Kinda making my quote look out of context by malforming it like that. :/ JForex is unique to Dukas and a lot of new traders find the learning curve a little steep. A lot of newer traders get attached to MT4 as well, which Dukas doesn't work with ...

Broker Manipulation

side question: how do you even read your charts without your eyes bleeding?

USD/CAD

Dukas is one of the better brokers out there... they just don't grove well with new traders. It sounds like you're trading without a clear plan, just taking bets based on your opinion. For new traders, this usually leads to losses. Consider it a ...

Broker Manipulation

Glad it was solved. Could you describe anything else that lead to MT4 messing up? Think it was related to the platform build updates by MetaQuotes? This might help others having the same issue.

S&P cash quote or CFDs? Plenty of brokers offer CFDs, but I don't know many situations where I'd recommend trading them over other means of gaining the same exposure.

NYSE in MT4

Pre-made baskets... this is awesome! Too bad I do see any info on when this is coming to Oanda Canada (*sadface*)

OANDA fxUnity - Anyone tried it?

STOR error relates to the built in FTP publisher/client in MT4. It's not used by default, maybe you setup some sort of tracking software through FTP (like the old, old way of hooking up to MyFXBook / MT4i) As for the positions... CALL them now! ...

What type of prop firm model do you want to compare? The answer would depend on this.

Broker vs. Proprietary trading firm

err... Canadian law suits? Most provinces have regulations that openly allow residents to trade FX offshore. I've yet to hear of this changing or becoming more restrictive. Where did you hear we can't? The only exception I know of is for residents ...

Trustworthy DMA Broker w/ low spreads, CFD's, accepting Canadian clients

Ahah! Yeah, it is a 'who cares' sorta thing... but let me be clear, this isn't about shrugging off potentially alarming info, it's simply not something that mattered in the first place. The people pushing this as an issue want to alarm potential ...

Oanda is free for cheque withdrawal for me... that is, the first request per month is free. That's what I use. Outside of that, anytime you need to wire money out of an account, there's usually a fee since the bank that does the wire charges for the ...

Do all brokers charge for withdrawals?

I'd love to see the swap on that over so many years.

What's the longest you've held a trade for?

all depends on the strategy.. I have one account that mirrors the DB Currency Harvest Index.. I've been holding the positions for nearly two years now, adding a little and taking a little off to rebalance them as required. Oh, keep in mind it's only ...

What's the longest you've held a trade for?

I quoted what I wrote last time this subject came up. It helped a few people understand a bit better. I gave FXCM as an example, fits well... basically LPs have been taking microlots for a while now, be that on the other end of an ECN or directly ...

Not off topic at all. We've talked about this quite a bit in this thread. Basically, Integral's ECN grid has a facility to handle small lot orders and in the last few years most LPs now accept them at the same rate as a standard order. It's part of ...

No, it's not worth noting without also factoring in the average spread. Total cost is the only metric you should be focusing on (spread, commissions, account fees, platform fees, etc..)... You could go one step further and extend the average spread ...

Are you seeing something I'm not? In context of this thread, it doesn't appear to be within a supply zone... and 1:1 RR seems a bit off given the objective of a system like this. Post a marked up chart if you'd like to point out what you're seeing, ...

No worries Was just trying to be clear.

USD/CAD went wrong, tips on money mgmt

In my post I do mention that I think 5% is too high.. I was just qualifying it with a few reasons it could be deemed too high before we even touched proper money management. I'm a firm believer that if you wouldn't trade a $100k account with 5% risk ...

USD/CAD went wrong, tips on money mgmt

Ok, two things: 1) I wanted to chime in here and say the people who said 5% is too much are correct....but not quite because the risk is too high on its own; You are risking too much without having first established a 'system' expectancy. By ...
