    Securely Networking a File Server

    No router/firewall between the modem and switch? Security should always start with securing the perimeter first, then securing the clients within the network. As for the file server, what some are suggesting is a tad overkill. Use the OS your most comfortable working with, else you'll...

    Why do 95 % of traders lose ?

    Ok, I can't help it, this one is too easy to point out: You've run a few journals on strategies based around TA, like your first one here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=110342 Even a few threads and posts talking about automated trading that was coded around...

    I want to get started with Forex Trading

    It's actually a good overview. Not the one I would recommend myself for someone just starting out or someone wanting to learn the mechanics of the spot FX market, but it's still a decent overview. Oldtime read it through and found it useful at least. Personally, I'd point out Day Trading...

    Ecn?

    As I said in my post, the JForex/SWFX platform and execution through a white label service by FXDD or AlpariUS. Both offer access to Duka's environment and trade execution for Americans.

    Is this HFT?

    Who's your broker? Do you have control over the market center you trad on? Was there any activity in the Time and Sales that reflected the move down? This sounds odd.

    Ecn?

    The only change I'll make to my statement is the 'pretend' part. A while ago they didn't present themselves or IdealPRO like they do now. They are "ECN-Like" at best. Which is fine, they are still a good broker. They end up being your initial counter party to the trade. A lot of ECN shops...

    Ecn?

    IB is not an ECN, nor do they pretend to be. Just FYI Good broker for US residents, but not good for people starting off since their minimums and commissions make small trades quite expensive.

    2000 thousand dollars

    When you entered the trade, you needed to have an idea of where to get out should it go against you. A price that tells you that your idea didn't work and you were wrong. You're dead without this, as losing trades are going to happen often, and eventually you'll run into one that doesn't...

    FXCM Discussion

    IB charges a commission though (min $2.50) which brings their total cost up a bit. The spread list appears to be near what they had with the old FXCM Micro division before they went NDD. I wonder if they'll tighten their Active Trader spreads now that the dealing desk pricing is nearly as...

    Youtube trading videos

    He ran a site/blog called High Probability Trading.. or something like that, you can see from the watermark on the video. The video comes from his live broadcast. So basically he's a young cocky guy who built himself up with some luck then reality beat him back down in one trade...

    AUD trading oppty

    Long EUR/AUD was a much easier "short AUD" trade. Cleaner too. Not trying to be Captain Hindsight here or anything, but even a few days back it had cleaner price moves and more momentum. Was your system specifically related to USD, or just AUD fundamentals?

    trading with an LLC

    "retail" yes, but you'd indicate that you're applying for a corporate account, not a personal one. They'll need a bit more info about the company and a signature from someone within the company who has the authority to fund and trade the account. In this case, that is also yourself.
