Pairs Trading?

    Yeah, there's a lot of noise intraday... the success rate is higher when you stretch out the time frame.

    This is how I made my money. (Detailed methods reveiled)

    I see it more like "hey, I found some statically proven edge that worked well post-credit crisis.. and now that it's losing its shine I wish to share it with the world for bragging rights." (Just poking a little fun, the thread starter does say a few good things about being humble and...

    What books do you keep by your turret?

    Mmm.. near me.. *looks around* ...and for reference... Off hand, I like having 'Come Into My Trading Room' by Alexander Elder handy... it's marked up with notes and stickies. http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Come-into-My-Trading-Room-Alexander-Elder/9780471225348 To be fair, I use it...

    The lonely game -VS- My own company

    Don't be so quick to take on additional mouths to feed. Treat starting your own firm as if you were starting any small business, do everything you can on your own til it gets in the way of revenue generating activities, then delegate the tasks to someone else so you can keep your focus on...

    Tips on the Mental Game

    Unlike the others who just dumped links to their site without much relevance to this thread, I keep some material on mental discipline on my site here: http://fxgears.com/trading-psychology.php It sums up a series of posts I made on another board.
