    Anyone heard of currensee.com?

    sorry for resurrecting and old-ish thread, but i just found your site. I think the idea etc. is really good, what I would want to know is, i don't mind folks seeing my stats, percentages and what not, but can they actually see your position sizes realtime, for example, could they actually...

    Advice for proper way to prove a strategy?

    Hi all, I'm looking for direction. I want to go about things the proper way. I've been away from this site and others like it for a long time. Let's say you've developed a profitable automated expert advisor, or even manual strategy. You've been a hermit for a long time and finally it's time...

    possible to out-grow your broker??

    let's dream for a moment that we are the 5% successful traders who are just raking it in.... the average account size of a client at a retail forex broker is probably frankly quite small. But what of those who actually are pulling it off? Where do the super rich do their trading? at what...

    Tradestation no longer available to Canadians??

    on the phone they told me that about a month ago they started to not accept new applications from canadians, and closing/going to cash for existing canadian account holders. All they could tell me is that Canadian residents are no longer allowed, while many other non-US residents continue to...

    Tradestation no longer available to Canadians??

    What's up? I'm in shock to find out today that tradestation accounts are not available to canadian residents anymore! Anyone know what happened, or why the apparent decision? Also, where are my fellow former canadian tradestation account holders going to that compares for backtesting data and...

    cost to hold a forex contract overnight?

    could someone please tell me what is the cost to hold a forex contract overnight? Is an amount deducted right at 5 pm or something? I'm using tradestation by the way. I'm thinking this is not like futures where you just need a standard overnight margin available...i'm paying interest on this...

    recession...$ up or down?

    it's a newbie question, but, wouldn't one expect a currency to down in a recession, even further after everyone agrees one has started? so....i suppose the poll would be where, using the USD as an example, would you expect the direction to go.

    Tradestation - "trade server down"

    Why oh why does this happen so much in tradestation?? Disconnected. No trade server available. Trying to reconnect. Does anyone else see this multiple times per day? Charts are updating, but I'm finding it difficult to do short-term trading! I don't need this stress everyday.

    Ice shelf collapse was biggest for 10,000 years

    Absolutely. Either way. Let's do it. It doesn't matter if CO2 is one part or all of the problem. Who cares. There's something more urgent going on here. Man, I remember running around all day in the sun in the 1970s. And by golly, it seemed to take all day to get a sunburn. Now you better...

    Ice shelf collapse was biggest for 10,000 years

    NO, NO, NO. I know it wasn't YOU PERSONALLY that said that. It was probably Zed10. Really sorry there. I read the rest about GW, that you offered, but the thread in general left me with that other revelation also that sort of hit me bigger, that's all. Where I am we probably call them a...

    Ice shelf collapse was biggest for 10,000 years

    Oh man, I'm just shaking my head here. No, I hadn't heard that one. 20 years ago I wasn't nearly as interested in current issues. That's just too much.

    Ice shelf collapse was biggest for 10,000 years

    Whoa, that was an interesting thread mostly because I had never previously made the connection between what you call 'evangelicals' and their lack of regard for the environment. That was pretty freaky to me, but now an epiphany. The 'church-going public' that I am used to, I really think...

    Ice shelf collapse was biggest for 10,000 years

    People have been murdering each other for 1000s of years now too, why is it a problem now? Because God gave us a couple of tablets with a few 'thou shalts' on them? Yeah, that's right. If HE didn't like what we are doing to his earth, our earth, then surely he'd send an "ammendment" to the...
