Also, capital gains isn't 50%... it's a small amount based on what income bracket you're in. 50% is the 'inclusion rate'... so if your capital gains rate is 15% for instance, only half of your gains are taxed (inclusion rate) so your net rate is ...

Canadian Taxes on Capital Gains?

Get a proper accountant to do your taxes should this be a big part of your return. I get a CA to do mine, and it's worth every penny he costs since CRA has a lot of discretion on how they treat your trading income. CRA decides if you get to file for ...

Oh, and price came back down to the same area.. not quite your TP but are you covering now?

Given it's the ask price that triggers your TP (you were short), looking at FXCM's feed they still wouldn't have triggered it. In fact, you would have done worse (~2 pips worse) with FXCM's low ask price at that time: image Above is a MarketScope ...

Well, I wouldn't go that far... we won't be seeing the end of MetaQuotes anytime soon. Given the user base that uses it, MT4 will remain an option for traders for a long time coming. MT5 has some improvements, and I heard a rumor that they are ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

lol... Well, how about 'majority' then? It does its job well enough, that's for sure, and I'm happy with it for my own trading if that makes you feel better. At the end of the day, MetaQuotes started designing and planning MT4 about 10 years ago ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

MetaQuotes makes MetaTrader 4/5.. Boston Technologies is a 3rd party services company that supports brokers and setups MetaTrader Server for people. They also do plugins for MT. Just being exact

LMAX = revolution?!?

Ramy already got the detachable window part, the tool he linked to works well. For a quote table, I'm not sure what you mean exactly but try this: With MT4 running, press F10. This should open up the "pop-up prices" window, you can set a custom ...

Mine has been working fine since the update they did. Have you talked to support chat recently? They have an update for existing installs or you can download the platform fresh from the site and reinstall to get the updated DOM.

Always, always, ALWAYS check balances on FXTrade for the exact and correct balance (as well as detailed transaction info.) Stop right now, open your account within FXTrade, and check the balance info.. if it's gone from there too, contact Oanda and ...

My balance is gone at OANDA?

Most people looking to push that kinda volume would break it up into smaller orders and space it out over a period of time. They wouldn't put a 10 pip stop on it either. If you had a $5M account, and wanted to risk 5% in one trade (because you're a ...

nice link. Yeah, contact support. It went from being hit and miss to loading within a few seconds of starting MT4 for me.

Got an email from Pepper support about the DOM.. been bugging them about it (mine hasn't worked quite right since the launch.) They fixed the issue with the DOM not populating with data for some people. It involved updating the app itself. Existing ...

I'll also toss my hat in with the posters who've said it's a psychological difference, not a system difference. People say 'trend is your friend', 'always trade with stops' and such for a reason.. because it's to remind them when they break the ...

If it's just MetaTrader, that doesn't sound right at all. Try reinstalling it.

Try restarting the computer first, sometimes a setup process hangs when it's installed. I wouldn't put DOM windows on all charts either, just the chart you're actively going to trade. It'd odd, some people are having no trouble at all while others ...

Ahh.. that's the reason why you were so critical about the web app coming along. You're probably a bit frustrated since MT4 has nothing native or simple on Mac. Explains the charged comments.. Well, I did suss out a bit more about the new web app.. ...
