Welcome. I actually prefer mt4i.com, because the way they present the average data is much more meaningful. Mt4Spreads was good, but they are offline a lot.

I developed a method for video recording your desktop to track your indicators and automated strategies in real time on any price chart. This works for both experienced and new traders. One reason was because it is a great way to monitor broker platform performance. Forex spread monitoring...

Agreed. This is the difference between seeing things the way they really are, and seeing things the way you want them to be. Questioning whether something you witnessed was real is a function of the mind making assumptions about the past or worrying about the future; neither of which you...

I know how you feel. I own a macbook core2duo and would love to run trading software natively in os x 10.6.x. Your best bet would be to use VMware Fusion 3 or Parallels. The second option is to test Crossover for Mac and see what happens. I know Metatrader 4 can successfully run in...

Interestingly enough, i was thinking about forex when I responded. because of the smaller lot sizes available (10,000 - mini; 1,000 - micro; 100 - nano of the base currency). Stacking can work quite in your favor.

I think part of the reason why ATS was able to improve your strategy is because the repetitions of obverving your own strategy outside of yourself allowed you to notice what works or what doesn't work. ATS forces you to be logical (it only does what you program it to do), and consequently...

1. If you do not trade through earnings, or some other borrowed money to fund your trading account, what type of money do you suggest using? 2. Dollar cost averaging is always a "good" thing, in the sense that this is the ultimate goal of most traders anyway. I suppose there are different...

On the contrary. He only confirms what i've been saying. Particularly doing your best. Taking things personally doesn't necessarily mean that you never have outward reactions. The trader who got angry when he made loses appeared to take it personally on the outside, but the truth is that...

Your reply was equally more stimulating. I use the 4 Agreements model based on the Toltec wisdom of Don Miguel Ruiz. I recommend the audio version, so that you can listen to it anytime in the car, mp3 player, etc. We tend to lay down printed matter for a long time and not read it. They...

When John Travolta said in the movie Swordfish: Houdini was able to make an elephant disappear in a room filled with people. How did he do this? Mis-direction. When you realize that the opinions of others are irrelevant to fundamental market truths. The masses lose sight of the...

It was listed in the ET hall of fame. Threads that were thought to have been useful. I found it interesting and decided to add my comments to it. I'm sure others found it useful also.

The markets, like the ocean (and the entire universe), are in constant motion. To retail traders, they close on the weekends (hence a gap sometimes), but the fundamentals that drive the market keep the market in constant motion. The ocean always has retracements. It will reach a certain point...

I switched between full time, then part time, then back to working a regular job, and then back to trading full time. I'm "on break" right now waiting for some programming to come through. I can say that, starting with under 10k, you want to reduce your overhead expenses as much as possible...

Thanks. The spell check i messed up. I meant expatriate. or expat for short

Life is an eternal now. But we want to conceptualize everything we perceive in order to give it meaning in our minds. I have one better. The Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz. Also the 4 agreements. The Voice of Knowledge discusses in depth how our attention has been hooked by the...

You can use a vps, which may be a cheaper always on alternative. A good trader vps is www.commercialnetworkservices.com . Not the only one, but their customer service is excellent and they have special tweaks specifically designed for traders. And they also have 2 factor security login and an...

In order to master awareness, I recommend the audio version of The 4 Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. 1) Be impeccable with your word 2) Don't take anything personally 3) Don't make assumptions 4) Always do your best << most important. No risk, no reward. Although you may certainly gain...

I would disagree. If that retail trader has the programming skills or has access to the necessary programming skills, then it is not too bad. Futures and especially forex has come a long way in commissions reduction for discount/direct-access electronic trading platforms with level 2 quote...

Wow, interesting to think after all this time people are still opinionating on this thread. I've concluded that it IS possible to automate profits. From a practical standpoint, "automated trading" means opening and closing trades unattended (without human intervention). The ultimate goal...

I suppose you could use api for each acct if brokerage offers you access (just ask, most platforms do have this) and then use some kind of account copier tool. Perhaps have a coder make a custom tool. Some do have multi-account managers, but may require you to be a funds manager or CTA or...
