Those are good choices (especially the James16 thread even though I've never read this stuff). If you want to trade via a web platform check out Oanda. That's a very, very good broker even with small money.

Thanks! But no, hehe, that won't happen. I wouldn't trade that leverage with serious money.

No. SL are part of the system sometimes. They are necessary if you gear up (higher leverage). I know, in the book there aren't hard stops, but sometimes they are very useful (even Dirk mentions that in his mentoring). True. At that time I margin ...
