You will lost it back and if you can make money for the rest 3 months, I owe you a meal.

excuse me,
can someone explain what actually leverage means in forex,
pls do not answer on how it works.
thanx

"My leverage does not put me at risk. My leverage does not determine my order size. It is my stupidity that I over-leverage and open an order that my capital cannot support."

i repeat already.. =p

i already lost 10 usd but i gained back... actually u should give a bit of advise on how to maintain it instead of demoralised me.. anyway you should have more experienced than me...

he is just merely giving u a challenge and hopes that u could maintain ur consistency..

yea... thank you... hope fully

mac u can use vmware

Hi all,

Any Alpari Uk real account holder here? I am trying their demo now but i found something interesting on 18 Dec, which their lowest prices is 127.37 but the rest of the broker shown 128.09. Do your real account happen the samething?




Thanks

Is dat the dreaded "spike"? Must have stopped out alot of people there.

there is more than 70 pips different, that y need to get the clarification from those real acc holder whether they experienced the same thing. Not only Ej, but also GJ.

My FXDD real account shows 127.40.

Any idea why the different is so much?

Wheres the chatroom?

yeah, where izit? the discussion should be worth reading, any links. tq

Those are historical data. If you want to compare the brokers, you have to do it real time. Anything after that, you are just downloading historical data in the form of a text file. Accuracy is not guaranteed in historical data.

As we have discussed this many times, you are dealing against the broker and not the actual market. The agreement is between you and your broker and you cannot use the feed of other brokers to compare. You get what is fed to you from your broker.

ok,thanks

forexjr, wat bulkbiz said is true for us all 99% forex traders. They lose money 1st, only they gain, lose not mean demoralise, bt to gain exp on where we were wrong.

Imagine that ur a new worker jz got hired in a factory to operate a technically difficult machine without any skills, ur boss jz ask u to operate 'with ur own', u do not hv skills, so u operate it without exp n knowledge, according to the law of nature, u will hv many mistakes n scoldings by ur boss, thats frustrating, u might get it done properly the 1st time, bt not nex time. Bt throughout the years, from all the mistakes u learn sumthing, ur scolding become an opportunity to correct it. Finally, u not only learn to operate the machine thru time, bt u hv mastered a very useful skill, which nw ur boss really needed to generate productivity. Forex is the same as well, i assume u don hv sifu to guide u thru ur path, is all by ur own, so who will be ur sifu? ur exp, who will scold u? the markets. who will gain productivity? u n ur profits.

Is like wat many ppl said, u can have the best system in the world, bt u cant replace it wiv exp.. That is why many new forex trader when they win the 1st few trade, they 'thought' they were king, bt after they gt loses later, they feel that forex is not for them. So do persevere if u wan this to be ur career later on.

I fear that u might end-up in a 'king-kong syndrome', bt don worry, pls use good mm to cover ur 'mistakes', i saw u using 'hopefully' this word, be careful, in terms of psychology ur in a 'dreamland' my bro..

To ur trading success.

I'm sorry but we are not here to give free advice. This is not forex tips and hints. This is not a computer game where you can get a walkthrough guide all way to end game. No. This is real life. We learn by asking questions. This is not Malaysian high school where you sit there and get spoonfed with information. Nothing annoys us more than leeches who hangs around forums contributing nothing but expecting everything.

You ask the right questions and you'd get your answers. If you want to tell people of your success, then share it or shut-up. There's plenty of forex wannabes around and the problem is not restricted to this forum only.

If you want to share your first few days of trade that made you hundreds of pips, post your statement here and only then people can help you analyse and then give advice on where you went wrong on the entries that you lost.

Added on February 3, 2010, 9:21 amThe leverage is getting higher but I think at this moment 700:1 is the highest. The 1000:1 was a figure of speech to highlight the fact that the higher the leverage you have, the easier it is on your margin. Then again, he could have found a 1000:1 broker and not telling us about it.

Exactly,especially it is not profitable to wasting time bothering teaching someone holding their hands to success. And I certainly do not want/like 70-80% of my forum PM inbox filled with forex questions.
