MACD, like a 3/9/1 or a 9/21/1, offer a great way to measure the relative momentum and "feedback" of the market. Simply put, when traders are less certain they don't trade as much. And as such fewer trades get placed. That reflects in the momentum ...

Silent Service Method

Oo, I love this topic. As Craig said, remote desktop rocks. Remote desktop is a way to connect to your personal computer remotely. It's somewhat secure and offers some nice flexibility. "RDC" or "remote desktop client" exists in many flavors. My ...

Accessing MT4 at Work

You're right, there have been times where we left the gold standard because it wasn't flexible enough to allow debt. However after the civil war it was expected that the US would again support it's currency with gold by allowing dollar redemption. ...

10 Worst US stock market crashes in the US

Read the fine print on that... Non-US dollar amounts are held outside of the US and not FDIC insured. The depositor insurance offering for the balance ends Dec 31st, 2009.

FDIC and FSA

In the UK "spread betting" isn't taxed as income.

FDIC and FSA

Really? Sweet. What organization handles that? Does the FSA mandate that? Are there any limitations you know of? Do they cover only funds, or do they also insure active trades? Are most UK forex brokers, spread-betting firms, whatever, regulated by ...

FDIC and FSA

Well, the thing is... it doesn't sound like you're that serious. I mean why should someone spend their time trading for you if they're not going to get a reasonably-equal share of the reward? Of course that goes to the bonus. I can see where you'd ...

starting a trading house

Ok, so you're being serious... Profitable system or not, I'm thinking that won't be your big issue. Prop trading firms have very specific methods for everything you've listed, however most of the "here's my system, now trade it" approaches never ...

I'm trying to decide if this thread is a parody or not...

starting a trading house

The FSA is the financial services authority. The FDIC is not an authority, it's merely an insurer. The FSA is more analogous to the SEC. I do not know any of the specifics regarding the FSA or it's depositor insurance offerings. I don't see any ...

The problem with a parody of a parody is that eventually you can't tell if people are joking or not...

AMAZING Strategy!!!

Taking pins against the trend... I'm thinking CW wouldn't.

Silent Service Method

The big boys do not want the little boys getting to become competition. As long as you're just "providing liquidity" they're okay. Cross the line, they don't want you anymore.

Extracted Thread (per thread starter's request)

Laff. Yea, pretty much everyone disagreed with it. And for good reason, too, as it would be detrimental to the industry. That's what happens when you put bureaucrats in charge of a business they don't understand. They become ruled by petty emotion ...

FIA Opposes FINRA’s Proposed Leverage Limitation for Retail Forex

Specific advice is a dangerous thing to give (there's liability issues there), and equally dangerous to ask for online. You cannot know the qualifications of the people giving you the advice, as there's very little accountability. As such, you'd ...

Laff, don't forget decoupling. By then everything will be decoupled, right?

10 Worst US stock market crashes in the US

That's a valid point, but most "PA" isn't as simple as "up = buy, down = sell." Instead most "price action" revolves around certain patterns that go to a deeper psychology. Check clockwork's thread if you want more info.

Extracted Thread (per thread starter's request)

Thing is moving sideways atm. Until we see some range expansion, trades are going to get chopped. With the failure ranging at yesterday's high it's highly likely that today will be a down day. Unless we break above yesterday's high and confirm, I'm ...

Extracted Thread (per thread starter's request)

For me it's been very difficult to make a short term EURUSD trade work off momentum. Sometimes a confirmed breakout pullback works, but mostly it's been playing the range. Fade tails off yesterday's high or low. Has been working very well recently. ...
