Best broker for scalpers?

They were my very first broker so many years ago. I only traded with them for about a month or two... As a newb back then, I found the charting and platform 'ok' but I was very excited about trying other platforms and seeing what worked best for me ...

Any closure here? Was it a mistake on their part? If so, could you describe how they handled the customer service issue? Was it an oversight on your end? If so, could you tell us about it? You outright called them criminals... if you did that to ...

Holy crap dude... I hope that's a demo. I wrote a little bit on not averaging losers here: Losers Average Losers Also, maybe you should get a broker who will liquidate you well before only having 48% of required margin in available capital left. ...

Take a loss in a losing position or wait for it to turn around?

Actually, are you using the old MT4 bridge account? Or the new direct MT4 account with FXCM? Perhaps the difference is from the open position being synced with their accounting.. like you got slipped but it didn't show till they synced the ...

FXCM's Strategy Trader

LMAX = revolution?!?

Hey Rob, (are you the same Rob from HSM? If so, it's Marty ) Question, what is it about FXCM's platform you like that Metatrader doesn't have? I only ask since I always believe in starting to learn what's most applicable (across many brokers) ...

FXCM's Strategy Trader

He never said 'per' month, but even so why does his return matter at all? You don't know risk undertook to get there, you don't know the drawdowns his account has seen, you don't know the volume he pushed to achieve that return, and for all you know ...

trouble with Oanda today

You guys have no idea how silly I feel! I "got" the theory behind how it changes, but I kept wondering how I could model out the change on position sizes over the long term... then it just *clicked* when I related it back to equities and ...
