I live in Germany and got a letter today from Omnimgt. I don't fully understand what it's about. I think I was asked to be present in Chicago on 9th of August This probably means, my money is lost, right?

Thanks for the link. I didn't know that the margin requirements are set by the exchange, because I've seen that different brokers have different requirements.

Forex E Micros from CME — Any updates on this one? I have found about those micro futures 5mins ago... shame on me Anybody can share some experience with trading these? And how about margin requirements?

In my opionion, the major advantage of professional traders in financial institutions is: they are being watched. They just cannot overleverage their accounts and they cannot risk more than they are allowed to risk per trade. They just cannot go on ...

MB Trading: url Dukascopy: url FXPRIMUS: url Those are the ones I know, that allow micro lots with ECN accounts.

This is not true. I had already a few months, where I had a negative pip balance, but made profits, though. Also, a friend of mine, who is also trading, has also had a negative pip balance but made profits, though. Make a 50 pips loss with 0,1 lots ...

This is really hard to tell. I don't watch my profit in pips, but only in $ / € or in % profit. Today, I made exactly 60 pips in EURUSD so far. But what does this say to you? Nothing - I've scalped 4 pips with 1,0 lot - I made 47,8 pips with 0,1 ...

I don't have an account at IB and am not familiar with their forex trading solutions. But I know some people (hedge funds, private traders with large accounts) who have 7 to 8 digits accounts at IB for trading futures. So it's a reliable broker. If ...

You can also use MT4 for backtesting with Dukascopy Tickdata. It's just not very easy to set up. But Tickdata is only available up to 04/2007 I think. But better than nothing, and it's free :-) // Edit: Forgot the link: url

To make $600,000 out of only $500, you would need a daily profit of 9.27%. Assuming that you are trading 80 days, 20 days per month, 4 months long. Should you reach $100k after 3 months, you need to make at least ~$9k from that day on. Take a risk ...

It's not only Alpari. Other brokers also offer a bonus deposit. This is not so uncommon... and if you are familiar with online poker, there it is common practice. No broker has money to give away, so it is sure that all losses will be credited to ...

I prefer MT4 since I am very used to. I have my tools that I use for trading and wouldn't want to miss them anymore. What I don't like is that I can have multiple positions in the same currency pair. So 0.50 lot long EURUSD and another 0.50 lot is ...

That is a very good question. I am glad, that I am from Europe and don't have to deal with such restrictions. I have asked about FXPRIMUS in another thread that I started, but it seems, that nobody is trading with them? Any reviews or comments? I am ...

Maybe it is because you're using a 5-digits broker?

I am bearish on cable and am waiting for the support to break. Attached you see the weekly chart and the bearish trendline from middle of July 2008 is still intact. USD shows great strength across all markets and I don't see a trend change at the ...

I am also short on AUDUSD since 0.8825. I will give it some days to develop and hope it will test the 50% fibonacci level. Attached is a screenshot, why I entered the trade - in weekly chart. Don't have the time for daytrading so I switched to ...

ActivTrades is what you might be looking for. Payment via wire transfer takes 2-3 days from Germany, no fees. Withdraw is also very fast - ~7 EUR fee, but taken by the bank, not ActivTrades. Broker is regulated by British laws, bank account is ...

What do you need to be changed? Have it displayed in the same window as the chart - or only as a bar chart not an line chart?
