You can say that again...

See that little camera icon in your quicklaunch bar next to the eSignal icon? Click it and follow the simple instructions. Come to think of it, it probably won't work in a non-esignal window so wouldn't work in OmniTrader. I bet OmniTrader has something similar though.

Snarlyjack why don't you use your eSignal snapshot instead of printscreen? Comes out much clearer.

No serious trader would choose Oanda over Globex futures or direct access (like MB or IB). I suppose if you like the "fx game", microlots and java charts then Oanda would be right up your street.

What about the middle? It's the easiest time to trade.

Worked fine for me today.

Will do right away, thanks! I'm safe taking advice from guys like you!

There are some total quacks on ET attacking Global Futures who think RANDOMLY writing in CAPITALS is the best was to make a POINT.

"Convergence" is a prerequisite to the UK adopting the Euro which is the government's aim so we can expect the range to narrow until we say goodbye to GBP.

Looks like EUR/GBP to me...

I can login at last on the European server.

To be fair to IB some downtime is to be expected with all brokers but I would be irrate if I was trading the ASX or KOSPI. Still can't login...

Let's just hope Israel doesn't nuke Iran while they're sorting out the problem.

Doesn't seem to want to log me in to the European server.

Well this is a total **** up - the markets are open and I can't login to TWS. Not even a message just nothing. A grey box.

IB's Booktrader is very good - you just need to spend a few days or weeks configuring it to meet your requirements. I don't know why anyone would bother with Button Trader when everything can be done in Booktrader.

It's a terrible idea to trade forex after work. Most forex trading takes place between the Frankfurt open and the New York close. The 24 hour market that is supposed to be a big benefit of trading forex isn't a benefit at all. Who wants to monitor a market 24 hours a day? Stock index futures...

Because indicators don't work for you they don't work for anyone? Of course indicators lag price but "observing price action" also lags price because you only see the price action that has already happened. The good thing about indicators is that you can use them to build a strategy that can...

True, but for a clueless newbie (e.g. the OP) I think it's best to point him in the direction of stock index futures where at least he'll have some chance. Unless you have a specific reason to trade forex, it's best not to. The OP has probably seen some FXCM advert on Bloomberg and is...

OANDA is also a scam with its 25 pip spreads. Unless you have a back-tested strategy which you're confident will work in a specific currency pair then there are NO benefits to trading currency as opposed to trading stock index futures - unless you don't have enough money to open a futures account.
