May I ask why you use Instaforex? For you type of trading (near scalping) the high spread offer by Instaforex is very disadvantage for you trading style, why don't choose a more competitive broker (in term of spread off course)?

Thats entirely for the personal reason relating to deposit and withdrawal options.

Though its not always that i scalp .

But current times demand scalping to be better than position trading.

But i agree with you in terms of spread i prefer oanda .

May be in future , i will shift to some better spread broker ...

Thanks for your concern!

Hi Anup,

Enjoying the updates, always good to see some profitable trading.

Just wanted to ask, have you had any issues with Insta thus far? Or all good? How long do their withdrawals take?

Cheers.

All the best for the forthcoming week.

Thank you Digamma for your nice words.

Only issue i had with insta is when my profits went above $30k - i was put on slow execution , slippage , requotes .No problem with deposits or withdrawals. The withdrawals less than 2k are processed in 24 to 48 hrs . Above 2k within 5 working days.
I am using them for the deposit options they have .
Any broker would do just fine.

Thank you DrPip.
Google price patterns and you would get tons of info.

Its same everywhere .
The basics dont change for patterns --its your own application of those in live trading and based on screenhours that you develop pattern recognition subconsciously and know which ones are high probability ---Practice is must .
Took me over 4 years just to get that in my subconscious.

But FF has far more data than any site with each one sharing patterns -their outcomes and which are high probability and why....

Most profitable traders on FF or anywhere around globe trade basic price patterns .
Look for W , M patterns -double bottom , double top , channels, triangles, wedges , flags ....More than sufficient even if you master one pattern out of it.

Trading profitably comes only when you practice enough to get those things in your subconscious mind and execute . Takes time but once you get it --the time spent gives enough money to cover those ''lost'' learning /practice time.
And i am still NOOB in the market --learning new things each time i trade day in and out...

Thanks for the reply, how many other brokers have you experienced these issues (of requotes/slippage/slow execution) with?

Around 4 .

But not untill you make quicker profits around 250% or above ..Thrice the money deposited ..

Doesnt matter for now .
