Thanks for the questions Nik, 1)Well I can't say I planned for the first entry to move 120 pips against me. But I was ready for such a move. It is always hard- wait too long and the trade may go without you- get in too early and you risk more. I was looking at the fundamentals -especially news...

Yes Oanda is 50:1, not that I ever use that much leverage.

Well I am always modifying my trading, looking for the optimum way. I began with swing trading then moved to scalping (by which I mean any trade less than an hour long) and now I'm moving back to swing. With forex swing trading, to me, means using more fundamental indicators whereas scalping...

Nik How about telling us your personal experiences with the brokers you joined. I trade forex with GCI, FXCM and oanda and Interactive brokers at the moment (and futures with Interactivebrokers). If I take oanda as an example . I opened a short on yen that went against me about 120pips. I...

Frank, I personally don't trade forex with stops because they are a tempting target for a pip hungry broker. However, the forex brokers have no reason to try to blow up your account. Provided they can make a pip (or more)off each trade then it is all good for them. I used to complain that...

I saw this cool freebie from www.nurium.com http://www.nurium.com/forex/ http://www.nurium.com/forex/timeBar_shot.jpg It shows the time based on tokyo/london/new york trading day.

Have been trying it out this week Def. It is very good, a great service for forex traders.

The forex yen hasn't traded below 100 for years so I thought you might be looking at saxo's CFDs(the mini-futures) which have a wider spread than forex, and reverse the forex USD/Yen rate.

Were you looking at forex with the yen?

Johnston: "Trading Options to Win" has useful chapters on straddles and strangles.

The 'scientific' picture of the world is the belief that the universe began with big bang, that the stars and planets all happened to come together; and that a few billion years ago, on this planet, some chemicals mixed together to form amino acids. These then happened to mix together and...

Isn't the scientific "theory" exactly number 2 (except replace "instantaneous" with gradual?

Nik I have been following this debate for over 10 years. Part of the reason the ID campaign took the path it has was that the 'scientists' said *you cannot debate with us because you have no counter theory*. So ID took this route - knowing full well that they had a metaphysical assumption...

Let me be direct as I think you haven't understood some points. 1. Given spread and normal trading conditions two of your trades would have made about 2 or 3 pips - assuming you got in exactly where you said (which coincidently was at the extreme tick). 2. The third one you lost money. 3...

Dear Stu, Merry Xmas, From an earlier post of what Biology textbooks teach: "It is important to keep this concept in mind: Evolution is random and undirected (Biology, Miller and Levine, Prentice Hall, 1995, p.658). One of the great wonders of our existence and of life itself is that it...

Here are some quotes from leading evolutionists Stu: T.H. Morgan thought that the “main goal of Biology was to show the invalidity of religious views of man and the universe” (T. Dobzhansky in The Evolutionary Synthesis, 1998, p.446). Julian Huxley, at the Darwin Centennial in 1959...

Here are quotes from some popular biology highschool texts. It would be disingenuous to say they are not anti-religious: "It is important to keep this concept in mind: Evolution is random and undirected (Biology, Miller and Levine, Prentice Hall, 1995, p.658). One of the great wonders of our...

Nik, Karl popper was the one who came up with the idea of falsification as being evidence of a scientific theory. That idea is now not so well accepted from my reading of Philosphy of Science. But anyway Popper is famous for saying "Darwinism is not a testable scientific theory but a...

Using ZZZzz as a model for how Intelligent Design scientists think might not be fair to the IDers:)
