Long Term Strategy

I trade the EUR/USD exclusively and have been doing so for about 7-8 months. At the beginning, I was really into all the cool, colorful indicators, however, I have since backed off that and I am more into price action, pin bars, moving averages, and ...

Long Term Strategy

I don't know how long you've been trading, but working with a longer timeframe will typically be better for your schedule and your account balance. The longer timeframe you use, the more well defined the trends become. It has worked very well for me ...

Long Term Strategy

I am assuming (maybe wrognfully) that you use MT4 as I do. I have been experiencing the same problems with my data and backtesting lately. I downloaded the M1 data from alpari and now it won't work after I converted it (it did work for a day or ...

Backtesting problem

I'm just speaking from my experience, but yes, with FXSol you can change the leverage level and lot size anytime you wish after your account is up and running, although I have never done so. andersenws

Leverage Level

Sorry, I forgot to answer your other questions. When I signed up for my account, they did not run a credit check ( as far as I know ). You select the leverage level (and therefore amount of risk) you think you can handle. You also select the lot ...

Leverage Level

Your amount of leverage determines how much margin is required for you to purchase a lot. For example, a 10,000 size lot of EURUSD will take up only $31.94 of your margin with 400:1 leverage. With 50:1 leverage, it will take up $255.57 of your ...

Leverage Level

I didn't think Interbank's demos expired. I will have to check. However, I can still see the live, updating charts for all the other timeframes, so I'm not really sure what's going on. andersenws

Problem with "Waiting for Update"

The largest move I've seen since I started trading was about 200 or so pips. What day did it move 507? andersenws

EURUSD

I started trading live with FXSol about 6 months ago with a $1000 deposit and 200:1 leverage, with 1K units. In my opinion, 400:1 is WAY too much leverage, especially if this is your first live account. Live is much different than Demo. Your ...

Pivot Points

FXSol has some formations programmed in to their GTS Charting Software, but I find them more annoying than helpful. andersenws

Japanese Candlestick software??

I tried to read the rules for this competition but I can't quite find what I'm looking for. I interpret it as saying that we can submit an EA which will have only one currency pair and one time frame to work with. Is this correct? thanks, andersenws

I'm not sure if what bemac said is right about the nesed if's and what not, but I made a formula that should do the job (provided there are unlimited if statements). I attached the txt fle because the formula wasn't working in here. ...

Need help with Microsoft Excel...

Alright, I crunched the numbers and found some things out. First, I use FXSol. I used their daily stats, with each day starting at 5 pm est. I calculated from 8/4/05 to 8/7/06. 263 trading days. Overall stats first. Average range between open and ...

Forex data spreadsheet

If you are interested, I have the daily stats for the EUR/USD in a spreadsheet going back to August 1 of last year. I could either upload that or just tell you the daily range. It might take some work to figure out the best days to buy or sell, but ...
