    Very low spread FOREX broker

    We can never be 100% sure but GlobalPrime is the only 1 offering trade receipts so we can see which liquidity provider filled our order. The other way to tell is by the amount of leverage provided with your trading account. An A book brokers cannot provide very high leverage so if your broker...

    Is Forex market an illusion ? How to adapt to it ?

    Ok, you can compare Indicators to the tools tradesmen carry to do a job. Their tools help them do each job but the tradesman still needs to know what to do and adapt to every situation he will encounter at each work site. Only 1 year is not enough to acquire the skills to trade successfully...

    Caught in gbpusd with large short position.

    Were you doing automated trading using an EA? OK but clearly you'll need to have some risk management in place so that the draw down does not get out of control? 20% in just 2 trades is way too much.

    Is Forex market an illusion ? How to adapt to it ?

    Yes it is. Its a simple concept and very effective at taking people's money. When we BUY or SELL, the counter party in that transaction is a big bank or market maker and they don't want to lose so they will drive the market up and down in order to clean up our positions and take our money. They...

    Caught in gbpusd with large short position.

    Its not a nice situation to be in. I'm thinking that the GU will go higher to 1.391 or 1.394 and then retrace because looking at retail positions, I don't believe they are ready to do a big run up just yet. Therefore, I think if you can hold on, it will retrace down and it might be enough for...

    Best sites for best forex news terminal.

    Why did you post here? Did you want to advertise one of the names? Other than Babypips the other sites you've mentioned would be a waste of time, Google does not even find Fx merge coin so it must be insignificant. Anyway, the only website forex traders need is Forex factory, and the main...

    Portfolio Tracker

    Yes it can be but there are many features out there which can make our life easier. For example, sharesight will automatically pickup my trades from different brokers and will update my portfolio.

    Portfolio Tracker

    I found another site which has portfolio management https://ziggma.com/ My conclusion is that Ziggma doesn't suit me but the other 2 sites are great. I like "Sharesight" because it provides good reports so it will make my tax filling very easy and "SimplyWallSt" are great because of their...

    Portfolio Tracker

    My broker is Comsec in Australia. I know about IB but I'm looking for something which would also enable me to also input my closed trades from other brokers and provide reports on my whole portfolio.

    Hi Guys, I currently have a portfolio of 8 stocks and have had trading activity in approx 20 stocks this year. I was suggested to sign up to "sharesight" for portfolio management purposes (ongoing performance tracking plus accounting documentation). https://www.sharesight.com Are there are...

    Brokers for HFT(-ish) strategy.

    Depends on what you trade and how you trade it. Usually (for the majority of traders) they are not very important.

    Brokers for HFT(-ish) strategy.

    $5 is not bad, I had a few accounts with IC M too. The problem with IC is their feed. In the past it had bigger spikes than those of other brokers or it had questionable, non existent spikes which other brokers didn't have. Plus strange things happened which I could not explain. Many brokers...

    String of losses

    LOL there are strategies and then there are other strategies. The NOT AGAIN strategies are generally safer because they limit the risk to a single trade. The HOLDING strategies need to be carefully refined so that the holding positions don't become a liability and this is an area of weakness...

    String of losses

    LOL I hear you loud and clear :) It crossed my mind many times and in 3 strategies it is handled in 2 ways 1. We reduced trade size so the holding lot sizes are small (we compensate for the reduced profits by trading more instruments) 2. We have systems in place which expedite trade recovery

    String of losses

    Holding has another cost which is not immediately obvious. It is the opportunity cost. Imagine what we could do if we released that capital and made it work harder.
