Jack_Larkin replied Apr 30, 2012You can find a lot of systems on myfxbook (and the like) that use martingale type risk management without stops (just keeps adding or holding) and show "realized profits" of many multiples of their initial deposit. HOWEVER, their account equity is ...

Jack_Larkin replied Apr 26, 2012Ugg.. sounds like they're just getting around it by doing some accounting in the backoffice.. NFA hasn't approved "hedging" in general, just the method that PFG is shifting positions to appear net flat to the client. I still feel that hedging ...

Jack_Larkin replied Apr 24, 2012You came into this thread admitting that we already talked about the subject and came to a conclusion, just to bring it up again with no new or significant information. It's great to bring out actual issues and problems at a broker... For example, ...

Jack_Larkin replied Apr 22, 2012Rooicol's MT4 tick chart is awesome and I use it myself. I second his suggestion. Also, while you won't be using it for order entry, you can always keep fxTrade up and running for charting on the side.

Jack_Larkin replied Apr 21, 2012The spirit of what you are asking is good... but sadly such a thread would just encourage people to smear brokers and spread fear needlessly. Take a site like ForexPeaceArmy for example, most popular brokers will have tonnes of negative claims ...

Jack_Larkin replied Apr 20, 2012Their MT4 is just a bridge.. and it could have been done a lot better. If you're scalping, just use their native fxTrade platform.. execution quality matters so much for scalping and fxTrade is great for that. You can always keep MT4 open for ...

Jack_Larkin replied Apr 19, 2012Nice

Jack_Larkin replied Apr 17, 2012Shouldn't the indicator be written to use the preset variable for current symbol? Dropping it on a new symbol shouldn't require a rewrite of code. Or is this comparing the current symbol to EUR/USD (like a correlation indicator or something)?

Jack_Larkin replied Apr 13, 2012It's more of an issue with MT4 than it is related to brokers. Period converter would be it. Or use a 3rd party charting package that does M2, and just use MT4 for execution.

Jack_Larkin replied Apr 11, 2012I've never traded them myself since the basic math of it puts the odds in favour of the house (broker) for each bet, meaning you have to be right far more often than your wrong in order to make a consistent profit (like 70%+ of the time.) I also ...
