Yeah that's a good lesson. At one point, it becomes 'shame on me' doesn't it? Everyones responsibility to get their infrastructure sound after all. I'm just beginning the live account phase so being with go and seeing how bad platform reliability ...

What i was doing last night was having another brokers demo account going on another monitor, and when i noticed go's summary thing stop flashing, i force it to another data server. Yeh probably best to avoid the more volatile pairs on GO if you're ...

GoMarkets Discussion

Yeah, the servers are quite down for me.

Reading back over this thread.. just checked the thingy in the bottom right corner, and apparently i was connecting to San Diego. Chosen Melbourne, let's see if that will make things better.

GoMarkets Discussion

From tonights disconnects, i've noticed that too. Execution doesn't seem too bad .. just makes me nervous getting into a positions when i'm not confident for staying connected for the duration. Trading AUD which doesn't run off that much in scalping ...

GoMarkets Discussion

Yeah, i've been disconnected twice in the last 1/2 hour also (since 5pm AEST). Maybe its load? Just mailed customer service, hope there's a solution

When you're teaching yourself to trade, its sometimes like the blind leading the blind. Actually, it is the blind leading the blind until its not. But why take the fun part away? ADX is what i was after. And at a high level, after that, oscillators ...

Indicator for channelling markets?

Hmm, perhaps my initial question was a bit strange. Having an indicator somehow pick what a price is going to do at a price level, reverse, consolidate, or break out, could be a bit much to ask? I've looked at ATR before, it sounds very sound in ...

Indicator for channelling markets?

Actually.. may have answered my own question. The price action on the shorter timeframe's can be used to determine momentum? If a longer timeframe is moving, but shorter timeframes are pretty much flat.. would this be a strong clue that the price ...

Indicator for channelling markets?

I tried the 1 min charts.. and found it a tad too volatile to be consistent. I like the 5 min charts.. using the 1 min charts to help see momentum and position...

Scalping techniques on 1 Min chart

Max 15 pips? Why get out if you don't have to? Depending on your pair (and if any major new is occuring), more like 1-200 pips, with the average depending on what pair is your favourite. Or i'd see 1-15 pip's as a minimum, unless your trade was ...

What's the definition of Scalping?

Lol. Just searched around for the 'models and bottles' idea. Pretty funny stuff. The cartoon probably has it more right though. If you were going to find a employed job doing this, a trader would be much more interesting than being a financial ...

By pyramid do you mean using multiple timeframes? Yeah that seems to be the way to go. same for non market maker brokers, and being fast! Reading over my original post it wasn't that clear.. was just curious or not whether when you're looking for an ...

Manual scalpers - what do you do when monitoring the market for a trade?

I'm in development myself.. and have also experienced the broker side differences between demo and live. The widening spread (not talking about extraordinary spread here) turned out to be a good sanity check here.. I subjectively figured that if my ...

I've asked this before BUT I realy need to know

Yeah you probably are. Good luck! The only last tip then is, if you're subscribing to a particular method somewhere, generally any content that makes you feel bad (or making them seem holy) by nagging about common trading mistakes (or anything) ...

Very important, compulsory to get this right even, but that comes after your trading method. Why do i know this? Spent way way way to long getting this part right. And there's so much good stuff you can do in terms of this. But that doesn't teach ...

Want to be a professional trader

Nice one. You're on the right track by getting on a good forum and reading/asking. I know how you feel exactly. I'm pretty sure what kept me going though was having done a similar skillup with computers over the last 15 years (im 31). Just getting ...
