    How do you predict the price before news trading?

    Any prediction will always be right. Either up or down it will always go. The question is only WHEN and from WHICH LEVEL.

    What ideal lot should be used on a 50USD account with 1:20 leverage

    With such a small account the only possibility is to learn scalping. But I warn you, scalping is the most difficult strategy of all. But also the one that teaches you the fastest of all. 1. You have to be prepared to lose it all many times over. I mean MANY TIMES before you learn. 2. Use 1/3 of...

    How do you predict the price before news trading?

    Stay out if you want to be a serious (if such a thing exists...) trader. Otherwise, if you do not care about consistency and sustainability, just do whatever makes you satisfied.

    Difference between ECN and STP

    It depends on the size of your lots. Most ECN brokers operate in a mixed manner, meaning they themselves are direct participants of the same ECN network, i.e they are also market makers at the same time. That means, that the tightest spreads are offered are filled by themselves. If you have a...

    I personally prefer P&F charts, their way of showing PA is much clearer to me. But it is just me.

    How much leverage is safe?

    Depends on your strategy and capacity. For scalping 3-20 minutes waves 1:100 or 1:200 is good, but only if you are able to use a SL of about 2-3 pips and still have more and bigger winners than losers. If you still have no experience / capability to identify those kind of opportunities, you will...

    scalpers

    Then there is low frequency, high precision scalping, what I do. A better term for it could be poaching. I normally trade in a 2-max4 hours time window in a day, with 3-4 trades max. per day. I only take trades after identifying situations where a reasonable possibility of setting a SL of 2.5...

    Online Forex Course

    Advice requested from seasoned future scalpers

    Sorry, but what you are saying just does not make sense. If you really have a working precision entry for counter-trend trades, you have everything. It's all the same. Instead of jumping on the retracement with your precision counter-trend entry, just wait and imagine the retracement is a new...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Yes. This amounts to an indirect aknowledgement of the fact that other markets, where the tax will be applied, wil have no liquidity remaining.

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    It is derogatory mainly in the US. In Europe generally this is not the case at all. On the contrary, trying to discredit it by calling it "socialist" might very well backfire, leaving you with an image of a right-wing fanatic, who is against common people. We have to win this with real...
