I don't use MT4 either. A lot of my trading is automated. I am playing manually to get a feel for some things I am planning to try out.

From what I have been told.. all accounts have the same metals spreads... so if you should wish to have that additional control trading singles, no doubt your rep can switch your metal min trade size and or if your broker is white labeling with FXCM they can get it done.

Thanks...

Will look into it.

I have the same spread and can close partials in multiples of 10 as opposed to singles.

Still getting a feel for trading Gold, saw a good opportunity to move away from EU and cash in on election jitters but consistency is more important to me.

I add to my trades as they evolve and so.. its lots more comfy to add a couple a number of times than 50 once or twice. With the leverage we have and to me.. it feels like gold beats them all (of course you need to respect it) consistent trading allows for compounding... or at least much more comfortable compounding and for me that't the draw.

I was setup correctly for trading stocks and I could go as high as 15 or 20 to 1... but does not compare to this world. 8 to 10 bucks per oz of gold or .15 to .20 an oz for silver... unreal.

You are right.

I dabbled in stocks initially but traded currencies almost exclusively for 14 years.

I have been trying to do less for more all along (compounding)

In the perfect world it would be nice if I can do nothing for everything but the beerfund is at risk of default/downgrade a lot of times

Election clear, now we can move.

Watch out for the fiscalcliffmongers to start cry wolf as soon as US wake today. Whatever the case.

All key markets completed retraces/pullbacks including euro (and dollar). Plenty of trading opps across the board if you are not already in for the continuation moves. In the Euro, TA 1.284x and FA tomorrow ECB for momentum. On the other markets all ready ...

break this high and 2894 is the baby target. usdx at that time may have those 9 pips. and since 2894.5 is a mid it may stop there to the pip.. at least st.. brokers vary
it didn't make it..void... i missed my short.. at least for now.
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can
