No I am not saying at all GFT is cheating someone. I have an account there as well. But I just like to trade with peace of mind of an ECN as well. I am a bit of a scalper sometimes, so I really do not want to do that with a deal desk, I need something with tighter spreads for scalping, thats why...

No worries V, I probably didnt make myself clear on my post. Have a good weekend!

Thanks Ivan, thats what I was saying in my previous post. Hope everyone has a great weekend. How was FX Ivan? I pretty muched sat back and watched since it was pretty crazy and still to new to the fx world! Hope you had a good week!

I think Russia has uncle sam to thank for its markets today, even when its own government took the steps their market was tanking. I think the article today that said Russia wants positive relationswith the US is becuase they see how bad there market can be affected by the us. Even as we were...

I actually now finally have an account open at GFT, and MB TRADING FX. I like the platform on gft and the spreads arent to bad, but sometimes the delay of the order a few seconds I dont like. Plus remember they are a deal desk so they are counter party to your trades. They do have good customer...

POH POH I trade several markets sometimes, but sometimes it gets me all over the place. Like for example sometimes I will trade the Euro(cme) of crude or vice versa and the minis off the Euro or crude. Alot of inverse proportions going on there. Sometimes its good sometimes its bad. But I...

Well thanks for the new journal as I was greatly monitoring your first thread. I am a trader have been for 11 years or so. But new to FX. I am making the transition now from futures trading. I trade the minis(indicies) I am an intra-day trader and use s/r trendlines and price action to make my...

What about scaling out some of your position , would that work for you. Say when it gets to half your profit target take of a 1/3 or 1/2 position, just my two cents from a FX newb.

Yes I am in that camp as well with letting winners ride. Thats why I scalp so I dont feel as bad, so it will be a tough transition for me to have say a 50 pip t/p and not take profit when I am up say 10 or 15 pips and the trade still looks good. Much easier to let ride on the sim but hey gotta...

Thanks so much Ivan, looks clearer to me now! I appreciate your time and great trading. I am slowly learning my patience for the longer term trading where I see a better risk reward then my scalping, which is what I do in the futures but ,its tougher on the emotions and sometimes my r:r is not...

Thanks. I was just wondering, what kind of of stop are you using for this first off? I am just trying to get a feel for the type of trading being done in this thread. I am new and just following along on what people see in charts that makes them trade, things like that. And also what did you...

Ivan, I just have a question or 2 regarding your usd/cad trade, would you mind me asking here or in a pm. I do not want to get your thread off track. I enjoy looking at it since I am new to FX. Thanks Darren

I have seen the websitre but anyone familiar with the avg spreads they have? I doubt they are 1/10th of a pip during normal hours. Anyone have expierence with them?

Does anyone think that the emini margins, the 500 -1000 dollar margins -intraday- will disappear anytime soon or hear any rumblings of that?

where can i get daily and weekly levels for pivot and s/r for the pairs? Which ones are most common? I have seen woodies, demark, camarilla etc.. thanks

Thanks for the reply. I use tradestation for charting also which id pretty decent. I think I will give it a go at GFT. TS is just horrible when it comes to forex. But it was a good palce to learn

Hey Watch I am thinking of going to GFT as well. I have been doing my research the past few weeks on firms. Its tough cause every firm out there has been called a scam by many people. I know every firms as there issues but anything good you hear about GFT. I like the platform and chartiing. I am...

thanks, so your happy with the forex? And are you sucessful and find they dont limit your sucess by holding up quotes on dealbook fx?

Anyone have anythoughts on gft, I am not a news trader. I want to see if anyone trades with them and doesnt have to much of a problem. I trade techincally but intraday. So anyhelp would be appreciated thanks

Yes what ever the margin is at a futures broker, whether its 1k per car 500$ per or whatever thats the margin you need. Just like traderzones and surdo said
