    Trailing stop differences

    Correct me if I'm wrong. Different brokerrs have different methods of applying trailing stops. It would seem FXCM requires a price move of min. 10 pips before the trailing stop is activated. MB's stop appears to move as soon as the trade is placed. Am I seeing this correctly?

    why trade forex?

    I'm not sure I understand how you apply the round trip fee. Are you just adding in the spread twice? I'm confused.

    I'm assuming you mean an integrated 3rd party chart service? I downloaded the Interbankfx demo, will try it, thanks for the info.

    MBtrading issue

    Not sure if you mean direct integration, as neo is with MB? I opened an Oanda chart to use with the MB demo order entry. Electronic duct tape until I decide which broker to use. Short list. Oanda-but no trailing stops MB-but needs outside charting FXCM-not entirely familiar with the...

    Trial and error. That always gets in the way. Zero sum game. Dim sum soup.

    That's what it sounds like. I am also running an Oanda demo, they have no trailing stops available, but their charts are better. FXCM demo seems pretty stable, a little quirky at first on execution. Forex.com did not seem all that great. Big Frank--what do you use for charting?

    MBtrading issue

    Just got off the phone with MB support. I was told that was a possible "ghost" order on the demo. As far as the charts, I was told they use tick data and the charts are delayed quotes. I like the platform, but those "issues" sound a little screwy.

    Update. It was actually 10 minute delay on their charts. The charts seem to lag quite a bit.No question about connectivity on my end (DSL, dual core, 4g ram), no response from MB either. Anyone else

    MBtrading issue

    MBtrading demo account. I checked the system at approx 2am eastern time and it was running fine. When I checked again at 4 am, it had logged off. When I logged back on, I had an open order (GBP/JPY) without any record of the order or fill in the book, just an open position. Any trades from the...

    How did you switch to price action only?

    I agree, but it would seem some people use them as indicators, for example, the bacon-double-doji, downbound bear etc. Sorry for that, but I've studied them and cannot say I understand completely, but they have dedicated followers.

    Would candlesticks be considered indicators?

    SEASON 2, thursday TV WALLSTREET WARRIORS

    Weird. I think, maybe 20 years ago, I would have been impessed with Brett. Now, regardless of his success, I just wanna slap him till he cries. He's young, 28 right? If I needed $5 mil., I would still want to talk to his older partner. Too flashy for me. Although, who cares? Venture capital. Who...
