Your bars and volume are screwed up I think. Bars with higher closes are red and vice versa.

Thank you mrbigfrank. rcanfeid No I do not update automatically for all the reasons stated above.

This isnt exactly a trading issue but since there is a lot of computer knowledge on this board I thought Id look for an answer here. Is there a way to turn off those annoying little popups at startup that tell me there are updates available, You dont have antivirus software installed, etc?

You're trading forex for .10 pips like me.:)

Google dealbook360. GFT is the broker and they have a pretty nifty charting package. Everything from 1 sec. on up.

I think it gets harder every year. You get tens of thousands of people trying to play the same little games,patterns, fibs, etc, all of which are well known and quants exploiting every concieveable edge as long as it lasts. Youre story is not uncommon, I believe.

You might consider currencies. It is entirely possible to trade currencies with $500 and get a fairly realistic trial of what you are going to have to deal with when it comes to trading. You can trade $10000 at a time and each pip will only be 10 cents so your $500 will last you quite awhile...

Dont understand why you went long there. Had a nice double top and took out the last swing low.

This pair does move at times. The spread usually sucks, tho. Do you just trade off gut feelings?

I dont get any quotes from Oanda over the weekend and my platform is blank. How can they trade 24/7? Do you mean that they will honor stops 24/7?

I dont see anything in the op about teaching, benefiting, or anything else. Maybe he just wants to show off.

yeah but..............they do not work the same on all time frames, at least in my short career. The shorter the time frame the less reliable the pattern, imho.

From what Ive seen on this board so far this description fits a lot of people.

Its funny to see all these great traders on Elite ripping this guy who at least did make some money somewhere, sometime.

I have found forex to be very hard to scalp also. I think the Euro is probably the only one that has spreads tight enough to even think about scalping. Using any kind of indicators seems futile. Being able to read momentum and step in front of it is about the only possibility I see but I havent...

Tim has learned the lesson of this generation. Publicity is the key to wealth. Its no different than web sites trying to generate hits.

Does this mean you are not a profitable trader? Why does anyone spend any time here? I dont think it has anything to do with profitability or otherwise. Some people like verbal fisticuffs and some do not and it has nothing to do with how good they are. We all waste time in one way or another...

I traded the eminis for about a year with no success. I switched to forex because it is much cheaper to learn on. So far I dont see much difference between the two. Both are subject to erratic moves caused by news, etc. Both have erratic intraday moves. The advantage for forex, imo, is that you...

I have been using Oanda for a few weeks and am happy with execution and spreads but they need to get on the ball and add some strategies like trailing stops.

Forex is the new kid on the block. We need some forex data feeds with backfill so we can use all the great functions of QT.
