Thanks, I'll play around some more.. looks like I'll be putting out a full guide even if I didn't intend to just because I'll be documenting the process this time around in case I mess up the data files again. For now, the trial of the tick data ...

It appears they have launched web trader.. there's a link to it on the main page now: url (look at the very top bar) However, I don't see any announcement yet.. and it's not in their site's navigational menu. There should also be a mobile and ...

err.. are you asking because you want the broker to restrict your leverage? (like, protect you from using higher leverage if it was available?) Since any broker that offers, say 100:1, technically deals to you on any leverage level below that. If ...

ASIC is increasing capital requirements: url Sounds great to me. Make brokers have more cash on hand for operations so they can weather financial conditions better. I linked it here since Pepper (or their CEO rather) was noted in the article for ...

Don't stress about it, just focus on good trades and the rest will come. Wish you all the best on this!

I finally quit my day job!

Made it through the fist day of US equities being shut down due to hurricane Sandy. Today is day two, and I hope it will be more of the same. image That's better... without unexpected news announcements and bad ticks the algo chugs along smoothly. ...

Does the martingale system really work?

If you move the TP, you change the edge. If you move the TP further out, you increase the chance it does not get hit. The whole point of this conversation is to establish that the market doesn't always move the way we predict.. be it waves or ...

Does the martingale system really work?

I didn't say it wasn't.. I said it was an interest rate based future, not a currency future. You're not trading something derived from a currency value, you're trading the LIBOR tied interest rate return on a 3 month time deposit. That's why you can ...

Any brokers offering high leverage accounts to US citizens?

Not when your client agreement and T&Cs allows them to be shifty and get away from it. A court can't help you when you there. Regulators not only set baseline rules to follow, but have the legal power to kick some ass should a broker step out of ...

Exness offers 1:2000, which I think is not only irresponsible and reckless, but completely evident of a broker having no regard for the financial well-being or success of their clients. (Don't think exness opens US accounts as it relates to this ...

Any brokers offering high leverage accounts to US citizens?

You gotta play with the server files (.srv files, you'll see them, just add in the ones from your other installs) in the config directory to point to your desired broker's server. So if you generated the fxt files on your regular MT4 install (like ...

There's a script off that site that's free which you can use to test the tick level data (the fxt files).. there's a few catches, but if it's working properly then it won't even show the 'Using M1' when you start a backtest since it doesn't need to ...
