QUOTE(Volatile369 @ Jan 29 2010, 01:27 AM) I like what u've just said. Anybody gt idea about the FOMC today? wat happened? was not with the news recently.. >.< Added on January 29, 2010, 12:43 amWhats the percentages they will implement? if they really do so, will our US account be closed?  We won't close the account but the leverage 1:10 will make our account easily margin call. So if CFTC really implement this rule, then must get ready to transfer our account to other country, but still not sure when they'll launch.

QUOTE(billytong @ Jan 29 2010, 09:48 AM) or we have to reduce our pip/cost sooo much that one will need huge amount of money in an acc to make a living. In the end, only the rich can earn more. Leverage isnt really an issue. I can trade with 1:700 leverage if I want, it is the number of pips it takes to get a person margin call matters and it also depends on how much the person is risking and where he place his SL. But if we want to earn more, with leverage 1:700 compare to 1:10, definitely we got the space to open more or larger lot size and the chances to earn more also bigger, if we use 1:10, the margin already used much on our capital, then we can't really open so many lot size in order to earn more. Beside, you said trade with 1:700, are you using IG Markets broker? As i know only this broker provide 1:700 leverage.

If you can live with that, then fine. As for the verified by visa program, some banks in Malaysia has adopted a second level of verification, namely MasterCard® SecureCode⢠and Verified by VISA. Some e-commerce sites require that you have this level of protection before accepting your credit card. moneybookers.com is it something like paypal?

QUOTE(Sham903n @ Jan 31 2010, 06:49 PM) maybe someone just mix up 100:1 vs 1:100.. I would suggest you take 1:500 or more.. less likely to wipe.. but still depends on your volume/lot size..  100:1=100=1000% 1:1=1=100% 1:10=0.1=10% 1:100=0.01=1% 1:500=0.002=0.02% (1:500) if 1 movement effects 0.02% of your account.. and (1:100) 1 movement affects 1% of your acct.. which one is riskier? I personally agree with 1:500 provide less risky, some ppl will think 1:100 less risky because they think this is the only way to control the trader open smaller lot size, but this is just mentally control, if you got a trading method with discipline implemented, your trading way is fixed, so automatically your lot size are fixed, then risk the account with 0.02% are more reasonable than 1% risky.

QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Jan 31 2010, 11:25 PM) You are mixing up leverage with lot size. Leverage does not increase the risk. The size of the order creates the risk. As you mentioned the size of the order, if we use 1:100, the margin we used are larger than the 1:500, although lot size fixed but margin used increased. Eg: we open 1 lot of EURUSD = USD100 margin used for 1:100, but for 1:500 of 1 lot EURUSD = USD20 margin used only. Thus, if the lot size fixed, let's say in my method i only open maximum 10 lots in a single time, so 1:100 i'm risking USD1000 margin while 1:500 i'm risking USD200 only.

QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Feb 1 2010, 12:59 AM) Are you sure you are a trader? You lack even the basic understanding of a margin call. You are giving me a margin call example. For your example above, if you get a margin call, you get back your USD1000 for the 1:100 account and USD200 for the 1:500 account that was used as a margin for your 1 lot. You cannot lose the USD1000 or USD200 as they are your margin and not your risk. So where is the risk there? Good gosh. You have no understanding of money management. You seem to have mixed up risk with margin here. Guys, please do get back to your books and fully understand what trading is all about before even trying. I'm not saying that you will lose if you don't know everything but you'd definitely win more if you do. Part and parcel of being successful, not only in forex but also in life. Added on February 1, 2010, 12:02 amI'm still trying to figure out what your leverage has to do with your 2% risk position? I think you got it mixed up the same way as rstusa. Let me refresh again. But I still don't understand why everyone disagree the CFTC changing the leverage to 1:10, if less risky for lower leverage, why so many trader disagree it?

QUOTE(bluffy83 @ Feb 4 2010, 03:39 PM) Is it ok to go naked first and after see a profit, I,ll start to put my SL. Just try it today. Still ok i guess. From now on all my trade will cost me 0 if it really touch SL. My SL was my Entry point now but I need to wait for a right moment. Looks risky. Maybe I need a very huge capital for this strategy.. If you want to take risk of your trading method, yes, increase your capital instead of the lot size. Eg: your current lot size is 0.1 lot with capital USD1000, so now increase your capital to USD10K, but you still using 0.1 lot to trade, just my 2 cents.

QUOTE(kevler @ Feb 5 2010, 11:03 AM) normally 85 pips ...but if i discovered any ranging , either i close the trade with 35-45 or i let it flow ... usually , i will see monthly chart to do analysis . if monthly chart shows bearish , i will keep my trade as bear and vice-versa. but need to make sure your money management is really suits you . Normally i use 25-35 points but easily hit target, maybe next time i'll set higher, thanx for the advise. Although earning will be slower but monthly chart will be more safe compare to hour chart. Trailing stop is the best tool to profit if we know how to use it correctly. This post has been edited by rstusa: Feb 5 2010, 10:15 AM

QUOTE(kevler @ Feb 9 2010, 03:47 PM) [attachmentid=1441984] On the weekly dollar index chart, prices found the their lows around the 74.00 support region, where a Short C), sub-wave of a corrective blue wave B is complete. The market has already advanced by more than 500 points since the 74.19 lows were reached, which suggests that a new bullish trend is in progress with an impulsive start. Traders should see a bullish continuation over the coming weeks, towards the minimum 81.00-82.00 objective. credit to TheLFB Hi, this graph is until end of January?

Don't forget Payoneer side charge a 3% of withdrawal.
