To me, $80,500 would be quite a bit of money to "accumulate in 13 days of trading". Either your account is enormous or you have made a typing error. A more relevant assessment of your system would be a % return on your capital. Otherwise, the ...

I think slippage exists in every market and I am personally certain it is a real phenomenon that brokers have to account for to make a profit or they will lose money. That being said, I am certain there is an acceptable level of slippage and there ...

To have a "feeling" and deny that it is not affected by emotion is...... simply.... not logical. Watch a classic star trek once in a while. :

GBP/USD was back up to 1.9125 ........ Therefore, Christina must have closed her position. It's like washing your car..... it won't rain until you wash it.

Forex.com is probably just fine, they did send me my money when I switched to Oanda. I switched because Oanda pays interest on my margin (they also charge interest on borrowed money though) and because they allow the trader to choose the exact ...

A losing trade is part of trading. If your analysis tells you the GBPUSD is headed south, why on earth would you cling to a losing trade.? Since you deem 112 pips an unacceptable loss , you either have to tighten your stop losses or decrease the ...

You may have addressed this already. However, in every field including trading, there are very many well educated "posers". People who can talk the talk with anyone, but they never ever walk the walk. How do you propose to correctly verify that your ...

What would make you say that? That is pretty basic trend-following stuff. If the market is trending, many MA systems look pretty darn good.

I think this pair is pretty much range bound now. I am pretty happy watching for a breakout.... either direction to place trade. The market can always go higher. I want to short it on my "gut"..... my "gut" is almost always wrong. So, still waiting ...

Actually, I was just kidding. It only happens to you.

Trade daily charts with a trend following system, something simple like Sidus. Find your setup, follow the rules, place your trade with appropriate stops AND turn the platform OFF. Watching charts tick is hard to stop because you want to succeed ...

Just a wild guess, but full time traders will be involved in multiple markets and additional wealth building strategies. if you fiddle with your account all day long and are a hyper scalper with milli-second charts.... you will need multiple jobs to ...

Oanda is based out of Canada. I have had no problems with them, but I did make sure their credentials were solid before I sent them my meager monies. Also, if I get some weird email about my broker.... I will investigate it. (huge spreads like ...

Toes, eh? each to his own. They will need to brush their teeth with Dr. Scholl's toothpaste to prevent any unfortunate oral infections.

Trade 5 minute charts with micropips until you could vomit from spending so much time at the computer and get the excitement thing/fun element of trading out of your system. When its no longer fun and you are sick of being a slave to the ...

to quote eric cartman, "why if some skanky ol' ho talks to me like that, i will kick her right square in the nuts!"

Unless $400 dollars is an acceptable loss to you. You need to trade smaller lot sizes. i believe you lost 3 trades each with 15 pip stop losses. Trade a micro account and work on defining your edge. I am still working on defining mine. I do question ...

I have been able to substantiate the existence of few correlations that are 100% reliable. However, I can state...... as pure scientific fact........ that 6-12 beers in any male subject will increase the attractiveness of ANY female subject by at ...

If you are trying to pick the exact spot where a trend will reverse on whatever time interval chart and trading it, thank you for your donation to the market. If you are using a 1 hour chart and trade with the trend in a position that is contratrend ...

Time frame on the chart? Is that a 1 hour chart? Thx for any input.
