It seems that EU traders can now only join a LMAX subsidiary that is registered in Cyprus.

Listen guys, that is not what was asked. OP wants to know what is the next level from ordinary retail trader brokers, but you keep suggesting the same old bucket shops. High leverage, negative balance protection and regulation (they are all ...

Ok, TradeStation has been suggested. What would be other good options for EU-based traders? Are trading costs of futures higher than FX with your average forex broker? How much are the over-night holding fees with futures? Anything else one should ...

I am curious, do you have any real success with picking directions? You problably have a basket of positions going all the time and you add to them as others are closed in profit. But try this: on demo account take 20 positions by making your best ...

Cashbear, care to tell us the broker's name?

We can ditch the idea of "reversing". It already starts to create confusion. I think OP is basically saying that if we find some patterns where trade outcome is systematically skewed from 50/50, then we can trade it profitably.

In case of random moves (no directional bias), you can't. Because there's no way of knowing if the current "trend" will continue. Each new step is, by definition, to a random direction and can be the beginning of a new directional streak to the ...

But the problem is that trend direction can change at any point with equal probability. In other words, trends only exist in retrospective.

Just one more try, then I'm done. "Then it is not LMAX fault, interest rates in currencies are negative in general". No, they are not. And it is their fault that their swaps are expensive. Brokers take interbank rates and add a fixed negative ...

I hate to repeat myself. What they told you at the support does not matter. Sure, they would credit the positive swap for you if they had any. On 17.03.20, out of 28 main currencies they have ONE positive swap instrument. Good luck getting rich with ...

There are no positive swaps with LMAX. You can swing trade with them but you really need to pick your instruments and directions in order to minimize the swap costs. With 50K you can get reasonable trading costs with Swissquote. It's a bank, so the ...

LMAX trading conditions - execution, platform stability and so on, are in my opinion, flawless. If you do daytrading, then they are definitely good. As for swing traders, however, there's the matters of swaps. And in that sense, they are one of the ...

I often find myself mulling over how the business here in FF is run - two pointers to a Davit's thread in a close proximity right here. Let me take a stab at it: lot of FF users are professional or runner-up "internet writers" whose job is to funnel ...

Thank you very much! Yep, I have exactly the same numbers. So their clients are treated equally. What caught my attention was the fact that the short swap points have almost doubled lately. I wonder if it is their doing, or some interbank rates ...

So many cue-words: mentors, EA-s, education, edge and so on.. And not a single equity curve, as requested. Some honest answerers and some red guys waving they di*ks and trying to make a sales pitch. Typical forexfactory.

I have a question. Suppose one makes a deposit with a broker x, trades for 5 years and their account is now 100K or more. Can one expect to get the money from the broker when the time comes to take it all out? I'm sure that people who have accounts ...

I concur. Makes my head hurt. I actually feel insulted by those posts. A "Medium Impact Member" too. What a world..

Than you for this post. There's so much nonsense in forexfactory that your basic, down-to-earth view on the Forex is quite refreshing. You make a great point about central banks. I have had similar thoughts about this matter for a while now. I think ...

What an excellent question OP asks! I have read forexfactory for two years and almost everybody here seem to be amateurs/beginners. Next level is the scammers posing as profitable traders. And then there's few who seem to be "the real thing", but if ...

I tend to agree to markets being close to a random walk. And the times the markets are non-efficient we only see in hindsight.. Is it possible to trade random walk - I don't know but sure would like to know. What about Maxwell's demon? Can our ...
