    Free news? Open a practice Oanda account and use their news feed. Pay service: Bloomberg or Reuters. I find Reuters a bit better tho, and cheaper.

    Need a better prop firm

    If your read the OP's initial question which it appears you didn't he/she asked are there any firms who would sponsor me, not will a firm hire if I already have that elusive green card. And since you are really not employed at a depisit firm, work status is irrelevant.

    Ivan's Trade Thread

    Both aussie and kiwi are a little oversold here. Aussie always gives me fits so I will stay with the kiwi. Gone long NZDUSD at 7147 with target 7190-7200. And before Ivan asks, will look to cut losses if we break 7100.

    Ivan's Trade Thread

    Took profit @ 7180. +50 pips. Don't feel like holding it for the next few hours as it looks like near-term support is building here for a bit since 11 am. Don't like leaving money on the table. So off to dinner and rest a bit and start all over again. GL to all. BTW, kudos to whoever...

    Ivan's Trade Thread

    rarely do I use fixed stops on my discretionary trades, but if I have to put one up here to follow someone else's model, than I would be getting nervous if price were to reverse and approach 7300 as that would be a large enough bounce off 7240 to justify that support would for a while longer...

    Yet Another Oanda Thread

    Question for the Oanda die hards: I was looking at the charting on their platform as an alternative to mt4 (yes, I know prices may not be 100% reflective of the broker(s) I use - looking at the longer time frame charts) and wonder why do they have 3 hr charting instead of 4? 4 is a standard...

    Do futures brokers offer ACH transfer?

    But ACH, wires, checks, etc do not come from a client's "futures account" at IB. Here, funds from your trading are swept into their equity/cash account which is has that old SIPC protection. Funds are never left in the "futures" part of your trading account. Semantics, but that is how they...

    Equity trading “training programs”

    Speaking of "training programs" I saw on cnbc today that Velez has jacked up his prices on his "Trade Free For Life" program from 5k to now 9k. (check that - website has it at 10K). Either he is losing money big from his trainees or he's starting to price in the cost of gas for all his traveling...

    Ivan's Trade Thread

    Took a loss last week (-60) on the Kiwi trade but looking to re-enter, this time short. Currently flat going into FOMC but looking at the 7240 line as that represents the 61.8% Fib retracement from the 6600-8200 run from last summer. It has bounced off it a few times and briefly dipped below...

    is it possible to watch bloomberg or cnbc online?

    The Bloomberg feed is about 30 secs behind live broadcst. If you are just using it to follow what's going on, shouldn't be a problem, but if you want to use it to make timely trading decisions, you may be at a disadvantage. CNBC also has their own buffered feed but you have to pay for.

    why deleted my thread,b/c is it too important?

    It probably got deleted because of your first 7 posts, five were the exact same cut and paste info in various threads and such. There is no need to keep repeating yourself as if what you have to say is anymore important than the next person. State it once and see what or if the response is; keep...
