I agree, looking at the chart only it looks like there is more down potential. I think we might see a fake breakout to the south to cash in some stops.

Gold Discussion

Ah, another fundamental one. Could you post some of your analysis? And could you post your profit in percent and not in pips? Pips doesn't mean anything. I can have a loss of 1000 pips in a month and nevertheless end up positive in my balance...

For me the "holy grail" came after getting in contact with FxStreet.com's live trading contest winner of 2007. His kind of trading style was so completely different - it was just amazing. Nowadays I'm one of the rare fundamental traders out there ...

Do you still believe in the perfect trading system?

I'm long as well. Actually I don't look at charts so often as they can just misguide one (at least me). Fundamentally (the way I trade) Gold has still a long way to go up. I just scale in and add more longs if it continues to go down, low leverage ...

OANDA Discussion

pipmutt at least this isn't true for limit orders at Oanda (beside the rare slippage there). But I understand what you mean. This would only affect scalpers using market orders and I agree, scalping with a market maker is not that a smart idea.

OANDA Discussion

It's just the way they do it. Nothing secret. A margin call isn't there to let the client have some money left, it's just there to protect the client from a call for additional cover like you have if you trade futures.

Margin calls!?

Why not? At least you have something left in your account. My last margin call with a MT4-shop did end that way that I've left 0.40$ in my account. And it was a better MT4-based market maker. If you want to get a margin call earlier you can just ...

Margin calls!?

Not true in case of Oanda.

Margin calls!?

You can send it to me if you want some comments and feedback. Generally it's a good idea I think. I took a mentorship a while ago and after all it was a good idea having another trader (in that case my mentor) to have a look at my trades...

Thanks. I've removed my own accounts from the list for some while now because it might be a kind of conflict of interest... But nevertheless I've learned a lot in the past years and made a lot of (more often not that nice) experiences...

Thanks for your thoughts! Yes, that's me.

I understand what you mean but wouldn't this give an arbitrage opportunity?
