Will this be added to the site, or not?

I would also avoid using windows server editions for workstation use. You will need to put in effort to convert settings to your needs as a standard computer user. XP and Vista have the advantage that they are configured by default to match most of your needs. Especially if you don't know that...

I haven't entered and am staying out for now, momentum is clearly still down for EUR/USD.

32 bit supports up to 4 gb. But less can be available to you depending on your hardware configuration (usually around 3 to 3.5 gig). XP64 has never been a mainstream operating system. I haven't used it myself, but I know of people who had troubles because driver support was lacking. I would...

EUR / USD is now at the 50 retracement from the last run up. It's currently testing that level for the second time. The current level is also near the trendline as indicated on the screenshot. I don't like to enter with momentum against me, so I'll see if momentum will die out. Some volatile...

That is indeed a shortcut, but it still means I need to locate one of my own posts on the forum. Especially if I have not visited in a while, this could be cumbersome. It would be nice if Baron could add the link at the top of the forum, so I can just click it after I log in.

In a user's profile, at the top right, there is a link 'Search for all posts by this user'. When I come back to ET this is typically something I would like to do for my own account, to revisit the threads I participated in. At the top of the forum there already are a few useful links...

I don't really mind the occasional connection problems as I'm not running FXTrade all day, but some users benefitted from changing their DNS server. Preferred DNS server: 4.2.2.1 Alternate DNS server: 4.2.2.2 http://www.mediacollege.com/computer/network/dns.html Make sure you write...

With forex, you do not need to borrow margin. Each transaction entails the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling the other (base / quote currency say EUR / USD). If the EUR/USD exchange rate is 1.50 and you buy 1 lot (100 000 units), you will own 100 k EUR and owe 150 k USD. You...

Some of you may know me as I've been registered on elitetrader for a number of years now. I've been active on and off, which sort of reflects my trading activity. At this time, I swing trade and mainly use technical analysis (trendlines really, not those fancy indicators). My account is tiny...

http://www.alertfx.com/ I think you can set triggers for currency levels and more. You will receive an email when the trigger is hit. Don't use this though and it has been a while since I tried it out, so I'm not sure. Also remember that there can be a difference between the quotes used by...

While it is true that Oanda makes it's own prices, they do admit it when they are wrong. The regularly adjust prices on so called incorrect spikes. Did you contact Oanda after this spike requesting clarification and requesting that they revert all falsely executed orders?

cabletrader, do you really think issues like these are best resolved by posting your inquiry to a public forum? I think contacting Oanda directly will get you a better response. It's often non possible (due to client privacy obligations) or desirable (discussions get into flame wars / offtopic)...

Consider that trading futures has a lot of disadvantages. First higher total trading cost (spread + commission), some FX brokers offer the lowest spread available anywhere. Second, CME futures only offer tradable liquidity on 2 or 3 pairs (EUR/USD, USD/JPY), instead of up to 10 million per trade...

Indeed, the number of ratings would be useful to determine the accuracy of the rating. Also maybe display the rating option at the top of the page (move obvious)? Second, why not announce these changes more prominently. I sometimes see changes on ET and don't know why it happened (like the...

Swiss regulation only applies to Switserland, not to the EU as a whole.

The FX automated system trading section is gone (again). I noticed this before, but then it was back at some point, but today gone again. Any reason?

Some brokers allow you to trade 24/7, but the FX market is really a 24/5 market. If you can trade on the weekend, the rate will be flat mostly (no volume really). If you are in the US, you can trade sunday afternoon / evening, because the market opens in New Zealand for monday trading around...

Please, you registered only to bash the forex retail market. You obviously have a hidden agenda. Either get lost or build some credibility by posting meaningful and unbiased replies to other topics.

I don't think the leverage (or the video) is fake. If you have a 10k account, and trade at 50 leverage, each pip is worth 50 US (http://fxtrade.oanda.com/tools/fxcalculators/profit_calculator.shtml). If you make 250 pip on this position (the average gain from the video I believe), you gain...
