Millions of people take part in forum flame wars daily and opinions are rarely if ever changed. It always ends in a stale mate or escalating to the point at which a moderator bans all involved. I agree that in real life a rational argument put to a ...

I agree, do not start the cliched forum flame war. Pipmutt does not agree that the rules are counter productive....... but who cares what he thinks. The fact is the majority of us do think 10:1 enforced leverage is counter productive. So instead of ...

Thanks pip seeker! We're picking up steam. 45 sigs and counting. Come on guys do your part and show the CFTC that we will not stand for their BS tyrannical rules. It takes 2 seconds to throw your name into the petition.

Thanks man lets get some more sigs up guys.

You can't help? Not to be rude but why not? All you do is put your name and email into the petition form and you're done. You do not even have to put your real email if you're afraid of spam.

To start with: 1. All US brokers under CFTC regulation should be required to explain in detail (and in a simple manner) what leverage is and the potential downsides. This currently does not happen and leads to droves of newbies Googling 'leverage' ...

PipMutt my account is quite large and I still trade with 100:1 leverage simply because I always have. It is what I have used for over 5 years, it is what I am comfortable with. I tried 10:1 and I simply did not like it. The new proposed rules ...

My charts don't gap. Either way who am I (or any of us) to say anything about your method? If it makes you pips then fantastic, keep trading it until it stops making pips or you're ready to retire, whichever comes first.

I always give that same advice "don't follow the pack". From that aspect you're right, give it a shot and see how it turns out! Personally I do not trade with the pack..... I hate indicator based systems and indicators in general. I trade price ...

What works long term in Forex? Most people would suggest indicator based systems. Look at the trading systems section it full of them. From simple MA based systems to systems with so many indicators you can barely see the charts. Do you want to know ...

Just because it looks simple to trade when you scroll back on your charts it does not make it simple to trade live! The more time you spend trading the more you will understand this. Here is an example..... Throw a 5sma and a a 35ema on a 1hr ...

I am a professional trader, I know several other professionals and I have been trading about 5 years. I have to say I have never met a profitable trader who trades anything under a 1min chart. Come to think of it I rarley meet any profitable traders ...

One of the most important rules I ever put to action in my own trading kills losing streaks. Had I not stringently stuck to this rule I truly believe I would not still be trading today. If I lose 3 trades in a row I STEP AWAY from my charts. I take ...

It really depends on the trader. Some people never make it, 5 years later they're still breaking even. The thing is most newbie trader do not realize it take commitment and dedication to become a trader. They give up because they don't make a ...
