    Will I make it or never post here again?

    Another likely scenario is that you make it to 20K before going back down to 4K -- always keep that in mind. Good luck!

    Eur/USD

    Who isn't short or would only go short at this point, besides those who were long from far below? I would take that into consideration.

    Ok, which one of you is trying to buy back 50MM cad at this time of day? :)

    Esignal Software Behind IB TWS by 15 Seconds !

    I've been a faithful realtick user for years now (for better or worse), but I'd have to say that their quotes have been pretty much on the ball for quite some time now (charts tend to lag about .5 sec).

    And I thought I was giving them a compliment :)

    Usd/cad

    If rsi gets you in the trade, how does it get you out in a strongly trending market?

    Usd/cad

    Relevance of one's stops will match the entry. If your enter positions at meaningful junctures (whether technical, fundamental, psychological), your stops will have meaning as well. If your reason for entering a position is because "it's up/down too much", then yes, your stops will be...

    Is it possible to trade a small FOREX account up to $100 Million?

    In the real world, it just somehow doesn't workout that way :)

    Usd/cad

    Don't mean to mess with your head, but "no stops" only has to not work once, if you know what I mean. Hope you have a mental number in mind.

    Usd/cad

    Careful, '91 lows are a blink away. Might be a vacuum underneath.

    Is it possible to trade a small FOREX account up to $100 Million?

    You're forced to trade eur/usd at 3-5 pip spread while the rest of the world trades at 1. In this case, "slippage" would be the kindest euphamism for asschurning.

    Is it possible to trade a small FOREX account up to $100 Million?

    Aside from the rest of the crap on the first post . . . I love how they automatically connect "largest market in the world" with no slippage. Please explain what being down 3 pips immediately following every single execution is on a liquid market like eur, if not slippage.

    Stops

    Good point. The importance of not overleveraging one's account is really overlooked. I think most of us (myself included) have that overarching objective of finding that "perfect" edge and then leveraging the hell out of it. Yet overexposure to risk can ruin any edge no matter how...

    Dollar rally

    That's quite a dollar rally. You must be trading from australia? :)

    Stops

    I hope that's an accurate assessment. Anyways, once you abandon stops, I think the tendency is to become less stringent with timing of entries, so the change may become self-defeating as you are not trading exactly the same as you were had you still believed a stop existed behind every...

    IB- my ZN stop orders trigger only during RTH

    I had the same problem and was told the clock graphic was a bug for after hours stop-limit orders on ecbot (order was still active). After upgrading to build 856 the clock disappeared.

    trading without charts...suicide?

    If you trade a single market, day in, day out, you should pretty much get all the important levels in your head anyways. Is it suicide? You never know til you try, and who knows, you might surprise yourself.
