Demo'ing is a crucial (and necessary) part in becoming a successful trader as long as you take your demo trades serious. Sometimes, I have found myself trading less-than-optimum setups (that I wouldnt have taken had it been real money) because "it's ...

Right between the eyes. In my opinion, the best a serious trader could do is to stay out of the market when big news are due. Trying to trade those chaotic spikes is like trying to catch a falling knife.

I got the same bug. It's a MT4 thing that happens every now and then. Does anyone know how to fix it?

what the hell is that?

I guess it depends what time frame you guys are following, but in my chart I see a descending channel that is about to break upward. If such breakout does happen and confirms via price action, Im bullish on USDJPY.

This statement is, ultimately, correct in theory.

Any Consequence for having too many successful traders?

My take on loonie right now is to stay away from it. I personally cannot foresee where it's headed at this time. As stated above, it's entrapped within a wedge and showing confusing signals in both directions up and down. To sum it up: I am staying ...
