i am testing Australian broker. eur usd - lowest was 0.6, usually 1 - 1.2, commision aud6 per lot round trip. gbp jpy - sorry, can remember, i am changing soft on my pc. i am looking into dax and dow right now, using market maker, and eur usd spread is wow! 1.3 pip. if you would like to give ecn a go using real money, i know where to open one with ANY initial deposit /asked them to let me try due to bad experiences with their competitors/, pm me, i ll give you link.

thanks for that. i have tested few solutions over last week. yes, difference is noticable!

Hi All, I may be asking dump silly question, i have noticed it just a few days ago: After opening a demo ecn account, i am having 80% accuracy in trading, which means, most of my positions win. It may be a case that my beloved broker tweaks the market maker version of platform. Do you guys use ecn accounts? Did you find any difference besides spread, speed of execution? In case anybody thinks i must be a genius, i can assure you i am not ;-) I use standard indicators on MT5, nothing sophisticated. Ah, there is something, few days before i registered for ecn demo, i changed time frame, now i play on M30 hoping to scoop out longest trends - from 40 trades a day, i lowered down to 5 max, but quality ones with pip in range 10+, on all low spread pairs. By the way, ecn spread rocks! Hope you are all well.

wooohooo, i am making profit 3rd day in a row :-) on a live account.

I am using roboforex.com, they seem to have good spread, and available ecn i am testing at the moment. For a starter, their customer service chat could be better, but otherwise cant complain. I will continue, i really think there is money to be made, and much more than 10% a month, much much more. I hope i will be able to proove it one day. I am hard to offend, i like to confront matters, i like discussion and exchange of sparkly thoughts. I always enjoyed meeting up with people for idea exchange, sometimes you can learn new tricks in a trade you know inside out, everybody is different, we all focus on different ingredients of the same old dish.

:-) I am in my mid 30's and i have just taken a few weeks off to avoid burnout. I am involved in 2.5 ;-) businesses of different industries. To have my phone switched off is extremally plesant i must say. And simply due to plenty of free time, i started with trading, i always wanted to do it, after was infected by one of professors in college years ago. So to make a quick assumption over a few posts, may be quite misleading, and i learned along the way, not to judge people on the first date I remember a gentleman i have met 6 years ago /we are still friends/. He looked, smelled and spoke like a red necked farmer. Dirty shoes, messy hair, not shaved /looks almost like me /. And the guy turned out to be a CEO of a large retail chain in Europe. After one of a few lunches, i have seen him jumping into a fat, white Jaguar with two exhausts at the back. He has 4 kids with his partner, mid 50s, and the reason why he is still not married, is similar why catholic church doesnt allow priests to involve into married relationships. By the way, i learned recently, that the only body which owns more property than catholic church in this world is Ray Kroc /McDonalds co founder/. Going back to trading - I have just changed approach a bit, rather then trying to predict the trend, i started reading candle charts searching for current signs of change of patterns. It seems to work much better than fortune telling ;-) But it is not hard to predict what will be happening with eur usd in this very point of time, it seems reaching its own extremum just an hour ago. Lets see how right i am ;-) Are traders introverts? I would argue. I am an extreme extrovert - thats why i prefer outgoing solutions rather than watching chart. But as exemption from a rule - i enjoy my time of analysis. Geeks wouldnt have social emotionals developed to the extent where they could think for the rest of the world. ...and that is i think large skill to have here. Looking at the charts of eur usd, i must say there is about 300euro to be made buying 0.1 lots throughout the day, just by looking at the longest trends. And this would be much more than 10% roi. Hoping to be succesfull on 50% rate, we talk much more than 10% roi. Anybody think it is possible?

hey, i knew it may trigger somebody to use critisism as self defence, but as i said, i havent even tempted to do it. After acknowledging vast amount of information, i am still trading. I really started looking for an answer why so many people do it /if they do it, they must be succesfull then/. I really put an afford in the research and methods offered here and there. Throughout the day i am between learning and testing what i have learnt. I have periods of wins, and then hours of losses - and i cannot tell where it comes from. At some point today, i thought that scalping is quite exhausting, and tried longer time gaps with actually better result. There is something i still havent seen, which is scalping done by somebody else - it is actually unbelivable, there is so many learning resources, and nobody ever showed how they do it. To show a chart with trade points on it, and to tell a story after the trade, is a piece of cake. But i actually am ready to buy a lunch to the one who could actually record a few minute session. Another question comes to my mind, some of you guys say that achieving 10% roi in a months time is good. How this can be good? This is a disaster to spend those hours on the computer for 0.33% a day??!! I am sure you would make more if the money you risk put against few chaps selling dougnuts around the city - they would make much more! Even if that 0.33 means 30k a day - it is still very little comparing to the risk. And i could give my mortgage for that - if it was 30k a day, you wouldnt do it yourself - you would rather hire a broker so you can go kite surfing in meanwhile ;-) Guys, what keeps you at those computers for the whole day? If it is 10%/month - it is not obviously money....

Hello Everybody, This would be my first post in entire /2 week long/ experience with forex trading. I have been reading day and night to learn and give myself best possible try on markets. I probably will shock a good few of you, but sure, i am gonna tell the truth: Facts: 1. Within first day i have made 60% profit. 2. Second day i have lost the profit and another 20%. 3. I have started making more trades with lower amount of investment - i do something what you would call trend scalping - 5min to 1hour waits, each day i gain. 4. For most of the days i have been successfull in demo, but when i opened real account, i blew 200eur. Conslusion: 1. Real account is twitched so you WILL loose money. Why i think so? Population /ordinary people/ has the highest amount of money in their pockets in opposite to banks, governments etc. Somebody created a system to get the public involved as well, so there is more money on the stake. Whoever founded the system, will make sure, those money will change the owner earlier or later. But sure, there is some intelligent ones who found their way around. 2. Whole pile of indicators is a huge pile of nonsense - all i used is my learned analytics and probability gut feeling. I have tested number of described systems, and once you get a grip, you can easily notice that there is nothing really exciting in them, you can see whatever you want without them. 3. If there is only 10% of winners, why would you bother sitting all day staring at the screen in loneliness? Wouldnt it be easier to start a business with real people and make some more fun out of it? 4. I watched interviews with most successfull brokers on wall street, and they all are supertitious :-)) Why? Becose the market is not to be understood - it is to be a mystery, same way the fortune telling is. I hope i havent offended too many traders, it is just my personal opinion on it overall.
