DislikedDear Mr Leblang, dear all.
I am now comparing MBT and FXCM MT4 plaforms.
On sunday night (London time), I have installed the MBT MT4 platform and launched a demo session. I have at the same time launched the FXCM MT4 platform (demo session as well). When the Tokyo session opened, I could see quotations on the FXCM platform but nothing on the MBT platform while it indicated that I am correctly connected to the demo server! Is it normal? Does MBP skip the Tokyo session?
Moreover, I could not place orders on the MBT platform with the demo...Ignored
DislikedThey could both be winners, they could both be losers either one can win while the other loses.
For example, on a four hour chart you may be long for 4, 24 hour days in a row, meanwhile, you may be taking shorter term trades in the direction of your 4 hr trade by buying dips and selling short term highs.
So why not just but all the capital on the four hour trade?

Dislikedbut during the time you have both trades on you would be flat.....ZERO position.......the exact same position as if you had closed the long. Only you've tied up more margin and still have a risk on both sides. where is the advantage in getting flat while secue=ring only risk at best? why not just get flat?Ignored
DislikedUnfortunately I've seen this debate play out too many times here in the past two years-- hedgers are pretty stubborn about this issue, and no matter how many times you explain that anything that is done with hedging can be done the exact same way by going flat and with less risk, it doesn't matter to them.
Having two open positions when you are trading different time frames is probably easier to keep track of then one position (long term) you close out when you want to take an opposite position (short term). Still doesn't change the fact that...Ignored
Dislikedbasic numbers for the sake of simplicity...
(1) buy long @ 1.4 ($1 commission)
(2) close long @ 1.6 ($1)
(3) buy long @ 1.4 after retracement ($1)
(4) close long @ 1.6 ($1)
hedging
(1) buy long @ 1.4 ($1)
(2) sell short @ 1.6 ($1)
(3) close short @ 1.4 ($1)
(4) close long @ 1.6 ($1)
four transactions, same commission structure, except going into daily rollover you would rather be flat than hedged-- if you are hedged, you WILL be paying more in interest than you make.
But I really don't want to get into a hedging argument,...Ignored
DislikedIf I am in a long-term position on a pair, and want to take a short-term position in the opposite direction to capitalize on a retraction, for example, with my long-term bias still in place, why would I want to pay spread and commission to close my long term position and then to re-open it after I close my short-term position? It amazes me that some folks would want to give away profits like this.Ignored
