Charts are themselves just a mere visual indication representation of what has happened to price over past time, and where price is right now. Whether or not added technical analysis indicators are placed on a chart. Traders are lucky to break even. ...

Thanks. Basically i suspect that because your MT4 charts broker knows your username and password, they can login to your MT4 and see how the desktop and charts are laid out/set up. Not that it really matters as such as how would they know how you ...

^ Thanks everyone

Good post jedi, completely agree, which means also not trading a financial instrument that can lead to negative balances, and having spoken to a few brokers negative account balances are perhaps more common than many would imagine. The good news is ...

That is not relevant to this discussion. And as i understand it, the price movements you see on a spot forex chart are not really due to human actions, but Automatic computer algorithms. So good look with making any true sense of what these unknown ...

You may have a point. But there's also a good chance that you are are talking complete B.S. and that the info i have posted is valid and relevant no matter how much you do not want to hear my truths. Also, your toxic putrid abrasive attitude is not ...

In my opinion, any chart based trading strategy using conventional chart indicators like - bollinger bands, MA's, RSI, stochastics etc, which covers the vast majority of trading strategies that people share on forums, is GARBAGE! as they just ...

I agree Nabz here is what i said on my latest thread earlier today - url TA works great with hindsight, so people can post cherry picking screenshots of what they would/should/could have done after the event, but before the outcome was known they ...

url So basically real time (and all computer based) charts are a very recent phenomenon in terms of widespread availability to and use by people. Also there is not a lot of evidence that chart based trading consistently profitably enough is ...

As an example - So from this i am guessing that real time (or any type of computer based download dependable) charts for financial markets did not exist prior to the release of the internet. But still, technical analysis has a long history, and ...

Did computer based real time charts (and all computer based charts that require a data download update, even if only end of day charts) only come into existence around 1992 when the internet was released to the general public?
