How do you calculate expectancy? Should I make a note of all my trades and calculate in percentages my losses and wins than fill in the terms of that ecuation? or is it more like develloping an instinct. Why is 20 too tight? Because it can be easily triggered with a spike by the brooker, or...

How tight are your stops man? Would you reccomand using stops of tighter than 20 pips for daytrading?

Ok man, you are right about reading between lines, I learned that quick on ET. Anyway, I'm doing research everyday, but of course, I'll have to go live for the real answers. Untill then tho, I'll still ask some probably stupid questions for a seasoned trader, then will have to diferentiate...

I agree about the emotions involved, but you are wrong thinking I don't have a good strategy. Read my other tread "diff between demo and real acc" to see what I mean.

I would, but my feet are unusualy cold:D . Seriously now, I have to experiment for a few more weeks(and ask stupid questions:D ) before I go live, and I do learn every day, but on a demo for now.

I heard the word forex two weeks ago for the first time. I've done research ever since. I know I'm asking beginner questions, but I have a good reson for it: I'm a beginner.

I took money management into account. Still, I know I have a great chance of getting wiped out. If I do, I'll announce it on the forum, so anybody can learn from it, but like I said in my other tread, my system works verry well on a demo, so I'll have to hope that fxcm's demo behaves exactly...

That's what I was wondering myself. What would happen if you had an acc on forex? Would your broker come after your property in such a case?

I don't have experience, and I am undercapitalized. But I have a winning game, that's why I want to get in now, if the risks are resonable. Read the tread "diff between demo and real acc", you'll better understand what I mean.

I don't trade with scared money. I'm not worried if I'm losing the money I start trading with, that's my risk capital and I expect them to be at risk. I am however worried about my assets. Those are not risk capital. Therefore I need to be sure they are not at risk. Anybody has any experience...

I'm doing my homework. Part of it is to ask qs on forums. Now, the response I'm looking for is: "I traded X\Y broker's demo then switched to real acc. The real acc behaved\didn't behave like the demo." How hard is that?

Hence the reason the tread is called "the difference between demo and real acc". So, jimrockford , What demo did you use, and was it a difference when you went real?

I'm quite a smart guy (if I may say so myself :D ) so I'm sure I can tell the experienced traders from the"experienced traders" who mail me. Ok, I now know what PM means. If I knew that sooner and I sent you a pm, you would have got the message above. If you are willing to endure a few mails...

LOL. OK man, I wasn't trying to pick you up or something. The thing is this: A reliable friend on the net gave me an ebook with a strategy for fx. Now, untill two weeks ago I never heard the word forex, but I made a search on the net, long story short, I learned how to open an acc and have...

Too much background noise here. How about I prove you wrong in person. Let's swap mails. I'll give you more details personaly by mail. Mine is jessieblues22@yahoo.com.

I know all that man. But I have a strategy that relies on 15 to 20 pip stops and it's verry good (atleast on the demo, hopefully that behaves like the real acc). So, that said, the initial risk will be somewere like 5% margin, wich is still risky, but I'm confident it will work. I just hope that...

I was wondering about that myself. I plan to open a mini of 300$. In what conditions would you say I could wind up beeing in debt to fxcm. Could I loose a substantial amount over my 300$, say a few thousand, or even assets?

Thanks for your input. Tell me please, are you winning or losing with them? Could they win more if you lose more, or do they win more spreads when you increase your acc size?

LOL. That's funny. but unnecessary Ok, done the search and a vagilion sites came up, what now, read them all? Come on people, is it that hard to get an answer from someone directly implicated with fxcm? give a fellow trader an opinion.Has anybody made the switch from their demo to the...

Don't get mad on me man, I appreciate any feedback. Ok, now we're getting somewere. So you use ouanda. What made you switch from fxcm.? What exactly did you not like there? I got used to their platform and would like to stay there if there is not much difrence between them and ouanda...
