If it makes you feel better, I can sell you a certificate from some random organization and put your name on it if you want.

You mean an accredited bachelor's degree in Forex? LOL, no. Get a bachelor's in computer science or math, add an MBA afterwards. You'll be well-suited to life as a trader.

How are you tracking them, IP? You can do that real time, quietly reject the ticks. You could consider creating a small username/password thing, but that gets back into the database problem again. Personally, I would consider doing approved IPs ...

Ohh, I see your problem. You're talking about 2000 inserts per minute. LOL. There's no shared platform built for that. You'd need a dedicated server to handle that level of activity. Or at least pricing at that level. I suspect that a relational ...

Did you look into the amazon web service I pointed out? It looks pretty solid.

Tick Database Version 2

Reading this, I feel my hands are tied a bit. I don't think fibs can tell you whether something will reverse or not, at least not reliably. So the whole presumption is fubar. Even price action is only as good as the sentiment behind it, and that's ...

How do you differentiate between retracement and reversal? (In fibonacci)

Ever thought about amazon web services? url They've got a relational database service that's quite inexpensive.

How is the weekly fee calculated? If it's based on the lot size, how is that any different than swap?

Are there any US brokers that have no swap accounts?

Yes, but there's far more to it than just placing a stop loss and a TP. If you just randomly trade over time, no SL/TP combo will work for you. Given enough time, the mean always wins out. There's a timing element to the problem. Chaos is not ...

Odds of winning are constant: Using market bias AND stop loss

No, it most certainly is not a 50/50 outcome in the actual markets. I've done that exact simulation, it is not a 50/50 outcome. I can prove it. If it was 50/50 then the loss on the account would average out as the spread per trade. In reality, the ...

Odds of winning are constant: Using market bias AND stop loss

I don't believe that at all. The market might go up, it might go down, it might go sideways. But it might go up, then down, then way up again. I don't think you can say that just because the next tick may be up, down or sideways, that the cumulative ...

Ah. That's an interesting view. I can see that, sure.

Odds of winning are constant: Using market bias AND stop loss

#3 says "In a random market." Any market with correlations, whether automatic or not, would not classify as a random market. If the assumption is broken, you aren't talking about a random market. A martingale strategy has no bearing on any of this, ...

Yeh, but not everyone reads that far =). As a personal trader, good luck. But banks are bureaucrats, they need a paper trail. Get that, they'll do anything.

Bank loan for traders

A tick occurs for every traded price. It can be the same price as the previous trade. I just flipped back to my MT4 tick chart, there's one right there. Here's a screenshot. Ignore the mouse pointer, lol. Notice the sideways ledges? image

Odds of winning are constant: Using market bias AND stop loss

I would agree from an outcome perspective, but from a practical perspective there's some obvious difference. You know what your trade stands at when you exit, you have no way to know that before-hand. There is an advantage in that knowledge. Fair ...
