I appreciate the kind words. To make sure it is clear, I have nothing against people who do trade (just the too big to fail banks that are screwing it all up for everyone else). I just came to the conclusion that trading is not for me. I have other ...

It's a lonely journey for those who have reached that certain point. I know the feeling...granted I did just quit trading a few days ago. And no, it wasn't from blowing up, it was from the simple realization that for me trading was a misapplication ...

It's been a long time since I've posted, but I feel that I should post the resolution to all of this. I've since quit trading as of two weeks ago; and let me tell you, I couldn't be happier. As James16 says, unless you've got some serious capital, ...

I hated that girl. The only reason they even gave her a position at FXCM is because the job she got had nothing to do with accuracy or effectiveness. She didn't actually have to put anything on the line, they never expected anything from her, so she ...

Poor poor britsh pound, it got raped yesterday. 1) The violent carry trade unwind sparked off by the algo driven crash, and 2) The market pricing in it's outlook of the new British government after yesterday's elections. PS, to keep to the nature of ...

Well, let's actually try and be helpful shall we? I would give a tip of the hat to Interactive Brokers here in the U.S.. They have all the amenities you are looking for, including funding in AUD. The spreads are usually nice and tight, and the ...

I began the switch today. Got my account paperwork filled out with MBTrading and will hopefully be up and running shortly.

Awesome! Woke up to find that same trade that should've been a +25 was now -69! Looks like it's time to start the broker switch.

Whatever happened to FXSol accepting MT4? Did they get scared off by the idea of automated trading? I've also noticed that 9 out of 10 of my orders are slipping on entry now. Only by 1 pip, maybe 2, but when you have a target only 25 pips away, it's ...

So you don't care about doing things the correct way? Is this part of the pennies thing I keep seeing?

I'm telling you guys, the alumns simply don't care, that's why they don't post. They don't have anything to gain by posting on here, so they don't.
