Sam is (or was last time I heard) one of the Online Trading Academy's lead instructors, and therefore, his full training is available from them. However, if you Google "Sam Seiden" "supply and demand" you should find a number of free articles he ...

Thanks tdion - that was my initial impression. Many appear to involve some kind of averaging down of losses combined with 'if I keep trading I have to win', with account-busting increasing losses a distinct possibility. Max

IB's minimum is $10K (I just funded an account) unless you're day trading US stocks, in which case they require the usual $25K. You can trade all instrument classes in one IB account providing your trading platform can handle it, unlike say ...

Thanks Kenz987. I particularly like Ninja Trader's ATM system (multi level exit OCO style orders plus auto stop to breakeven etc with a few clicks), its clear clean chart trading plus SuperDom button panel to manage those orders (e.g. you can jump ...

Sorry, I found this on their site: ...and misread it to mean that accounts are only available to US citizens - thanks. I hope their W-8 form is online like IB's - for most non US citizens, just a few seconds to fill in. I see Advantage also offers ...

Thanks guys - I guess there's also the issue of converting non base funds at the best market price so e.g. it may be better to convert USD 20K on IDEAL to GBP at a 4 pip spread when it looks like GBPUSD is at a low, than waiting till you have USD ...

Kenz 987, I just looked at NT Support, there are some problems - I expect that with any major software revision at any time (which is why I usually use old software), but someone else posted here that NT 6.5 doesn't work so well with IB, and 7 is ...

Interactive Brokers - how best to handle misc. currencies? — I'd appreciate some advice from traders with Interactive Brokers accounts. I gather IB doesn't automatically rebalance misc. non base currency amounts other than <$5. So, say I trade ...

Yes, that's what I was trying to say . Also, I've seen people recommend calculating the maximum risk amount for each trade from the beginning trading capital each month, rather than the total capital available at that moment. I don't ...

Dhb - While I see your general point (and I've been considering employing this scheme myself), I have a quibble on the math. If you have 100K, retain 75K in the bank, put 25K in a trading account, and want to risk 1% overall (ie max acceptable ...

Taub - I believe some MT4 'Expert Advisor' add-ons hold the orders on your PC rather than the broker trade servers. You'll see MT4 add-on adverts which say 'Hide your stops from your broker' - well, that's done by keeping the stop on your PC - so, ...

TraderJF - do IB react negatively if you're obviously making money news trading? I have a news trading setup that uses specialist 3rd party software to fire e.g. a Ninja Trader (or MT4 with an EA) OCO order to manage the trade. A 'no trade' doesn't ...

I put a Support ticket into TS nearly a week ago (as a funded futures account client) asking who the liquidity provider is for the new TradeStation Forex system, and whether they're making their own market or using someone else's - no response - ...
