Ok, here's the transcrip of my chat with ibfx a few minutes ago. They say the problem is with the historical data on the DEMO servers only, and there is no problem with the live servers. Also say the problem will be fixed by monday. We'll see. One ...

Problem with IBFX MT4 demo charts

Funny, I'm using a laptop while I'm away from home, and after work today the live update happened again, but when I look at the "about" splash screen in mt4 it's still showing build 191. hmmm.. Maybe something with the update? Still don't know why ...

Problem with IBFX MT4 demo charts

aud/usd weekly — Set a buy stop last friday above the resistance of the highs of the bars shown in the chart and a few pips above the 61 fib in case price bounced off. May add another buy stop above the resistance of the next level of bar ...

Thank you kind sir!! Jimmy

sm, I sure would if you don't mind! When I first came across forex, and trading in general about a year ago (before I discovered FF) it seemed like a lot of emphasis was placed on macd. I have always used metatrader though, and never liked the ...

Expert Advisors for Meta 4

lachie, Thanks for your response. I am really wondering if I'm fully understanding Vegas' 50% retracement rule, and from what you said I think I am. Yesterday's price action has no relation to the 50%. The 50% retracement would based on today's ...

Thanks, any two cents are always welcome. If I get enough two cents, and keep putting them in my trading account I'll be in good shape. I didn't think I was trying to anticipate where the market was going, I was trying to anticipate implementing ...

No posts to this thread for a while, but... — an observation and question. GBP/USD has surpassed the 3rd fib level and is headed for the 4th. Definitely time to sit up and take notice. At this point there is no trade because there is no price ...

SMJ, Along the same thought, that might be right. If you performed the same discretionary action enough times, at what point might it become a rule? I'm thinking at that point it might be more of a habit, and then I might want to step back and ...

I Had No Idea I Took So Much For Granted

SMJ, I think we're on the same page here. I think that a "discretionary rule" is an oxymoron. A rule is a rule, I'm not sure where discretion would come in. A "mechanical rule" seems more logical to me. If you have a mechanical system, then it must ...

I Had No Idea I Took So Much For Granted

Beat me to it East! But thanks, great link too. Man, your faaaaaaaasssssst. My meager defense is that is I'm on dial up right now, plus I'm using a loaner laptop and have to hit the backspace button every other letter to correct my spellliong, ...

I Had No Idea I Took So Much For Granted

SMJ, I have to LOL myself . I meant "just my humble opinion" by JMHO. IMO is "in my opinion, and IHMO, I think you might mean IMHO is "in my humble opinion". Man, a lot of alphapet soup to learn when doing the internet thing, huh? Looking forward ...

I Had No Idea I Took So Much For Granted

system, rule, discretion? — I think I agree with Darkstar here. You might have many rules that you follow before entering a trade. You might not enter enter a trade before your first cup of coffee in the morning, or you might not enter a trade ...

I Had No Idea I Took So Much For Granted

Dialist, Bad link here, as far as I can tell. Great job here so far!! I for one really appreciate it. Jimmy

Pip Value > Newbie question

Please explain, I don't have any idea what you mean. Jimmy

I can't understand this enormous spike...

I believe that Oanda runs on the weekends, and you can follow your pairs there. But, I think that activity on the weekend is minimal, and should not effect your trading stategy Take the weekend off; enjoy, relax! JImmy

For those holding positions over the weekend, check how your currency is doing!

What an interesting idea! Some people have LAN parties where they try to out-do each other in video games. Imagine a LAN party where people try to out-trade each other? This would be difficult to do with trading because most of time you have to sit ...
