    Historical volatility

    I would like to ask exactly what it means when a currency cross has a historical volatility of, say, 10%. I understand that the 10% is the volatility expressed in annual terms, and that it represents a one standard deviation move. Also, I understand that one standard deviation represents two...

    Benchmark for Daytraders

    First of all, how come you are being a daytrader thinking of a yearly P&L. I am being a daytrader thinking only of my daily P&L. And only if I don’t meet me daily goals i think about my acc. as in yearly terms.

    Trouble managing an account.

    Hi Everyone, I am a profitable trader, and recently started managing an account for my friends. For some reason I started missing "my" trades and got too nervous to take even a few ticks drawdown. Instead of making 12-15 ticks daily I started to lose the same 12-15 ticks. Anyone had the same...

    Hi everyone, Does anyone know why they sometimes have a zero spread on Currenex and other ECNs, say 1.4150 bid and 1.4150 ask that dont match. As far as I understand any matching orders supposed to be filled as in the case above 1.4150 bid is supposed to match 1.4150 ask and both orders...

    Trading forex news

    Forget about the news trading, it's a waste of time and money. One could have made descent money 3 years ago when NFP moved the cable 200pips one way months after months, and all the Brokers offered a guaranteed entry/stop orders. But that is gone now, and the "new" auto click software won’t...

    Dukascopy

    I found Duka 3 years ago, but trading with them only for 6 months. Never had any hedges so can't tell, but I'm sure that it is the same.

    Dukascopy

    Look, Duka is not a bucketshop, of course I and other clients can withdraw funds. Regarding "making money" its up to you to make money Duka is an ECN and only provides access to interbank.

    Dukascopy

    It is possible to close with slippage 0, use "conditional close", or simply close by buying or selling back and than select "merge positions". I dont know what your native language is but I suggest calling Duka and asking them all the questions that you have.

    Dukascopy

    I have a live account with them and have to say that the spreads are the same for demo and live acc. To be honest I have never seen a 4pip spread on EURUSD its more like 0,5-2, on cable its 1,5-4, on yen its 0,5-2 swissy 1-3, GBPCHF is 3-6. Take a look again during active sessions.

    Dukascopy

    Yes I have problems getting a fill during news on market orders with a slippage limited to 3-5 pips. Apart from that I dont see any disadvantages. I don't use the MD in my experience it's useless , and for charting I use a free( demo) MT4.
