Jason Rogers, I have an account with FXCM UK. But I am not from the UK and I don't live in the UK. I live in another European country. I haven't got a clear understanding of what the 50 000GBP per client "insurance" entails for me. I wonder whether ...

Please give an update on whether FXCM client funds are PERFECTLY safe or not as of today. Be honest.

ajantala, On the one hand I understand your point. On the other hand I don't see why a good trader wouldn't want be a "DIY fund manager". If you "manage" 10 million USD of clients' money and you make a small percentage off the gains, that is a very ...

Okay, I googled it. Is this the broker you are referring to? url

Which broker is that?

Thanks for your reply charron. I don't know. I have very little experience with ETFs. I don't really understand them (perhaps you could explain). All I want to do is go long on the oil price. I checked out USO, but it doesn't seem to mimic the oil ...

Oil as a buy and hold investment — Okay, What I want to do is open a long position for oil to hold for a multi-year period of time. I know there are various providers who have oil CFDs, like IG Markets and CMC Markets. The thing is I ...

ehm... — Well dont you need a tick to HAVE an opening price for the candle? And sometimes there are gaps, and not just on mt4 presumably?? Correct me if I'm wrong, or correct yourself

Can you provide an example of an FX algorithm then? A formula, what is that.. How would you make a formula for fx. I just dont see it, or how I could go about making an fx algorithm myself, so perhaps you could provide an example? What software.. ...

thanks but.. — I had already seen that article, and didnt feel much wiser from it. I guess what I want to understand is what an algorithm means as it pertains to FOREX. If I have a trading system, can I call that an algorithm? If so why not? ...

"Algorithm" - what exactly is it? — Can someone knowledgeable about this please explain to me what exactly an "algorithm" is?
