Margin requirement questions of a veteran "rookie"

In regards to MBT, you said: "Execution is nothing like OANDA'S MT4 tho." Do you mean the MetaTrader 4 of MBT has better execution than Oanda? Or do you mean it has worse execution?

Rtm, thank you for answering my questions. It all plays a part in factoring into my decision of what broker to use (and what to avoid). You know what? I've never thought of it that way before! It is a very true statement you've made. If people in ...

Oanda users - Oanda widening spreads

Rtm, thanks for the advice about forex.com. I am curious: What are the specific reasons for why you left Oanda? Also, do you use MT4? And, about how many trades do you average per week? My theory is that the more trades a person makes per week, the ...

Oanda users - Oanda widening spreads

Is it possible to profitably trade with MT4 brokers?

I prefer fixed spreads, but the only U.S. broker using MT4 that has fixed spreads is Citi FX. However, the problem is they require a $10,000 deposit. I only have $5000. So I guess I am out of luck trading with fixed spreads here in the United ...

Is it possible to profitably trade with MT4 brokers?

ATC Brokers data feed delayed during news events?

Sooo... if Oanda is such a big problem with their widening spreads, then what would be a good MT4 broker to use? (or at least one that is better than Oanda?) I use an EA with a 2:1 ratio of 15 SL and 20 TP for some currencies and a 20 SL and 40 TP ...

Magix, I appreciate the advice (and of course I appreciate the advice of everyone else here). However, I know next to nothing about the trade copier and therefore I prefer not to use it. But thank you anyway for the advice.

I think you may have misunderstood what I wrote. I didn't mean I am considering trading with a 5 pip stop loss. What I meant was that I am thinking about reducing my stop loss by 5 pips. Therefore, I am thinking about reducing the 15 SL & 30 TP of ...

Is it possible to profitably trade with MT4 brokers?

Does anyone know if the Luktom Visual Order Editor is now working properly with the new MT4 build? If it is not working, then does anyone know where I can get this fairly simple EA: The EA that I need is one that will move my original stop to ...

LUKTOM visual order editor unusable since 8/5 update of MT4

Well, I found out through fxdaytrader and FerruFx why I was having the problem making the script work (the original Trade Naked script mentioned in the "Trade Naked script" thread). It was as they said: The mistake I made was that I didn't put it ...

Anyone know of a script to hide the lines on an MT4 chart?

Hi Poruchik, Well, I gave it a try by putting it in my indicators folder in the MT4 (I went to "Open Data Folder" then "MQL4" then "Indicators" ... and I put it there in "Indicators"). I then clicked the Navigator tab to get to the "Custom ...

Anyone know of a script to hide the lines on an MT4 chart?

That's not a bad idea if I was only using one chart ... then I could just put the naked chart next to the trendline chart. But I have 12 charts that I am looking at (well, actually 12 chart tabs that I click back and forth to look at all of them). ...
