Anyone from Beirut/Lebanon in here...?
Going to be tranfered to Lebanon and I am worried about the speed of the internet in there.. have been told 1Mb is the max you can get!
Meta 4 is not going to work.
The average internet speed in Lebanon is near the worst in the whole world, check it out:

That does not mean you canīt get some decent speed somewere...
If you have the money you can always get Satellite Internet access
BTW, 1MB SHOULD be enough to trade via MT4....

Problem is not just the speed that is awful but also the constant power cuts during the day.
I might have to rely on you guys for the actual price

Barata...also, I just discovered the issue around having a decent 'latency ping' or not with the particular broker you use. Having a fast web connection wont matter if the situation between you and your broker cant take advantage of it.
You need to 'ping' the ip address of your broker to find out what the speed is. It ideally needs to be at least under 100.
Im no pc wizkid so I may not have all that correct, but I do know from experience that that issue can be a real hassle. Im in Oz and my broker's server is in LA. I dont have a good ping rate with them, but I just dont download any extra data and its ok...only just.

Could anybody comment their thought on this, please. I think this is usefull information.
I use volume spread analysis to trade
Often if swing traders are long term bullish ( professional holders) they will buy on bad news.
Look at a es intraday chart for friday , gdp was 2.4% , less than expected and less than the prior 3% (even though 2,4 % blows away all europe and the uk ) , the bad news down move was bought into .... pros buying at discount expecting higher prices by end of day. Note the ultra high volume on the down move that then caused the market to reverse ... this is called stopping vol . Watch news time in the futures and the reaction to news spikes either up or down .
I have a habit of knowing when news comes out but not over thinking it .... trade your charts and do not even think about news and you cannot go wrong

Brother.. how do I do that?
I'm with IG Index UK
Get the ip address for your broker/MT4 off that list.
Then, in your start menu, go to the 'Run...' thing (?), put 'cmd' and press enter.
At the c:Users/home> prompt, put the ip address you got for your broker off the 'Resource Manager', like this... 'ping xxxxxxxx' then press enter. (if I remember correctly)
Now you will see a readout of stuff. But look at the 'ping' rate.
If its up around the 150 - 250 mark you may need to find another broker that has a smaller 'ping rate'. Ideally its no higher than 100, and even that is high.
But Im doing ok (only just) with no extra data downloaded at a ping rate of 280 or something ridiculous like that. I actually have a demo with a broker that I have a better ping rate with that I put my larger TF charts on. I like my broker coz he has great spreads, so Im trying to make it work.
You can check any of them out till you find the best one for your situation.
Hope thats not too confusing...and helps.
