No joke... Isn't this one of the top 10 most cliched "goes no where" questions of all time?

Fundamental VS technical

ROFL... I'm not that cynical I guess, but it does sound that way.

Where is the safe harbour due to world financial and economic crises?

Really? Because the stats on IPOs are quite bad, actually. And now is a very bad time to go IPO. The fact that their management has chosen now... is, frankly, a negative in my book. Who's handling their debut?

Where is the safe harbour due to world financial and economic crises?

I won't trade starting the 22nd and will resume on the 2nd. Not because I'm inherently worried about liquidity (altho that's an issue I suppose) but simply because it's good to take a break now and then. Pretty much everything in the business world ...

Why is the market behaving like this?

And how does going public protect you in any way? There's no depositor or investor insurance created in the act of "going public."

Where is the safe harbour due to world financial and economic crises?

Mt4 does have tick data available, but it's never saved anywhere. So while you can record ticks while the app is open, it's never saved to the DB. The closest you could get is a hybrid of the M1 and tick volume.

Project for Coder/Programmer

Do this... get the broker's number. Call them. Tell them you think the spike is artificial, tell them why (like other brokers don't show it). Most of them will fix the problem and fix your account. So much for "cheating" eh? If your broker does not, ...

Fine here...

It's All Noise - Right?

You know you can just prove whether it's true or not by looking at the distribution of the prices across different TFs and comparing that to one of random noise...

It's All Noise - Right?

Feed, actually. Considering that it happened across multiple brokers, what other proof do you need? Anyway, this is going no where. I try to inject a little common sense into a thread and this is what I get. Irrationality never learns.

Really? So mid-sized companies should be flawless? Hehe... if only real life worked that way. Even multi-billion dollar companies have problems. Heck, kept track of Citigroup lately? LOL. Sometimes the problems scale better than the solutions, laff. ...

Three brokers diffrent spike who's lying?

Laff. Could be said the same of ppl that blame the broker for every little problem. If you find that you're knocked out of a trade because of an inaccurate 100 pip spike in the feed (probably caused by a single bad price that was caught and fixed a ...

Old school... Ivy league connections put you in touch w/ ppl that provide you with cash to manage, allowing you to get a big name. A big name doth not a good trader make. LTCM anyone? The barrier to entry on trading has decreased over time. That ...

Does going to an Ivy League help you become a good trader

So what they're saying then is that if you have an account that's covered by the SIPC and you're using it to trade forex in addition to other instruments, your cash balance would be protected while your trades would not be, unless the trade is ...

Where is the safe harbour due to world financial and economic crises?

Nah, I doubt anyone would really find it all that useful. It just does what I've outlined tho so I guess anyone could duplicate it. Well, I could be wrong, but from my understanding the time element was just to paint out the example. It doesn't seem ...

Pending order with a twist

Heh. I don't think you can have it favor you in both circumstances. Either they'd take your gains, or they'd charge you the losses, either way... I think it's safe to say the broker will do what's in their own best interest.

Can a broker do this?

You won't be able to do that w/ a standard pending order, but you can do that just fine w/ an EA. All you need to do is find whenever price reaches say, 98. Then scan back thru a set window (say the last few days or whatever) and check the lowest ...

Pending order with a twist

None of them. Yesterday was nutso on the euro for a bit. When that happens it's not just a "spike" but a small spell of complete chaos. Different brokers may record different data because of it (the internet isn't perfect). If you ask them to, most ...

I use a demo for charting most of the time, but it's w/ a different broker. Does it automatically happen? Not normally, no. But that doesn't mean you can't do it.

When you open a live account, do you automatically retain a demo one as well?
