slim, you show a slight right-hemisphere dominance with a moderate preference for auditory processing, an unusual and somewhat paradoxical combination of characteristics.

I've held SB accounts with UK-based and regulated SB firms since March 2003. I've been running SB's on indices, commodities, stocks and forex pairs continuously since that date. I generally these days have 10-20 SB's open at any one time (it is 9 open at this minute with 13 orders pending). I have opened and closed thousands of SB's during the years I've been trading. I was not profitable at the start of my SB period but that was very clearly down to me, not to strange practices by the firms concerned (I'd love to say I've always been a trading god and was just diddled out of money by the dastardly firms, but it wouldn't be true, it has not been my EXPERIENCE). I've had accounts with 3 firms, all reputable and responsible, none ever prosecuted or even warned regarding their SB services by the FSA/FCA as far as I know. I've been able to withdraw funds and profits without any issues, I've never seen my stops hunted, I never have issues getting trades opened, closed or stops adjusted. All the stops I've set are respected, except when there's a gap in pricing and I chose not to use a guaranteed stop-loss. I have a 5-figure account and have put 5 figures of profit into the account since November.

{quote} That's OK mate, no problems here. I hesitate to recommend a particular firm unless you're already committed to spreadbetting. What I would do is not necessarily what you would do, but assuming you're in the UK, go for a UK-based and FCA-regulated company. Look for separation of client funds from the company's operating capital, look for membership of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme to protect your account up to £85,000in the event of the firm going under. After that, demo with them to learn how their platform works, especially...
Sadly this is the nature of trading forums, I hadn’t looked in here for ages, hadn’t posted in years, gave up my original membership and then rejoined in 2012. Gave up on it again as I became alarmed by the armies of chancers, charlatans and frauds trying to peddle their wares, or use sophist nonsense to try and gain an audience, to peel off members to join their lame services. Nothing has changed, every theme gets derailed, still only a handful of guys who are clued up, who actually get it, the rest of these discussions are just pointless. There’s...
So if you think that SB firms are a bad thing for misleading their customers with great promises which they then can't back up, why don't you think its a bad thing when you make great promises but you can't back them up either?
Actually need to know the details regarding SB firms
I was evaluating a system- a dashboard here on FF that deals with strength trade-seems good it looks to take profit of 10% of the atr/adr and the stop loss is 40% of the same. The thing is that the take profit is most times hit before even thinking about a stop-loss. but when the stop-loss is hit, there has to be 4 winning trades in that same session to cover for one loss.
At one point -25 years ago- concert violinists had the highest suicide rate of any occupation (not sure if that's still the case). There weren't nearly as many retail traders around back then, but the two pursuits largely parallel each other. 8-10-12 hours per day practicing, having to push yourself because no one else will do it; making the phrase, "I can't, I have to practice" your standard response whenever someone wants to make plans with you; having to be painfully self-critical and man-up each and every mistake; having dreams and aspirations of a level of success and eventually having to settle for something less; deciding at some point you're going to do 'the responsible thing' and get a real job and 'continue doing it on the side'.
I was busy this last w/e and this thread has exploded!
Anyway, many thanks to James for starting a great thread.
I have some catching up to do and so I hope you don't mind some belated questions.
How can I tell the difference between a double bar low higher close which indicates the price is going up and a double bar low (higher close) trend breakout and where would you set the entry point as you say in one of your posts to "play the retracement".
