I may be misreading your post, so apologies in advance but DIB is the IBH/L + IB range which also is 200% IB. If the IB high was 15, and low was 10, the IB range would be 5. Double the IB would be a range of 10, which would be added from the initial ...

Justin replied quite specifically to you. So either contact Justin or MBT support and get the issue resolved, or stop with the vague "there is a problem and it's MBT's fault and they haven't fixed it yet!" bullshit.

I'm with Custos. You say you are trading a very conservative approach, let's say for example's sake you are risking 0.5% per trade buying 5 lots. Would it be crazy to double your risk (again, this is just an example-- not saying you need to actually ...

At what point would you increase your stake size?

I guess there may be different definitions or types of overtrading, but imo 'revenge trading' (trying to quickly make up for a loss) can be a good tool for learning to accept losses for what they are and move on instead of trying to get back at the ...

Is overtrading a necessary stage?

What does IN stand for? Thanks.

mdiz2, I don't use MT4 so I can't specifically comment on that platform, but I know that when I hit a deadzone / lose my connection briefly, there will be small gaps on Desktop Pro. Is it possible you are losing your connection intermittently and ...

I think (at least with regards to the EURUSD) the high volatility we haven't seen in six or seven months combined with this being such a strong correction / reversal / whatever you want to call it is throwing off a lot of newer or younger traders. ...

That looks pretty decent. You're already doing more than I do with this information. On Sundays I review the previous week's trades just based on entry + exit alone. Only trade one pair mostly, keep position size usually the same, and the times and ...

reviewing trades?

Yes! Sent.

Hedging costs you double margin, it does not save you anything (you have two open positions using margin instead of being flat, which is effectively the same thing as hedged). It will also cost you some swap if you hold overnight. Theoretically the ...

whats with this "hedging" thing??

Without saying any of the usuals, by far the biggest obstacle to my trading is my job. I work standard business hours on the east coast (US), and I like to trade from 2AM to anywhere up to 6AM, having to get up for work at 7AM. I put on trades at ...

The obstacles to trading

I trade the FO/LO to about 6AM east coast time (US), shortest trades are 5-15 minutes and looking back over the last 3 months the longest trade I held was from the open of 'my' session to the close, on the dot each way, four hours exactly.

You don't have to be flat. You can use different lot sizes. Not trying to pick on you here, just trying to educate because this is an issue some people have trouble understanding. Here's one last example that is similar to what you are saying, and ...

basic numbers for the sake of simplicity... (1) buy long @ 1.4 ($1 commission) (2) close long @ 1.6 ($1) (3) buy long @ 1.4 after retracement ($1) (4) close long @ 1.6 ($1) hedging (1) buy long @ 1.4 ($1) (2) sell short @ 1.6 ($1) (3) close short @ ...

Unfortunately I've seen this debate play out too many times here in the past two years-- hedgers are pretty stubborn about this issue, and no matter how many times you explain that anything that is done with hedging can be done the exact same way by ...

My response was more a general post re: working with your broker to figure out if there (a) is a legitimate problem and (b) how to get it fixed. I'm glad you've messaged MBT to figure out what the problem is, that is exactly how it should be ...

I'm not talking about rollover, which is an obvious issue that no one is disputing is there and should be reduced as much as possible, more talking about these phantom one minute + executions, crazy slippage, etc. that people complain about but ...

Past market behavior does not necessarily dictate future market behavior, but it does provide insight into where, when, and how market activity/transactions took place, which in turn certainly can and does impact future market behavior.

The nature of the market

I'm not disputing there's a problem, but when you've got a number of traders who have not experienced the problem to the extent you say you have, over the course of hundreds or thousands of trades, it's difficult to just accept that there is in fact ...
