    Why plans don't work

    Plans don't work because people don't make them work. People who do make the plans work are rare and priceless... Best Natalie

    Is the party over ?

    Yeah - I know the feeling - Mine are almost always wrong too. The ones I get right are pure luck... Best Natalie

    FXCM hmmmmmmm.

    I read the log of that chat. The impression was deffinitely given that you just trade it the same way you do stocks or futures. That would be total suicide - I've figured that out in a nanosecond. Even a fairly brief look at it all has led me to believe that the timescales are more like 5-10...

    Is the party over ?

    I try to guard against having an opinion on market direction, because the second I have one the market murders me... So I just try to make sure I trade only strategies and signals and stay out of trouble. :) best Natalie

    New front-end for TWS (buttontrader)

    No reply yet to my P.M.. If you want someone to e-mail you - then you need to make it possible to access your e-mail address from your profile. You are after all selling a product even though someone else jumped the gun a little by finding it before you advertised it. I would appreciate a...

    New front-end for TWS (buttontrader)

    Aside from not being able to install the demo, looking at the website it 'looks' like the sort of front end IB has needed for years. IB TWS is clumsy, slow and annoying, and IF this IS all they say it is then it could well be the front end solution that for me is sorely needed for IB. I've been...

    Why plans don't work

    Doubt is a problem that most traders suffer from, even when they have something good. Every trade, - will it work this time? That is what effects the perfect execution and causes one to screw up the plan no matter how good the plan is. Trying to edit out the losers and only take the winners...

    Mini Dow Simulator??

    Even then it will assume your order is at the front of the queue if you are crossing the market or using a limit target exit while in reality you might not get a fill at your price. The only safe way is to get 1 tick beyond for testing purposes - that way you deffinitely got filled... Best...

    Mini Dow Simulator??

    Assuming you are making $175 a day from your 35 trades. a small increase in Commissions to $4 is going to hurt a lot, and even a single tick of slippage is going to wipe you out and you would expect to get slippage, even if because of your own hesitancy or not being fast enough to catch the...

    FXCM hmmmmmmm.

    The only advantage I can see is that when you move up to hourly/daily levels, some of the currency pairs trend very nicely indeed, which could be something to latch onto expecially if you are estimating entries near the day's low in an uptrend (vice versa for downtrend) Basically almost like...

    FXCM hmmmmmmm.

    Hi Rezo, I'm always open minded to things. I just like to know exactly what I'm up against. If I don't understand what I'm dealing with, then I have no hope of finding an edge let alone being profitable. Some people do make money out of forex so it can be done. The key is to understand how...

    FXCM hmmmmmmm.

    CFD's and spreadbets are worlds apart, and very different animals although they do have some things in common. True about not having access without these firms. The question I'm asking myself after an all too brief look is do I really want to trade FX? I'm going to give the benefitv of the...

    FXCM hmmmmmmm.

    I'm just saying it the way I see it. Maybe I am completely wrong, but it does lok awfully like the find of operation the spreadbet firms in the UK run (basically the same model), and I wasn't hugely impressed with them. Best Natalie

    FXCM hmmmmmmm.

    I agree. Seems like a wonderful racket to me, and especially because it's legal. I wonder how come the mob didn't get in on it (or did they invent it?) And don't you just love some of the names as well - I notice one advert at the top of the page is for a comapny called 'Gain Capital'...

    Trauma Of "you're Invited"

    It was part of motivational group thingy I went to once, and I wrote it down because it was a great quote.. Sometimes, having someone else tell you what you already know makes it stick a little better :) best Natalie

    FXCM hmmmmmmm.

    I would agree that market makers do this (and pit traders), but the claim here is that these guys are brokers, and not making a market... Best Natalie
