Yeah you are right. Its not a good idea to use fxcm data trading through IB. Guess Ill just have to use the Oanda platform. Sierra really sucks balls when it comes to forex.

What are you comparing with? I am using Sierra forex data and it seems legit. There is a bit of a delay between Oanda practice account and Sierra but I dont know which one has the delay. Edit: Oanda live account data is delayed slightly.

How do they analyse charts in Japan?

Lucky I guess. I learnt to shut pain and madness out early on so quieting mind doesnt require pomp and ceremony for me. I had to google what that meant :D One day he started with me. I fuckin snapped. He went to hospital. That was my first therapy session. I had a few more therapy sessions...

Does anyone trade using this combination? How do I set a value per pip for a trade?

I agree with your explanation but I dont know what you mean with the quote above. Test or false break or 1st leg is where the problem lies. Too much defining things causes confusion.

If you have not reached your trade target then you should not be concerned with every fluctuation and the only way to ignore the fluctuations is to not watch your trade. Observe yourself before and during a trade and you will notice how calm and focused you are before the trade and then how...

You should probably cut the grass? Too many adverts. Change the channel.

Haha. She hides behind the couch when im shouting at my monitors :D

Thanks @smallStops. I hope my story encourages others to confront their demons. You have to get those blocks out of the way in order to take on the challenge of trading. This game shines a harsh light into all the hiding places where your demons lurk. No I have never done a spirituality retreat...

I have to tell you this one story. This one night my stepfather came home with beer on his breath, Kenny Rogers blaring from his car radio, and he was looking for a fight. Probably had his own childhood demons which needed to be expressed. He obviously didn’t like the look of me or maybe I was...

Haha you two crack me up :D @volpri You are baiting. I'll bite. Maybe you will be a challenge. Your paradigm is obvious my friend. You are associating meditation (in parody form) with losses. Why? Have you tried and failed in the past? Now you're trying to be the cool kid on the block through...

Very interesting. I trade futures through Sierra Charts (using IB) and have absolutely no complaints with the platform. I would like to get back into forex because I want to start learning to hold positions longer term and I want to cut my teeth on tiny lot sizes. I have opened an account with...

Every now and again I find my focus slipping, so I took a week off to get my concentration back onto my charts, going through my notes, making sure Im clear on my strategy etc.

Forex trading in the UK has the advantage of spread betting. As far as I know this means that I can make as much money as I can without paying a single cent in tax ... with one big caveat: It cannot be my primary form of income. I can only benefit from this if I have a full time job and spread...

Why not visualise yourself disappearing off ET? Then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and you would have achieved your first successful visualisation. It would be a great start for you and everyone on ET would benefit as well :D. Win win.

Unfortunately I dont attend any personal groups. Its very difficult to communicate this 'stuff' to people that are on different wavelengths. I understand the sceptical point of view because I was one my entire life. Im lucky that I have extreme points of view to measure against. You see, I grew...

Go back a few years and I wouldn’t have been sharing anything online. Self preservation of an imaginary ego or something. How do I know what is real or what subtle paradigm programming still lingers? This forum is just one of the avenues I use to express myself. Its a convenient tool I use to...

There is this saying that comes to mind which applies elegantly to your love for programmers: In times of change, learners will inherit everything while the learned will find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.

Because we are all blinded by the brilliance you radiate. Just go with the flow sunshine.
