I kinda feel like it does.

It's all good man. I trade without stop losses and I'm the "idiot".. Meanwhile, this just keeps happening..

Today has been good. Gotta love interest rate decisions.

I like to call it the "land of perpetual demo accounts" - lol. I wonder how long it will take before someone who's never risked a dime in their life and has been trading for 1/10th the time you have comes into your thread to tell you how wrong ...

Great advice in TRD's member status alone: "If you want to win, leave FF"

I can't stress enough how important position sizing is in trading, with or without a stoploss. It's increasingly apparent that in the land of the inexperienced, trying to explain a trading method that isn't "run of the mill" is virtually impossible. ...

Trading Without a StopLoss

Well, I promise when I blow my account, I'll start a thread.

Trading without SL: your profound experience

I can understand that. No, I don't use fixed take profit orders, it's all time-based. Trades I plan on closing usually have an "expiration date". I've changed how I handle winning trades and losing trades several times over the years. I really try ...

Trading without SL: your profound experience

I don't leave bad trades open indefinitely and my entries are the furthest thing from "spectacular". When I open a basket, I usually do so at the start of a new daily candle. So, I'll start on Monday afternoon (EST) find the pairs that pay rollover ...

Trading without SL: your profound experience

Yes, well, low-leverage is the key to surviving the method. But I don't usually trade one pair at a time. I also don't do the martingale thing. The reason for the decision to trade without a stop loss is simply to not get taken out meaninglessly in ...

Trading without SL: your profound experience

Yes. Trading the account as opposed to trading prices and doing so without stop losses is very possible. There's no real secret to it other than trading small (relative to the account) and being well-capitalized. There's also no real "advantage" to ...

Trading without SL: your profound experience

Man, J-Rock, if you guys could put your DOM feed into TS2, you'd be my hero.

It's okay, Jason, we got it figured out.

Since the market's open again, I figure I'd get a screen cap of what I'm talking about. I get this message when I try to set dynamic or fixed trailing stops or if I try and set stop losses by point distance. *EDIT* SOLVED contacted client services

FXCM Discussion

Thanks Jason. Maybe I recieved the error because I was running MT4 and TS2 at the same time. I'm sure you've been asked about it before. The TS2 error that says: "Due to a limitation in MT4, peg orders are not available. Please contact client ...

Hi Jason, I've been considering abandoning the MT4 platform altogether since the TS2 platform is quite a bit more comprehensive. Sure, the MT4 platform is great for people who spend more time coding than they do trading but I've long since passed ...

On my end, the lowest low for today on the EURGBP is 0.73498 and it lines up on all time frames in TS2. However On MT4, the lowest low is 0.73488 - a full pip off as mentioned before. Even still, and maybe I'm weird but, if two people are trading ...

I know, it's terrible. I was demoing Interactive Brokers' platform last night and this morning and honestly, FXCM's TS2 is a damn-decent platform. At least in Trading Station 2 the damn prices are accurate and with the DailyFX news feed at least ...

FXCM Discussion

Look, I don't claim to understand all the ins-and-outs of trading technology but I'd think that getting the price feed right is some pretty basic sh*t for brokers of anything. I spent last night looking at new brokers because honestly, while I ...
