There's no reason not to open more than one account (or sub-account) and trade long term trend while leaving yourself some room to have fun scratching for instant riches and bonus pips...

The atoms in my body vibrate randomly in three dimensions, but I still seem fairly coherent (most of the time). The fact that there are elements of randomness in something, at some level, does not imply that there is not a higher order of ...

People making millions of dollars aren't often shooting the shit in the forums... I guess that reveals my income level.

You know, I didn't really take you on directly, but if you want to try to claim that I don't get it, perhaps I should. The "rumours" that fly around are that your broker is out to get you and the note you've posted is something you appear to see as ...

Can I change my mind and suggest an "easier" alternative... How about making functions to do whatever actions you want. Then simply pass the magic number to whatever function you want to call?

Ah, now I understand your point. If you are right about the issue and it's cause then it sounds like you may end up having to write custom indicators...

Kurka, why do you need to select all three at once? You can identify them, you can gather up their order numbers into a list, and you can pass that list around to have them acted on in some way. At some point a program is going to act on them one at ...

I've had luck tracking the time... in pseudo code: if ( lastopen <> Time[0] ) { lastopen = Time[0]; ... // open your position }

Use the middle price in your calculations? Maybe something like... myPrice = (Bid + Ask) / 2.0;
- gvroom replied Dec 30, 2008
Yeah. More explicitly, loop through them... changing the ??? to a test for your magic number, your currency pair and your long or short positions: orderqty=OrdersTotal(); for(order=0; order<orderqty ;order++) { OrderSelect(order, SELECT_BY_POS, ...

Umm, does this mean you'll be trading from the loony bin?

I wouldn't think of it like a bank account! However, now that I "seem" to be a profitable trader I have a long term goal of accumulating a decent amount of capital and eventually migrating to full time trading status. At the same time, if I continue ...

FFS, I can't believe this garbage is being brought back to life. It's like one of those great myths that will just never die. Being a "counterparty" is not in itself a problem. You are trading through your broker, so they take your trade, then they ...

I'm a little less convinced that there is an ability to classify which schemes are better than others in a concrete way. By all means, whatever methodology suits you is the way to go, but different people will find success in varying ways. Be wary ...

Microwaves, toaster and televisions. 99% of the population shouldn't be using these things either... not to mention computers!

That's why I don't bother paying any attention to the speedometer in my car...

Have you opened/traded a demo account yet? It usually takes time to develop both the understanding and discipline required to successfully trade a strategy. Do you plan to stare at the computer all day trading? How do you react to missing an ...

LOL. I don't trade stocks. However, as Forex traders I don't see how we can be upset at somebody who suggests buying and selling a lot as conditions change. He talks about things that are affecting market moods... investor psychology, behavior of ...

Indicators are perfect... as they are simply math. However, they are called indicators instead of predictors for a reason... As for fighting over Fundamentals vs Technicals... don't waste your time. Major news events adjust the viewpoints of traders ...

There is a lot of buzz about "no indicators" in the forums these days. Does this mean that all the mayflies have been losing money with complex systems of indicators? After these same mayflies lose money without indicators we'll see a return to ...
