    EchoTrade Reliability

    yikes...this is a bit rough to hear. I haven't traded my Echo acct in a few months because I've been trading e-mini's elsewhere. I was planning on re-activating my Echo acct in Oct..but now this has me second guessing that decision. Before I stopped trading it, I was having similar...

    Good work. I'm sure you've heard this before, but just keep to the plan when you increases size. The increased $ amount or share amt can sometimes make your mind work against you. Looks like you're doing a good job with everything else. I took some GDT too today :D Happy Trading.

    FXCM Internet Charts Are Inaccurate

    Did you try selecting one of the other data sources from the FXCm chart page? I think you can choose from FXCM, Comstock data, and one other. Or you can get Forex data from many providers like E-signal.

    IMO very bad idea. If you don't want to reveal your rate then just don't post amount of shares...but IMO you absolutely must be looking at the NET results everyday. If you don't, you will go for a few months thinking that you're ok..and then realize that commissions have been killing you...
