How do you know he doesn't use his card for convenience and pay it off immediately. Or that it isn't a prepaid card? Normally a credit/debit card transfer to Oanda is instantaneous, so some folks would rather fund Oanda with a card, then immediately ...

Peter uses CST (Central) time zone and has his charts set that way--Oanda allows you to use your local time zone. 00:00 Central = 06:00 GMT. When his chart says 02:00, it's actually 08:00 GMT. That's why the discrepancy.

@ hotjoey: I made a few comments on your chart in the other thread. The very first post in this thread illustrates the meaning of "up or down on the day" and when to go long or when to go short. You will get stopped out more often with this method ...

@ Hotjoey: The first three IBs that you marked in red are before the start of the trading day according to the rules and should be ignored. The market tends to chop around during those hours and you WILL get stopped out a lot trading IBs then. You ...

So your track record is a two week old demo account?

True enough. The article was published in the September, 2005 issue of Currency Trader. So beware--the figures are outdated, but the article still illustrates how currencies behave differently.

This is a decent article on "Currency Personalities". url

You can always edit the first post of your own thread. But after you click on edit and the post comes up, you'll only see the body without the title. Then, you need to click on "advanced" (lower right corner). This will allow you to edit the title.

With so many brokers offering micro/nano accounts, why don't you start a small ($50 or $200 or so) live account and compare? You'll get an idea of slippage, requotes, etc, that you may not see on your demo. Even though it wouldn't be much money, ...

If you are trading a full lot and gain 150 pips, how does it come out to $200?

True enough. Another consideration: this will work differently depending on whether or not your broker allows being long and short on the same pair at the same time. If hedging is allowed and you are long one lot and your sell stop is hit, you will ...

So what date did this happen? If your attorneys have already contacted FXDD and FXDD has responded, it must have been at least a few days ago. Can you show us a chart instead of a link to your email?

Finally, a decent product for a fair price.

And if you really want to shove needles in your eyes....that's cool.

Wrong? You mean ozziedave didn't really lose his money with currencytradinglive.com? His money was refunded? Shame on you ozziedave for making up such a story from thin air.

That's about the shape of it--you can either trade profitably or you cannot. You have to be good at it to earn even a small amount consistently. I believe Dopey's point is that it is not easier to earn just a little. You still need the same skills ...

I wish you well. I've read several of your posts and you don't strike me as someone who is easily or quickly convinced of anything--so I'm interested in seeing what you've come up with. All the best.

Since these gurus usually operate exactly as you described, why don't you make up and market an interactive template where the budding guru just fills in a few blanks and his whole blog/website/program is complete? Be sure to market this Template as ...

Madoff's victims thought they were making money--that's why they continued with him. If their statements had shown their accounts dwindling and they suspected fraud, they probably would have tried pulling their money out.

Where did he say that? I only see where he wrote that the spread widened because of the news release, thus taking out his stop. Nothing about a stop-hunt.
