Am declaring it, but not in the init function (up top, instead). Found the problem... I was declaring it as a dynamic array... double differences[]; Like that. When I did a static size declaration like... double differences[10000]; The problem went ...

MT4 array funkiness... wtf?

Do both. And neither. Find where the money wants to go, then use the technicals to put you there. Still, be careful of fundies. IMO they're the salespitch to get the masses to buy overbought stock. "Yea, it might be down, but it's just a technical ...

The "crossover" from TA to FA or Visa Versa

Looks like we're in the correction right now. Only question is... for how long?

USD Strengthening coming to an end???

Already been alluded to, but you can always use one broker for charting and another for trading. Some of the best brokers out there have the worst charting packages, yet some of the worst brokers seem to have the best charts. Not sure why that is...

Please help me choose between these 4 brokers...

Nod. Already said, use MACD. If you don't want the distance averaged and lagged, use a signal MA of 1.

distance between ema's

There's no holy grail, including hedging. It'll work here and there, until it doesn't, then you'll have an even bigger problem on your hands. Price'll move one direction, you'll hedge, then it'll stop and move the other... leaving you in 2 ...

Money Management - Losing Position

Already answered. No, you can't. You have to go thru someone else, or lease a membership and lease the appropriate software.

Can you trade on the CME as a non-member?

Uhm, no there isn't always an expected loss of -100% within 7 years, let alone 1 year (ie risking 100% for 50%). There's a lot of traders and funds that have not had complete draw down. Your "model" is completely speculative. With a 700% profit ...

What is good ?

According to the website a full lease is nearly $4k a month, while the IMM lease is about $3k a month.

Can you trade on the CME as a non-member?

Then you'd have to trade thru a member, which entails setting up an account with them. There are brokers that specialize in CME products, find the one that offers the contracts you want (ie: google) and setup an account.

Can you trade on the CME as a non-member?

Shrug. At some level they're all bucket shops. Oanda, like every other "broker" (non-ECN), makes the most money when the bulk of it's clients lose money.

Margin calls!?

Only if your loss is greater than or equal to the margin. Since most ppl use stops and Oanda will be quick to cut your trades, that risk is pretty small. When I open trades most of the time my margin requirement is greater than my overall risk ...

Margin calls!?

When your account equity (current balance minus open trades) gets too low they'll close your open trades so you can't go negative. When do they do this? When the margin required is greater than or equal to the twice the NAV of your account. In ...

Margin calls!?

I trade w/ multiple brokers during the course of the day, I've noticed the feeds to be pretty similar to one another, and both to be pretty close to CNBC's rolling quotes at the top. Sometimes there's a small floating difference of a few pips (like ...

If the market is not centralized?

Yea but if you're withdrawing your money you have far less in your account to compound, so you have to continue making high percentages just to make decent money. In fact you'd probably have to withdrawl several times per year. If I make 50% per ...

So long w/ an RSI above X? You're optimizing for X and the RSI period? What exit?

MA Cross Optimization EA (very cool)

Nod. Take what the market gives you. Some times that'll be more than others. IMO in order to be worth doing you have to beat more traditional investments. Mutual funds offer 10% per year, hedge funds offer 20% to 30% per year. If you can beat ...

What is good ?

Sounds like you're having more down days than up days. Have you tried refining your system to improve expectancy (filter out some losses)?

How to deal with the losses??

Last set of US bank holidays I took off (well, 4th of july). Last set of EU and UK bank holidays I kept trading, just traded the US session. I remember them being a bit slow, but I had a good trade on the EURUSD. There's no hard&fast rule here, just ...
