Hi Seneca: been enjoying your "ramblings" immensely. It's unselfish veteran traders like you that keep bringing me back to FF. Your nuggets of trading wisdom has been golden! Please ignore the doubter, haters, and the disrupters. As in real life, ...

Are you sure about this? I thought this only applied to Alberta residents. I do agree with all your other comments. Oanda, with FIFO rules & low leverage, makes it hard to implement multiple strategies. I hated IB's TWS software, then I found out ...

Hi Jack: Thanks for pointing that out about MF Global and CIPF. I didn't know the details, just remember reading an article about the quick refund to canadian clients, thanks to tight regulations. I hope I'll never need the services of CIPC. *knock ...

Thanks, glad to be here Ramy. Although it feels a little weird since I'm not a client of Pepperstone. Don't want to hijack this thread. Too bad there's not a forum for canuck traders (or is there?). I'm sure there are quite a few of us on FF. Now ...

$50,000? That's not a whole lot. The Canadian agency (CIPF) covers up to 1 million, which should be enough for most traders. This is the same agency that enabled all canadian MB Trading clients get back their full capital within days after MB's ...

That's pretty cool Ramy. I haven't met many (any?) Hungarians here. Good luck with your full time trading endeavor. It ain't easy, but it sure is worth it!

Hi there fellow canucks, came across this forum by chance, and just wanted to say hello. :-) I'm currently not with this broker, although their low spread does intrigue me. On the other hand, I do like the security of going with a canadian firm, ...

Counter point — I'm fine with 50:1 leverage. Anything beyond that is really overkill, and might I say, outright dangerous, for most retail traders with small accounts. However, I disagree with Alberta's income requirements to be a forex ...

pros & cons — bull.bear: I've been with Oanda for several years now. Their server rarely encounters problems such as the one I had this morning. Overall, I would rate their server up time as very good. If you're new to forex, I would ...

back on — Update: everything is back online.

Condolences — Wow, I'm so sorry to hear this. My condolences. Hope you are hanging in there. There are things in life more important than trading. Take your time! We'll still be here when you're ready...

This little piggie went to the market... — Hey bigpig. Love your handle, lol. Very informative thread in less than 3 pages! Like your style, uncluttered, sticks with the basics, with wisdom/experience that's surely borne out of years of ...

blisters on my dancing feet... — Hi all: I've been lurking here for awhile now, just want to say hi to everyone. Have finished reading this looooooooong thread twice. Started my dancing this week. A couple of mild attacks and one rescue so ...

ask yourself a simple question — Hi lolpie: Are you serious about learning how to trade forex? Do you treat it as a business rather than a hobby? Do you like the idea of learning from a highly successful veteran that will personally answer all ...

longer time frames can be profitable as well — Hi Lusan: I'm a member of the Jacko's group. Trading 4h charts (and higher) can be very profitable, especially if you're a trend follower. It does take a lot of patience and have to endure many ...

a good chemist is hard to find — Hi Lusan: Just want to drop you a quick note. Love your journal, very clear and to the point. Yep, your science background certainly shines thru. I started trading about a month after you, so I'm as wet ...

perverse indeed! — Thanks for the explanation, Peter. Some would also add that the fact that I choose to trade at 3 am in the morning (in addition to how I look at this ungodly hour) is also "perverse", but I digress... One last question for ...

DIBS on me! — Hi Peter: Quick question regarding the last chart you posted from May 2nd. On the second add-on trade that turned out to be a winner, there was a bearish bar sandwiched between the inside bar and outside breakout bar. This ...

keep up the good work! — Hi Stevie: First time posting on your thread. Just want to say that even though your style of trading does not suit my personality, I applaud your persistence, discipline and thinking against the grain. The fact that ...
