What about US regulations are a problem for your trading methods? I'm guessing you are a US citizen / resident?

FX brokers in Mexico

Yeah, Pepperstone's razor account has been great during that time, but even with tight spreads during that period, the entire time turns into a chop fest between ~4:30pm EST and 7pm EST... I don't touch it. Maybe check out Dukascopy..

Broker with lowest pre-asian spread

Most people have no clue about ECN credits in equities since retail brokers don't give DMA (and even the ones who do often don't do pass-through on credits.) It's because of both this and another issue (below) that I don't think we'll see a surge of ...

An FX Broker that pays for LIMIT orders?

And yes, as I said in a few posts now, there still is an issue with disconnects.. :/ rooicol created a script to log all disconnects that take place. (And good on him, that guy rocks for some of the scripts he's created!) However, I felt there was a ...

Pepperstone Forex

When did I ever say the disconnections were automatically your client side's fault? Sigh... don't think you understood my post, read it again. I made the suggestion so you can prove it's NOT your problem or your internet connection. You show ...

Pepperstone Forex

Gotta be careful about what this implies though.. Even with Pepperstone having a disconnection problem, not all disconnections occur because of the server dropping out. The disconnection could be caused by any number of ISP, net, connectivity, ...

Pepperstone Forex

I'm making the distinction here because new traders are reading this thread and might think "the big boys do it, so I'll run that martingale EA on my $300 account." There's a world of difference between averaging in and martingale... and I don't ...

Does the martingale system really work?

That's a little different... Martingale is when you set a given distance between opening orders and your aiming to make 1R return from your initial order either right off the bat or as a blended rate between multiple orders. If a trader has a ...

Does the martingale system really work?

What? We get slapped hard if we are averaging in a la martingale at my work. There are some cases where doubling up is allowed but only on a specific style of equity trading and not anything like martingale. (Cash buyout announcements causing credit ...

Does the martingale system really work?

Most banks keep dealing through the interbank exchange networks til about 5pm EST on Friday. Equities close at 4pm EST on Friday. That last hour sees only a fraction of the volume and liquidity, spreads widen a lot, and really they are only open to ...

TradingPoint Spreads

It always pleases me to see people do their own hard analysis.

Oanda vs. MBT FREE EXN

Oanda US? You can still gamble on 50:1 leverage, just use daily charts.

TradingPoint kicks out US customers...

Well, if it works it works. I only made mention of it because the higher zone would have been a good entry without as much risk. You were nearly stopped out after all. You could always split up your orders next time a higher timeframe S/D zone is so ...

B.S. Trading with Kenneth Lee

For different reasons than the system features in this thread, I was buying a bit below your short (I trend scalp mostly.) Made 30 pips out of it. The area just above the zone you marked as supply had a much higher probability of being tested. Not ...

B.S. Trading with Kenneth Lee

Where to even start with this.. . Ok, trade with a stop loss and a disconnection won't affect your risk on a position since the server will execute stops without the client needing to be online. Even without the disconnections, you gotta use stops. ...

OANDA Discussion

Everyone is so young... all born in the mid to late 80's. Don't get me wrong, I'm around that age myself... but I'd expect people with a bit more industry experience taking up managing roles at a broker. They are all fresh out of school or still ...

Instaforex Reviews!

Mentioned this once before, but a dirty work around to do this in the mean time would be setting a trailing stop with an alert exactly the distance between your open and initial stop loss level. In MT4, once price moves that distance, the stop will ...

Need EA that make order breakeven

I don't blame you, they look like a good deal Let us know how it goes and any hic-ups you might have... might have to switch over.

Looking for a VPS for a UK-based broker

Yeah, but you always have to look at it from a total cost point of view: Spread + Commissions calculated to a pip value + average slippage if any = total cost per lot turn Dukas: 0.8 (average during NYC/London overlap session) + 0.48 (base level) + ...

Best FX broker for scalping - pro traders opinion only pls

For EUR/USD? After 4pm it goes up a bit to ~1.8, yes, but during the main NYC session it's usually 1.2 pips. Huge difference, to be fair.
