Hey how are the spreads and service with TD Ameritrade FX?

I think I saw a tower at Costco for around 550 or so. It had like 6GB Ram, Quad Core, and a TB Hard Drive. Not too sure how much bigger you can go with your budget. Unless you build like these guys.

I would consider that swing trading because you are willing to hold overnight if the trade permits.

Which method of trading do you favor the most or find to be the most profitable? Day trading? Swing Trading? Long term trading?

Hey guys if you're interested in this method the ACD thread is great for it. I also found a pretty interesting blog on it...could show a decent set up/ strategy. http://traderx.blogspot.com/ I will check this out today. So far it gave me a good trade on the VIX. I think this method is...

Yeah I agree with you on that. I am struggling to make my day trades consistently profitable since it is difficult to navigate through what appears to be noise. My swing account is a lot healthier. Right now I am trying to hammer down a statistical method with some decent Win/Loss ratios. I...

Anyone try to trade breakouts of the opening range in a stock for day trades? I am currently trying to backtest/look into this method more. So far I have found that the first 30 minutes can provide a potentially good indicator for the direction of the market once it breaks one of these...

Which pivots do you guys think are better? Classic Pivots or Camarilla Pivots?

Okay. Sounds great. I'll probably start an account with them after a little more research. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!

Alright cool. People have been saying Oanda is slipping on the MT4 platform, do you know anything about this?

Which chart style do you all prefer for quick intraday trades for 10-20 cent gains? Minute, Tick, or Range?

Anyone got anything else to add?

Yeah it all depends on your trading style. But for intraday trades I like to use tick charts because it does filter some of the noise out of 5 minute intervals. It's a better display of the tape during the day.

Hey thanks for the advice. I really like TOS too I am trying to find people who use them for FOREX. And yes I am from US.

I will be starting a new FOREX account this week. I have come down to three options, which one do you guys think is the best? 1. Oanda with MT4 2. FXCM with MT4 3. TD Ameritrade with TOS Any comments would be greatly appreciated, so thanks in advance!

So the broker is essentially trading against me?

If want to acquire a base, you could probably start with a StockTwits account and then get some followers (if you haven't already done so). This is completely free. Once you gain popularity, you can probably start a blog with advertisements. If you end up getting an account, let me know via...

Are they a good broker for FOREX? I like their TOS platform. How are their fees relative to other brokers?

Yeah I agree with pretty much everyone else posting here. The indicators can be used as a supplement to the price action and the TREND.
