Thanks for posting this. I missed the "post your pips" thread but that is a huge pet peeve of mine. I have no idea how many pips I made or lost on a given day and don't fracking care. If everyone was forced to trade one lot only pip counts might ...

According to the site you referenced the fomula is [(C-O)+(C-H)+(C-L)] / 2 not (C-O)+(C-L)+(C-H). Might want to update your code.

Thank you Todd. That's kind of you to say.

I didn't know jack about this service so I just googled it. It's $299 a month and you have less than $1000. You asked if this was a good idea or not. Really? What do you think?

I disagree with this statement completely. It may be that your application of trend trading which you used in another market needs some adjustment for Forex.....I don't know. Trend trading in Forex can be extremely successful. In fact, you often see ...

I'm being more than fair. My point is quite simple. All the "feel good" stories in the world will do nothing more than make you "feel good" for a little while. In and of themselves they won't change your trading. The "feel good" mentality is why ...

There. Now you've met one. I don't have anything to sell either. So now you know that I can do it but what does that have to do with you? It doesn't mean you can or that you cannot succeed. Anything dramatically change for you just now?

I don't know why you're thanking people for encouraging your reckless behavior. Here, I'll give you advice and comments that you don't want to hear yet are worth there weight in gold. You lost 28% of your account on one trade. That was ...

Hang on now. You're a Spartan. That should go in the disclaimer column as well. Just messing with ya. Big U of M fan here but my wife does work at Michigan State.

Also very useful and appropriate.

Does your charting package include an indicator called "ATR"? Most do. That's average true range. Common settings are 14 or 22 (14 I believe is the most common, could be wrong). Plot it. There you go. 14 period is currently at about 301 pips.

You are correct that live trading and demo trading are not the same thing. However, if someone cannot trade a demo account successfully for a reasonable period of time then they cannot expect to trade a live account successfully. It's not just a ...

LOL. Great Job. Some of those are really, really good.

In my book, Kathy's stock went up a couple of points because she was willing to answer some skepticism in a professional thought out manner. Tradermaji's stock also went up because he was willing to ask the question. Skepticism should be the default ...

Huh? As for which? I use candlesticks. Easier for me to see bull of bear more quickly.
