If anyone is looking for a decent, independent data source, I've been using url for my back-end. The API is straight forward, the only downside I see is there isn't quite as much flexibility in the time intervals. Subscription is reasonable and it ...

You might have better luck: 1. Asking on the MQL forum and, 2. Posting you complete code so those who know the language can properly dbug. Giving CApp just a quick look-see, it's pretty robust, but pretty complex, not sure how many here have dug ...

Interesting you criticize a live account when all you have are demo's, many on MyFxBook that are completely blown up. You asked for enlightenment, I gave you some research to chase, you pivot off the argument and criticize something you apparently ...

I've been short since yesterday, not going to break my heart if it falls into a little bit of hole here. Now if I can just get it to drag the NZDJPY with it. Models are still in gear for some additional sell-off, but I'll have to keep my eye on it, ...

How can someone enlighten you when all you do is repeat your bias and argue your belief without an ounce of proof. You're unwilling to accept any point that contradicts what you hope is correct. Belief systems in trading tend to be like politics and ...

So is betting on horses gambling or something else? You analyze the track, the horse, the jockey and so on and then you wager money based any asymmetry between the odds and what you think the actual outcome should/will be.

Match.com (at least that's been my experience)

Perfect example. Black Jack players are good at understanding when the deck is loaded and especially when and how much to bet.

Yes, absolutely. We are betting money on unknown outcomes. That means there is risk involved and risk is a gamble. A lot of your really successful traders understand this and apply as much game theory as they can to their trading efforts and money ...

Nice! Back in the day I probably would have caught some of that on a breakout or momentum style entry. Now I'm just too lazy to watch the market, lol.

Dollar Review Some of your best trades are the ones you don't take. Last night I had three USD pairs signaling short (AUD, EUR, and NZD). The signal in each of them was really week and the potential for being on the wrong side higher. We were also ...

Closed the USDCAD and NZDJPY, Currently Flat Those two trades ended up in pretty tight negative correlation, with no ground in the account being made as they gyrated around. That is, of course, better than having them lock step burning against me, ...

Currently Short NZDJPY and USDCAD Signal strength is low in both which typically indicates it's going to be a long grind. Going in relatively light so there is room to add in case the timing is completely off. There are also a few other things in ...

Closed USDCHF I've closed the USDCHF, there is some bearish momentum in favor of leaving it open, but I'm also looking at a 4-hour forecast (not terribly reliable) with potential for stalling or a slight reversal, so I'm just gonna call it good for ...

NZDJPY testing the upper oscillator band. It has room to run to the upper trend line if momentum persists. I'd be just as happy to see it push up there before shorting it (may not have the luxury) but I'd feel better as the technical signal strength ...

USDCAD Neutral NZDJPY getting bullish into a short call The USDCAD has fallen off the scan and I'm not surprised, signal strength was really low and there was bearish momentum already in place. The NZDJPY is still signaling short but there is some ...

On a different note, I think (hope), I'm finally starting to get the trading dialed back in. December I drew down around two percent getting the risk model sorted and the first part of January was listless as I focused on intra-day trades. I just ...

Shorted USDCHF @ 0.9969 Last night I shorted the USDCHF around 0.9969, the trade was relatively flat through the early trading and is starting to move against me a little bit here in the early US session. I went in about half the recommended lots as ...
