They still haven't resolved the issue. The charts are in-sync for about 2-3 minutes after I start the program, then progressively get more and more out of wack. Trading with a screwed up chart is interesting to say the least, I just have to watch the quote and visualize what the current...

So, I'm really fed up with forex.com. The quotes/charts have been screwed up during the NY session for almost a week now. Tech support isn't much help, they just keep telling me to flush the dns cache, which does absolutely nothing. So who's the best? I was considering Oanda until I read...

Aside from this thread being half a million years old... I've used Power Pro every day since the beginning of this year and haven't had a single issue. Market depth can occassionally get sticky on OTC stocks, but this is easily fixed by clicking to a different stock then back to the original...

60% of "likely voters" can't even spell America. Who cares what they think about taxes (right or wrong)?

Forex.com failing again today. Charts/quotes are so ridiculously out of sync I'm afraid to even attempt a trade. They're so off (like 3-5pips) I can't tell if the charts are lagging the quotes or the quotes are lagging the charts, or maybe they're both off in their own worlds. Too bad because...

Why? Explain why you buy there and short there. Or is this a joke from the UNG/USO thread?

Pretty lazy tonight, had a crazy day. Not going to try to trade while half out of it. That USD/CAD trade turned out to be quite a large move. Should have stuck with it. Oh well. Live and learn - some more. Week 3 Day 3 +42 pips 12/5/1 Keeping this in perspective: my goal is to...

Nothing great this morning. Setup for a short looked good, struggling to get down and I'm trying to do homework, pay bills, and get ready for work WHILE babysitting it - bad combination. Was originally looking for 15 pips, but whatever. As usual, as soon as I'm out and start writing this...

Very good point. lol I keep telling myself they don't care about my chump change. Thank you for the encouragment, let's hope the good week continues.

Well this is interesting. I had heard of forex.com changing entry price on people, but I thought that was a little too bold and ridiculous. Turns out it's true. As evidenced by above, and what I have written down in front of me (based off my confirmed completed deal price at the time), my...

It's all very interesting. I can understand what he's saying. Why pick a specific number if you can develop a feel for the market and know when the direction has changed? I suppose it's just a matter of getting to that place - something most probably never will. Anywho... as stated...

Same cycle continuing. Waiting 2-3 hours for a good setup, not pulling the trigger when it happens, watching it play out perfectly, walking away and going to work without a penny to show for the effort/wasted time. I guess the only progress is that I don't get mad anymore. Whether that's...

Maybe this has something to do with it: "a bad position in the 5 min plays can be made good in the hourly plays, and the latter can be made in 5 Hrsly and so forth." That's what I ended up doing earlier with my two large (unrealized) losers than turned into large winners. What looked...

Hopefully he goes in depth on this eventually, because I don't understand it. So you don't use a stop loss, ok, that's all well and good. But I'm still going to have a mental stop point. If they go stop sweeping, the price is still going to go by my mental stop area and I'm going to cash...

It's very interesting so far. I'm slowly reading and trying to understand - on page 5 now. What I don't get, and haven't even been able to understand, is that there's this one camp of people that are all about systems and mechanical trading. It makes perfect sense that those wouldn't be...

Is it really that bad? I keep hearing mixed things and I don't know who to believe. I was really busy tonight, no time to even look at a chart, so no more trades for today. Week 2 Day 4 +27 pips Record of: 10/5/1

Wow that's a long thread... Thanks for the heads up though. I'm off to work now, I'll have all day to read through it while getting paid. lol

Nice upward explosion of USD/CAD. Was waiting for that, but went so fast I couldn't even get the order in on time. Note to self: MUST set buy stops for stuff like that.

Not gonna lie, I like this stop loss thing. It forces me to wait for trades where I can see a clear, close stop point and there's a lot less stress once I do enter the trade. I guess my fears of forex.com stop hunting were unfounded.

Manually covered. Forget to take huge spread into account for take profit target. Covered - USD/CAD 1.09830 14.1 pips 10/5/1
