Has anybody looked at using harmonic patterns to sharpen TDI and vice-versa? Generally the harmonics will give you a potential reversal zone (PRZ) where a reversal might be expected. Then you have to wait for a breakout from the PRZ to take your ...

Time to ride the beast?

When you say long term, are you talking daily? Looks to me like there are some rather nice super-long term longs setting up in EURAUD and USDCAD in that timeframe.

When you place the new pending order, you can right click on it to modify it & place an expiration time for the start of the new bar. Then, if it doesn't execute it will cancel as it should. Pendings are only good for the following bar.

Luvene: The Swiss Army EA will allow you to implement a breakeven stop when a certain number of pips have been achieved (parameter). Heck, it even has a feature to figure in commissions so it's a true breakeven stop. It does trailing stops also, ...

A great deal of loose, misinformed talk about "finfx breaking the law...", etc., etc. Two things to realize about this law. 1) It is totally on the broker. US residents (it's based on residency not citizenship) face no sanctions as a result of ...

One hellaciously fine EA — Just came upon this rather large blog & took a look at the ea. I don't know whether it really works, but anecdote & backtest say it does. I do have to say, having looked into the parameters, etc, this ea is about the ...

possible to earn a living trading — But not with $40K in my opinion. I'd want to do it from a position of $100K with $100K in reserve (e.g., bank account or even better in precious metals given that currencies are a disaster) to mitigate the ...

My priorities would be : 1) an insurance scheme (FSA gives you 50K GBP per account === it's not huge, but it's something) 2) a client fund account at a good bank *segregated* from broker operating funds. #1 is best. #2 is pretty good. Unfortunately, ...

>Who is making money consistently trading Forex?< Well, I do. But not with IBFX. I quit IBFX long ago when they started jacking up spreads in the asian session. Not during news or rollover, or anything in particular. But you'd just find your spreads ...

Check out Donnaforex's forum under brokers. There's a big discussion of them and Nord there. You might also check out some of the Australian brokers other than Go. I am partial to Australian brokers, in part, because of the segregated accounts you ...

Situation with foreign brokers — It's become a can of worms after CFTC. It's not illegal for an american to trade with one, but as has been pointed out the memorandum of understanding with foreign regulators may or may not make the foreign ...

Trading methods work fine — Consistent money-earners. Spikes actually tend to help me. Don't mind them at all.

Don't bother with any US broker — None of them are worth more than a warm barrel of piss. I've traded with most of them & experienced their mendacity first hand. IBFX is awful. But then again so are alpari-us, fxcm, fxdd,... Different reasons ...

Wrong as regards gomarkets. They won't trade with existing clients as of 10/19/2010. And that goes for any broker in Australia. ASIC signed a "memorandum of understanding" with the CFTC. Other regulators have as well. Dukascopy, Mig, etc. are banks ...

Try GoMarkets in Australia. They offer up to 500:1 and have taken the position they are regulated by ASIC, not CFTC and will continue serving clients as before. I also had a chat with MigBank (Switzerland) and they are not changing things one bit in ...

Probably a good idea to remove IRA funds anyway. Government moving toward confiscating those. First step is to coerce IRA funds into the "safety" of US Treasuries. They need somebody to buy them after the Japanese and Chinese wise up. Eventually ...

To me the answer is straightforward. I have a Roth IRA at Gain Capital UK. At least so far, I've not been told I have to bring it back. If that happens, I withdraw the money, eat the 10% penalty (which would be completely covered by my recent ...

WOW!!! — NFA stock just went up 2 points in my book. This is what the NFA *should* be doing for the sake of retail clients. At least they're doing something other than simply making life difficult with their "no hedging", FIFO, and the like. ...

You were no doubt talking with IBFX about their new Australia division & finding out they were not the answer to your problems. Well, I've traded with IBFX, and still have a tiny account with them I don't use. They have much deeper problems than ...
