Well there you go. Waiting for that shorting opportunity paid off. I hope you didn't hold on too much to your long bias there Rich. Usually I would establish a bias when I have enough good reasons to and then use orderflow only when waiting for ...

AMAZING Strategy!!!

Guys did you hear the news? The CFTC has just banned the Amazing Strategy for US traders! They state that their reason for this is to "protect the American public, namely the lower to upper-middle class, from too much money and ensure a fairer, ...

AMAZING Strategy!!!

Wasn't too "unexpected" for me as I was rather expecting the drop in oil. Stocks aren't helping either, and Tritchet's speech was less likely to move the euro further up. Orderflow-wise, that 4530'ish correction was perfect for going short for me. ...

Professional traders don't trade with retail market makers. True, and it's rarely a legitimate complaint. In this (fxgrinder's) case, it is.

You made the generalization that, until not long ago, banks have not been making money at trading at all. That's incorrect. One of the basic reasons is: it's a zero sum game, remember? There must always be losers but there must always be winners ...

Yes but I don't think the term had ever been used as a trading methodology before Darkstar, had it? It simply meant the flow of orders in the orderbook, not a way to actually trade. Ten years from now I'd be 33 years old, so I'll definitely be ...

And by "they" does the author mean ALL banks? If so, does he provide proof of this? Because he is simply incorrect. (he does say it's what he "personally believes") haha I thought about that too at first.

OANDA Discussion

lol. Who told you this? Only a (usually the smaller) percentage of banks' investment capital goes to high-risk speculative investments such as forex. Just as is the case with individual traders, strong/competent banks do and have always made money ...

Bröker reviewing websites are something that I don't recommend simply because: 1) there are too many newbies among the reviewers who don't know how forex brökers function and who will call a bröker "scam" simply because they lost money there, or ...

I can confirm that (though was never privileged to received any direct tutoring or anything like that) it was by reading Darkstar's posts that I started thinking about this, tried to connect the dots, and started looking at the market from that new ...

then you are the patsy. haha no holy grails here my friend. Only a different approach to the market. Oh and, in my case, lots of coffee. As far as I personally know, there's no one resource that can really "teach" it to you. You teach it to ...

Sounds like they just don't want to have to admit that it's a glitch (or a manipulation?) on their end.

OANDA Discussion

With all due respect, but he just told you what you need to know: Those websites are unreliable. Are you seriously taking a 3rd party website's word for it? A website that happens to advertize the brökers for profit? (I just saw a GoMarkets banner ...

@Lonestar: Oh okay, I now see what you were getting at. And they don't say why? Not exactly what I thought they meant when they said "OANDA takes transparency to a new level".

OANDA Discussion

Sounds like a glitch either on the server side (the "dealing desk", if you will) or the client side (FXTrade). Did you read this part: "I did not enter the Change Order (I couldn't because the TP had already triggered and therefore, the trade no ...

OANDA Discussion

Well give her a break guys. 1) $hit happens and it's not always the client's fault. If that is the case, brökers refund the client's trade, period. 2) Just because something didn't happen to you doesn't mean it can't happen to anybody else. 3) If ...

OANDA Discussion

Actually I didn't. I don't have a live account with FinFX. As I said earlier I'm just keeping an eye on them. I like to keep a little list of potential (non-US) brökers like this that I watch and see how they're customers are doing, etc. Just in ...

FinFX opinions

Assuming you are absolutely sure that nobody accessed your computer and placed the change order during your absence, that would mean one thing: The problem is on their end, be it intentional manipulation or some sort of glitch. In other words, it's ...
