Well, the broker standard is to provide floating spreads, it's unusual to provide fixed spread. I won't single out any broker but any of the brokers listed in the broker thread would have floating spreads with demo accounts where you can try out the ...

Need explanation about volatility

Hold on, if your broker feeds you fixed spread prices, the spread monitor will become flat, as the spread is fixed, so to use it properly you'll need to apply it to an account without fixed spreads.

Need explanation about volatility

Hi Vaidass, I'm sorry but I don't think the word 'violency' exists in trading, a google search of the term with forex only shows up this thread. Here is a spread monitor you can use to see when spreads are widening. If you want a volatility ...

Need explanation about volatility

Depending on the market, a single person or institution can indeed move the market price. There's this guy in Europe nicknamed 'The Flipper', he got that nickname because he scalped the Euro markets with very large positions flipping direction, ...

My theory about forex market

And what is a 'reasonable level'? Averaged out per day, is it 1% a day account growth? 2%...0.5%...0.1%...0.01%?

What is your weekly return?

Howdy there, That right there is the CMC Markets CFD trading platform, it's likely you have seen that indicator before...it's just the MACD. Because they've made their own trading platform, they coded in the MACD themselves and gave it colors for ...

Has anyone seen this indicator?

Has anyone even tried to make an EA that would aim for this?

i want only 1 pip everyday

The whole fear about the Martingale approach is the "Death Trade", where enough consecutive losses have mounted up to a trade size that requires more dough than your account has. With that said, I wonder just how many consecutive losses do traders ...

Does the martingale system really work?

I'd be interested in seeing if we could make an EA that tries to accomplish this 1pip a day/average per day idea. With the amount of volatility or 'noise' in the market, I'm sure that at least at key times of the trading day that this idea may just ...

I know a guy who knows a guy... He opened a demo account and didn't want to put his real name and address, while thinking what to put down he looked out his window and noticed the Wendy's ice cream store down the road. So he typed down as his name ...

The TrendMode changes back to 0 as that is the default setting. I went into the code and saw it was done professionally so I really don't want to touch it and send it back to you even with edit notes on it and I say you should remove it from the ...

Demo or live doesn't matter, are you making and compounding pips consistently?

20% per month. Is this possible?

Are those office workers fiddling around with client trades and taking the other side? If not, well a broker must have some guys watching terminals, what would you expect?

Exactly, win rates lower than 50% require some adjustment of tp sl or mm to win out.

Is it true that anyone can succeed using any strategy?

I think the issue is rather a lack of clarification on what an 'edge' means and then assumptions around it, because that's what I first addressed, someone said you need an edge plus mm, then mentioned that a 20-30% winning system can win over the ...

Is it true that anyone can succeed using any strategy?

I must say I don't quite understand your position on the topic. You say to win in the long run you need an 'edge' and money management, in terms of winning signals, what 'edge' is there if a system spouts less than 50% winning signals? The 'edge' of ...

Is it true that anyone can succeed using any strategy?

1 - To appease you I should have worded it as 'specific rules and proficiency of application of money management', as MM in itself is vague. 2 - I never said a system needs a win% over 50% to be successful. I was speaking to someone who thinks that ...

Is it true that anyone can succeed using any strategy?

So what you mean to say is that in 'your' testing, you haven't been able to make it work. So that a hypothetical 50/50 coin toss with money management rules that 'you' utilize, cannot out do a 20-30% winning system you've used...don't make much ...
