I had two cases of stop loss triggering during price spike but they made refunds for them. It's great that they are able to admit their faults (faults of their LP) and make proper compensation. And yes their withdrawals are fast.

They either make the market for you or hedge trades of their clients with another market maker (liquidity provider). This is how it basically works. I don't care if FCA broker runs MM against me because they are properly audited.

Sounds like a nonsense. What do you mean by mental stop-losses? Cutting losses according to situation? Non-system approach has one downside - it gains zero experience for you.

Agree, losses are integral part of trading by making mistakes you extract valuable lessons from the market. But it is important to learn how to decipher them and apply in future trading.

Why, I don't think so. With enough volatility in an instrument you will be able to make decent money. Take for example, 2-3% daily move in some instrument and 10K equity..Full amount bet will result 200-300 USD intraday gain. Isn't it enough for ya?

It doesn't help to avoid but it does help you to control its impact on your trading capital. I always trade with stop loss because in the long-run it helps you to stay afloat.

As far as I know Hotforex offers segregated accounts for clients. Basically it is protection against broker insolvency.

If you want slow death choose 1:50 and 1:30, as a bonus you will get protection from FCA in bankruptcy of a broker. Personally I use 1:30 leverage on Pro account with Tickmill

Risk per trade is better than risk per month, imo. The second option "lacks strictness", knowing you are allowed to lose no more than 1% in a month you may do that in a single trade trading NFP with bonus and high leverage or do it gradually . ...

Nice, is it available in the form of EA? I think demo tests will quickly reveal the part where it faults.

I think it is relatively rare to see slippage which exceeds 20-25 pips in majors (liquid pairs), 30-50 in cross pairs, 20-30 in Gold.

It may sound dumb, but forex is risky because you wittingly take risk. If you choose to trade without leverage and pick currency pair as the trading instrument, there is zero probability for you to lose, because what you do is simply exchange your ...

IB, Tickmill Hotforex. Although it took me some time and money to discover a trading edge with these brokers. Brokers do differ but their differences are subtle!

Useless claim. To estimate performance it's much better to "normalise performance" by taking relative returns. I think less than 5% make 100% return a year. I should also note that performance does depend on a broker and quality of platform. For ...

Yeah, it depends a lot from background. If you had previous experience in finance, degree in math or economics then it will be much easier to develop your own trading approach. Decision-making under uncertainty is also very important type of ...

I heard that they had offline business before 2010 and started to offer services online 2011. One of the dinosaurs in the FX industry

Well it depends on on a trader's risk preferences. I also like to trade with low leverage but I know some traders who feel comfortable with 1:500 leverage and use it in full.

Lets also say that risks are also higher in FX it's not a kind of assymetric opportunity compared with investments in live sector because risk is lower there (and hence lower returns). To make 10% in FX you have to prepare that you can lose money ...

I trade stocks with my local broker and I don't use leverage at all. I should say that ability to weather any drawdown almost ensures that you will eventually be in green because there is only one long-term trend in stocks and it is bullish . ...

Do you mean this one url ? You can open account to claim it but note that it's not available for some countries.
