Bollocks!

I'm trading MT4 tonight. Both of my open shorts are now closed. Both finished obviously positive, but why are they closed??? I now just have two pending orders above, and WELL above yesterday's high. Sorry...I just prefer Dukascopy. Had decent entries...WTmotherFak?
I am with them from the very beginning, not a single trouble, would recommend to anyone. Swiss quality is swiss quality.

MT4 is shit though, I use it for charting purposes only, I enter my orders directly into JForex, itīs like gazillion times faster than via MT4 (they donīt run it themselves, thereīs some kind of bridge and third party involved, you figure...)

...not mentioning MT4 doesnīt send your orders (incl. PT and SL) to server so you have to keep it running otherwise you are screwed...

what they just closed them like that?
Vanished!

Something has obviously gone wrong. Hate moments like this. Do I really have to call trans-atlantic...or do they just "know"? I've called before, and they just sounded mad at me...they were like...DUH...we know Einstein!

What was that about regulated again, Steamroller?!?

No big woop.

agreed, cheers...demo is not even close to real trading, plenty of noobs come to EU thread after like tripling their demo accounts in a month, full of shit and sassy comments, getting margin call within a week because they canīt control their emotions.

The ultimate truth about this business, imo, is that it doesnīt really matter whatīs your trading system, where you enter and where you exit. Itīs all about money management AND MOST importantly, trading psychology. If you canīt let your winners run cause you are too eager to book your profit or...
could not have said it better my friend...

trading systems dont mean shit if your psychology is not in order... the greatest system in the world is nothing without discipline...

holding out for the good trade and not chasing the retail noise thinking you will miss out is key...

thats what i was thinking as well start small and move up in scale

I never cut any broker any slack, I would be on the phone in seconds, and tell them either give me an answer now, or balance me out, period..

Thank you...come again!

I believe its shaddy, sure, but so is every other broker, at least in some capacity...the best execution I have ever had was when I was still a CME member, directly into the Globex system, or when my firm had direct access to the intrabank market, I used to use deal with banks directly, not all but a few, but it was 10 lots min...I would have to say the best market remains the futures market, cause it does give you the ability to get filled on the bid, or offer from time to time, but if your looking for larger swings, it doesnt matter as much..
