If you want a discount broker, then AMP Futures is worth a look. Low minimum account deposit. Low day margin rates. No charge for some platforms. I'm happy with them.

Not trading without charts yet, but have been watching the DOM ladder on currency futures for a while and am starting to see that one could trade just using the depth of market ladder. I did have a DOM ladder with LMAX, but it was very hard to read ...

Still the most inspiring thread on FF.

Back to the original, thought provoking, question of the thread.... Maybe it is the Futures fix price... "CME Group has rationalized its FX fixing price methodology for both the 9:00 a.m. European-style and 2:00 p.m. American-style fixings......" ...

Ok ... Maybe I should have said there is no fixed spread in futures. here is a screen capture of micro gold right now... image Since micro gold is not very active, there is presently a "spread". My bad.

There is no spread on futures. Plenty of volume on the Emini of course, but not very much on the micro gold. The full size gold contract has a pretty high margin requirement. While there is not much volume on the micro gold (Dec contract has the ...

Does anyone have a copy of 123PatternsV6 that fully works on the currant MT4 builds ??? Thanks.

I sat down this morning to review this system on last nights AUD/USD London open to NY open. I've labled red vertical lines on all points where the 2 indicators pointed to a possible trade. Then looked at price to see it a trade whould have been ...

Thanks for posting this system. I've been watching it on a few pairs, and find AUD/USD seems to be the best I've tried. Plenty of profitable signals. Three in the last hour... image Definately worth while testing.

The Aussie has already done a range of 122 pips today, so probability is on the side of it not going any higher, but these days - who knows? Like you, I'm favouring the short side - maybe back near to the daily pivot around 7167, but my account has ...

If you want something simple then try searching for "ALF" by Lou G. There is also a very interesting thread on using ALF for 1min scalping the EU. It gives a very clean looking screen, but packs a lot of information. ALF + IT candles.

What a great thread!. Truly inspiring. In all seriousness, it really has improved my trading results. Just added some focus to why I was trading, and gave a real incentive to trade well. I no longer just dream of charts and trades - now I dream of ...

[quote=mrdetermined; And be able to sleep at night knowing that your position is closed that very same day. quote] I have found that this one fact is the most important for me. Not having the urge to check the charts when you can't sleep at night. ...

Through my web interface, I can only trade mini's and up (0.1). Through the LMAX phone app, I can trade micros! I sometimes see my orders filled in .01 steps, so someone is trading micros on LMAX, even though I thought that originally mini was the ...

Just want to say "Many Thanks" for this great program. I've had version 7 on my charts for years (just upgraded), and now it's just a part of my normal chart background. Love the large price display. Use the ATR and pips-from-open all the time. ...

Right now, I'm not too sure. There have been some unannounced changes to the platform that are still not right. A real pity, because they had a great platform and great rates. At least LMAX holds my funds, so there is no issue there.

I see this post has been up for 18 hours so far, and I am only the second one to say how good it is. Maybe if it was about the settings of an MA or Fib tool, it would have pages of replies by now. Instead it's a post that cuts to the core of Forex, ...

Anyone, other than me, still with Fastbrokers? If so, how are you finding the "new" platform.

Have a look at the book "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. It is not a book about trading and yet it has a lot of the information you need to know to become a good trader. It explains how the parts of the mind work, and allows you to see ...

Just a quick question.... Are you trading these on FX via CFD's or directly on Futures? Thanks.
