you have not traded live yet traderathome??????..nooooo way..you are in the top 5% of knowledgeable traders here..how can that be


word of advice...get rid of the "manipulator did this or that obsession" once you start live...act like they dont exist..its just you and the pair and the loss or potential profit you face
