Thanks, this all makes sense. So FXCM did just the mistake to allow him borrowing more money than he should be able to borrow. The margin call was just wrong executed in that case he ended up with a negative balance. Now it seems to be very fair to ...

Locked (hedge) trade can face a Margin Call

I still don't get it. You said you were full hedged so no margin call could occur. Ok. Then you say that the market did walk in your favor and you could unlock those positions? How can the market walk in your favor if you are completely hedged? Your ...

Locked (hedge) trade can face a Margin Call

I can only speak for Alpari UK but there you can have such an excessive leverage of up to 500:1 only if your balance is below $5000. I can't imagine a broker offering such a leverage for bigger accounts. For everything above $5k you have a leverage ...

From 10k to 1 million...

No offense, but you traded this style 5 years and did survive and still have money? My respect! Obviously something got wrong in your account. You should ask FXCM how they come up with their calculation. They want to give your money back, so how ...

Locked (hedge) trade can face a Margin Call

Yay, break even day - the second time. I'm back above 10k again. Will this be the first month I'm in the plus?

From 10k to 1 million...

You might be right. Usually I trade from 30m-daily and sometimes with no chart at all.

From 10k to 1 million...

It's easy. Use a number of different demo accounts and go all in with different approaches in all of them. At least one should be in the black heavily after a week.

Over 13,000% return in just 1 week ! How is that possible ?

Oh yes. And don't forget about this "great" MT4-feature: url

objective opinion about MT4

Yes. If the high of the candle is, let's say 1.3500 then the bid would be 1.34995 and the ask would be 1.35005 if you take a spread of 1.0 pips.

OANDA Discussion

No. Oanda's charts show the mid price. So you have to add half of the spread to both buy stop and sell stop orders.

Yes, of course that is possible. But as you can see at least for me it isn't that easy.

Ok, as I promised, here comes the transactions list. I decided to close my grids as this just became to inflexible in the long run (e.g. for the case I want to do a short trade in the EU - simple hedging isn't possible with Oanda using the same pair ...

Thanks for your kind words. Actually I expected some kind of "loser bashing".

From 10k to 1 million...

No, it just was already priced in. More important was the press conference as the ECB talked about QE before which would be bad for the Euro. But that was only blabla as the ECB wants to keep the Euro weak. Actually that is hard to achieve regarding ...

EURUSD

Only if they introduce REAL quantitative easing. And that's nearly impossible because the ECB can't do this technically like the FED did. The markets needed some time to grasp this. I'd be really surprised to see quotes below 1.32 the next days... ...
