The 5 Steps to becoming a trader

I don't understand! Why would I trade with a platform I don't like? Especially being new. I appreciate your opinoin , and respect it, and maybe I'll change my mind, I don't even have a live account yet. Thanks ElectricSavant and MuddBuhdda, I can ...

OandA or Interbank FX for 1st live acct

Just so everyone knows I voted that I was on step 1. With the help of everyone here, and myself, I hope to progress to step 4. I don't wan't to progress to step 5, if that's what it's like. But I doubt it is like that because trading is never ...

The 5 Steps to becoming a trader

Thanks MuddBuddha, I'll keep that in mind when I open a live account! I do like the MT4 charts, they just seem user friendly to me. I guess I could use a demo account chart through Metaquotes, and then trade with Oanda, or another broker. I have ...

Oanda platform driving me nuts!

I don't know about a live account, but my demo with InterbankFX lets me trade microlots with MT4. Although, I think I remember reading someone else's post that microlots worked on a live account also. Their website boasts 2 pip euro spreads and ...

Oanda platform driving me nuts!

AUDUSD stopped out — Stopped out on the next 4hr bar, it went to .7542. My stop was set at .7539 just three pips to low. Price turned after that and went down, so although this might not have been an A trade, with a looser stop I would still ...

More Newbie Trades

I'm willing to give it a shot Habeeb. Just opened a $500 demo mini account with Metetrader. Maybe we can start a new thread where we can post charts of the trades we enter, and the reasoning behind our trades. It sounds like fun, and a great ...

Interbank Fx

c'mon man, if you have read this thread you would know that James16 is trying to "teach", not backtest some system. If you want to show us a system that you think is great then go ahead! Forget backtests, just do it live, and even if it's a ...

james16 Chart Thread

Thanks Jim. I think one of the things that makes learning so hard on a forum like this is that there are a lot of people trading on different platforms, and they also have different systems in their mind when they explain their point of view, which ...

james16 Chart Thread

I think you are talking about the daily pin bar. Why is it dissapointing? I see what you mean about the tail not being long enough, but the bar after the pin bar (today's bar) only retraced about halfway down the tail. If a stop was set just under ...

Thanks Antra, That's exactly what my original post tonight was about. I don't remember the exact thread or where, but, I think james16 said something like; I took a $10000 (mini/demo)? account and grew it to $300000 in one year just using price ...

I'm sorry Jim, but how would "most people" look at this chart? And what is the difference in the way "you" look at it? Thanks Jimmy

GBPUSD

EXACTLY, and that is why this forum is blessed to have you. And no, no one is perfect or there wouldn't be a market for "unperfect traders" to (work or play in). Double "no's" is that confluence or a "double negative"? Jimmy

dbhlc — Thanks Jim, I see What you mean. I look forward to being a part of your new "GIG" . NO HURRY THOUGH!! Jimmy

GBPUSD

dbhlc — Stopped out already So that leads me to ask: Was my reasoning wrong?, Was my stop to close?, What didn't I look at that would have discouraged me from entering this trade in the first place? I stated in a previous post that I am neew ...

GBPUSD

dbhlc — Forgot to ask. Would the fact that the dbhlc came almost right at the pivot point be considered confluence? Thanks Jimmy

GBPUSD

dbhlc — Hello All, dbhlc, went short at 1.8014, set stop at 1.8028 the high of the previous bar. Just looking at price action here. Anyone agree? Jimmy
