Still hoping to get a lead on other platforms for trading fx, futures etc. besides Tradestation ( I will never use or recommend those people again). Anyone?

Thanks James and Great Dane. Believe me I've tried many platforms over the years, some pay some free. Hands down the best is MT4. But I'm intrigued with what James has told us about the oil, corn etc. I want to trade them but I'll never go back to Tradestation ( got seriously burnt by them and Gain Capital one year ago). Did the Google search before your post and only came up with the regulars, GFT, CMS, FXCM, but nothing that will trade FX and the futures on the same platform with one broker. North Finance with MT4 does FX, gold, silver and CFD's. That's about the most diverse I've found.

I don't want to clutter up Jim's thread with Borker so, on a related note, would you mind expanding on this statement in this thread?

Jim, I will delete this post upon response or lack thereof.

Quote from article.
In a motion filed with the Bankruptcy Court on June 30, 2006, Refco Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: RFXCQ) said it has proposed to enter an agreement with privately held GAIN Capital Group (GAIN), under which GAIN would acquire the Refco FXA (RFXA) retail customer account information and related assets. The proposed agreement provides RFXA customers with the potential to recover up to 100 percent of their RFXA account balances. The proposed agreement is reflected in a non-binding term sheet that is subject to documentation and Bankruptcy Court approval, among other conditions.

TIA

For US pit-traded ( Some, not all have electronic) commodities & FX futures, you can research on www.foxfutures.com , www.manfinancial.com , www.alaronlasvegas.com , www.expresstrade.com

Different fees & commision structures...depending on selection of fully broker-assisted or discount version.

I have just spent the weekend plus some reading and re-reading this thread. Its really enlightened me. I first started FX about 1 year ago and like most newbies just could'nt wait to get started. First I got a monitor, started reading everything there was and as a result started adding every indicator under the sun onto it.

Believe me not so long I couldn't make a decision, I was hung up on the 15 and 5 min charts with MACD going one way, stocs going another and CCI going another, boy was my head spinning and my account draining.

After reading this tread, looking at the weekly/daily charts and removing all those indicators what did I see....PRICE ACTION...just as you guys in James16 call it.

I believe there's something in all this and I am going to give it a go, so next stop the PF.

Thanks guys

This would be major swing high/low. This is a daily chart, but the same principle would apply to shorter time-frames.
You can see on this chart there is a minor swing change just below the swing high. It just means the point when the price makes a noticeable change from one trend direction to the opposite direction.
Hope this helps
