email the guys at cashbackforex.com they used to do MB Trading and I think they will do it if you ask them but its not listed on their website. They are legit and pay me every month.

Good post. It makes sense. I think most people who have beef with this rule are on Metatrader which was designed to make traders think trading is 'easy'.

Is it true that NFA membership is not required for US spot forex brokers and is only optional? If so, why are US brokers still supporting the NFA after they are costing them thousands of customers?

Hey I have tried to do this several times and have spent days looking at tick data and spreadsheets. I would be happy to discuss with you in more detail. I will send you a PM.

I have been an IBFX client for 3 years. I am ready to move my account if they can not fix this ASAP. I understand the no hedging, but, not being able to place opposing stop orders will kill my trading system.

Just got the email from IBFX. Thanks for the whole 3 weeks of notice! Time to start re-writing expert advisor code....

These "problems" should only hurt you if you are scalping or trading with very tight stops and limits. If you are trading this way, you should not be using MT4.

I got a phone call from someone at Velocity who basically told me he knew I was a CMC US customer and wanted to know if I would open an account with them. He also said he was a former CMC employee. I wonder if CMC knows their ex-employees took ...

Thanks Guys, I note that Think or Swim does not allow short stock trades with IRA accounts. Is this normal?

Further to my last post, the problem with these breakout systems and backtesting is that you can pretty much optomize it to be profitable for any backtesting time period (in your example, the year of 2008). A few years back I had a two year period I ...

Wow, thatnks for backtesting by hand. I know what a pain that is so its well appreciated. I think I have an EA that can backtest this for you. I am sure there are a bunch of free "breakout" type EAs out there that we can find as well. I will post ...

I beleive you could have this type of order automated with an EA or script in Metatrader, however, I think you would still need to have your computer running. A possible solution is to run your trading account through a hosted server. There are some ...

Im not sure how anyone can successfully trade the news anymore. The price is just as likey to spike the opposite way that makes sense. Plus, the spreads have been as high as 30 pips on the major pairs on ECN brokers. OUCH!

Today was another example and REALLY my last day of trading news. Non-farm payroll came out worse then expected, plus huge negative revision and worse unemployment rate. This is like the perfect storm of news trading and under normal market ...

Thanks guys. Glad to hear some people are doing well long term. Gives me hope.

Congrats Snow Man. Please remember that today's markets are creating huge moves, often with little retraces. Therefore grid trading with buy and sell stop orders like you are doing should do well. The problem is, what happens when you have a few ...

So I have to ask after doing this for a few years, is there really a safe, long term way to make money trading forex? I have had great success and also great failures over the past few years. No trading system I have ever seen on a forum or ...

Thats what I am thinking too! The old buy the rumor sell the news trick!
