I think the failing rate depends on the time we take, 1 month and 1 Year should have big difference, and if we take 5 years then failing rate will be may 97-98%. So it is really hard to tell what is the true failing rate.

If you don’t know what you are doing, not just scalping but every trading style is difficult. But when you know what you are doing, even scalping seems easy. It’s true that you can lose money quickly with scalping but we see the other side, you have equal chances of making profits. But don’t do...

I guess both. US is clearly a winner from this situation in many aspects such as: 1. It helps to distance Europe from Russia, break economic ties and increase reliance including military on the US. Also there is hardening perception that Russia is truly an aggressor, despite from 1996 it was...

It's just USD liquidity crunch in Russian banking system I guess. Russian CB need to replenish reserves before it can resume USD lending to banks but it takes time.

Are they not allowed to trade with offshore branches? They will sacrifice protection but well if they aim to get high leverage it's their choice so I don't see a reasons from watchdogs to remove this option.

Commodities are rising means AUD will stay supported. Also Euro seems to be overwhelmed with recoil from Russian sanctions and energy security risks so it looks like outlook for returns on European assets is worsening. Medium-term EURAUD and EURUSD short positions look quite justified in this...

Well I have experience trading news at Tickmill and Hotforex. Spread widening and difference in execution speed with non-busy time is ok. I trade NFP, ECB releases, CPI reports, rate decisions. Despite simplicity I would advice you to record tick data from brokers during several events and see...

Looks good, stop loss below 1.0370 zone, should be good risk-reward ratio, like 1:1.5

I take them as granted, part of the business. Just don't let them to get over certain threshold. If they become too much, clearly it's a signal to overhaul the system or ditch it altogether.

Choose 1:500 and then use lot size to adjust risk it's much more flexible since for every trade you can pick the lot size you need, while to change leverage you should request your broker to do that (at least in case of my broker Hotforex)

I think every loss should be carefully analyzed however it's not easy if you don't have right tools or framework of how to interpret single losses. This may take time to develop though.

Should rebound soon, Russian invasion is overhyped their recognition of Ukraine breakaway regions in current borders basically change nothing as separatists should be satisfied with their current borders => no offensive from both sides.

If you don’t mind losing money while practicing forex trading, then you can trade a micro account, otherwise stick to a demo account, which allows you to trade using virtual money. Ideally, you should start from a demo account and then switch to a micro account, so as to test the strategies that...

Yeah exactly that's why recent run on hopes of the Fed's fast action is an overreaction and it looks like that it's gradually reassessed towards correct outcome.

Mine at Hotforex are processed usually within 24H. Btw I use Skrill and Bitcoin as payment methods.

You can try to regress returns of US10Y to JPY returns with a lag to test that hypothesis. Visual overlaps gives you just an idea that connection between two variables exists but I don't recommend to use to accept it without proof.

Have a look at Tickmill or Hotforex both are regulated by FCA and according to my experience, spreads during the time of highest liquidity (middle of London session) stay almost all the time at 0 on major pairs like EURUSD and GBPUSD

Actua Actually the odds of a 50 bp move in March has decreased on Friday so I'd this is a kind of a brave call. The inflation is still expected to start fading in 2Q because so there is a risk that Fed will choke growth with abrupt or too aggressive action.
