I have 3-4 spreads, sometimes it's 1-2, I have no problem in big reports, and also I can close any order @ any price, and place an order buy/sell @ any price, and the limit order as well, no restrictions

Avoiding Failure's Pitfalls

It is a pretty well accepted fact of life that the vast majority of those who trade currencies on a retail basis ultimately end up losing every penny they put into it. In fact, the CEO of one well known Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) has stated publicly that he would be surprised if 15% of traders end up being profitable. So what do the 15% know that sets them apart from their counterparts?

Successful traders aren't dreamers. They set realistic, attainable and measurable goals.

Successful traders manage their money. They never risk more than 5% of their account balance on any given trade.

Successful traders do not allow themselves to be sidetracked by their emotions. They don't obsess about their losses because they know controlled losses are part of the game. Neither do they get overly excited when a series of trades goes their way.

Successful traders never allow themselves to become complacent. They see learning as an on-going process.

Successful traders are patient. They realize that the big money isn't made in the buying and selling. It's made in the waiting.
If I Go Broke Trying Then I Will die happy.

Yeah
in short: patience, discipline, rules, money management, and most of all treat it as a business with plan and so on.

I don't have problem with FXCM, they are trying to improve, + no dealing desk, and low spreads specially during big reports, their only problem is the customer service reps on chatting, they need to improve their customer service skills, but rather than that I'm comfortable, besides that they have an easy and friendly secured platform + news and charts

Hey Pino,

I recently went live, August was a bad month to start.

Anyway, I use FXCM also. I was wondering how reliable you find the technical analysis in DailyFX Plus.

Any info would be helpful.

Thank you.
