Lesson learned again, just got stopped out at - 30pips, after I said I won't trade on higher time frame then 5 min, decided to mess on 1 hour timeframe. Just donated my average daily profit. Ahh... just another day at the office.

EURUSD

My thoughts: The spike is a consequence of all capital converting to CHF from Europe until the Greece/Italy etc. problem is resolved. Imo, before that no long position is valid since it could very well spiral out of control and end bad for euro. The ...

EUR/CHF

I did a sampling for couple of days (in February) for E/U and got ~0.9. Can't remember if it is for the whole day average or just EU-US session.

Myth busted: FOREX doesn't have directional bias

It's not all black.There is a global benefit for economy from traders. Suppose there is a large investment company that can predict future. Then one day they predict that a big depletion disaster would hit oil. So they star buying oil and push the ...

How does trading benefit the economy?

Why would people need multiple accounts with one broker?

Depends at the semantic. I prefer it this way since you don't need to think about price like in the limit order plus you've get the benefit of the slippage. Generally I don't like market orders since they leave you exposed to much on market ...

tnx for response.... you got one thing off... market orders don't go to the order book (bid/offer go), I wouldn't bet on often catching other market orders without collocating your server near dukascopy server. The second point is off. The market ...

Rundtrip is 1 second on average (price needs 500ms to come to you and 500ms to execute your order). From my logic using market orders to go long with price having a bias to go long the 1 sec lag will get you a lot of negative fills. I would say that ...

Just me, or is this funny. Not to bring you down but "point in the future" is far away from you. You didn't do any research simply by googling the subject "average return in hedge funds". There is something for you on: url under Performance ...

I don't know all about limit orders and their TP/SL options since I've programmed all TP , SL options regardless of the jforex internal options. As you describe it there shouldn't be a trigger on TP before the limit order is triggered. In jforex TP ...

I don't get the question. You can set limit order with no TP and after it has been filled set the TP for that order (you will need to program that). Generally you can program a different stlye for TP, SL, as you wish if you have the time to do it ...

Yes, I use bid/offer for over 50% with my trades. I don't actively provide liquidity so I don't know how much market orders one can expect to pick up. Since I calculate spread into my positioning I have a lot of certainty that my order should be hit ...

lol...no defending needed I was just wondering since HFT is in essence impossible with human reaction time(0.4 sec) if the numbers on wiki for 70+% of HFT volume is misrepresentation and they are counting algorithmic trades? That's why I ask where ...
