Having 1 account with marketiva (easy and convenient because i can easily fund my money with LR , but make sure that you keep this account with small amount) , 1 account with IBFX (so far so good) , according to my friend alpari-UK is great too, anyone here try alpari - UK ?
*
i used alpari-uk. quite low spread, but their problem is pricing is quoted with 5 digits, say EUR USD at 1.54321.
i find it very confusing,though they claim its advantageous in seeing a more accurate pricing.

lemme share another 1 of many "mind/emotion tools" that you can use in your trading plan to reduce greed affect; our mind can see and filter info.. but our subconcious mind will take everything as it is.. like a little kid so gullible..
What you can do to maintain your sane trading decision is by taking out profit and leave your original balance. Your subconcious mind will think your acct never grow and will not let you think that you're superman. Move the profit to another account or withdraw..
This is not suitable for someone who is already steady with their trading mind/decision or using EA.. but good for new trader who is struggling with growing his account.. once you reach a certain amt in the safe keep account you may use it to double your deposit.. that way your mind think its not profit made but money earn being risk to trade and will be more careful
*its an Art because you have to use Experience and Judgement to make decision.
*its Science because youre using Mathematical Process from past history to make decision.
its balancing both to reach your goal..

How bout for those who have yet to recover their losses

When market is trending sideways with no clear direction..the scalpers will make more money.. I like to use bollinger bands as a visual guide.. Indicators are just tools of the trade, do not rely on them for entry signal.. Learn to read price action.   

Anything lower than H1 timeframe is risky imho.. U can scalp on the H4.. use tight stop loss near the SNR around the upper and lower bollinger bands.

Can u spot my entry points?  biggrin.gif  Trade with the trend.. short position only.

Once u see price moves harmonically like this, its a no brainer. You can also use it in trending market..but require some experience..

Scalping on a 4hr TF??
I thot for scalping u shd use 1M or 5M right. Scalping means go in and out within few minutes right?
In few minutes a 4hr TF doesn't really change much.

I does intraday and uses 15M, but still use 4hr to see trend

Thanks for the feedback.

Nope, i didn't really do a due diligence on his claims. I also advise him to email the customer service. Din follow-up since then.

Yeah i saw a lot of fxopen advert on the street.

I was even surprised that they dare to advertised actively, even after BNm issued the circular on illegal trading.

For those who doesn't trade during news hours, what is your rule?

How many hour before news and how many hours after news, do you "fast' from trading?

And can i presume that news only refers to those important news, mainly red flags?

Not sure about other platform, if I am not mistaken for MT4 platform, yes, u have to leave your PC/laptop online.  Of course, u don't need to keep looking at your PC for your TS to work  biggrin.gif , set it and leave it online, and u can goto sleep liao.  Your MT4 platform will monitor the price and trail the stop accordingly as long as it is connected to the Server.
*
Even opening the pc whole nite (while i sleep) or whole day (while i go to work), defeat the purpose of TS.
i'm still lack of experience in TS, as my trades normally closes at the TP or SL.

Will experience using more of TS.

scar_face008, for me it's not to jump all in at once, I apply multiple entry for long term position. You might be right, might be wrong. In case you are wrong(very likely), you can add to your position at a better price. In case you are right, simply add more. Both ways, you win. Hope this helps  smile.gif

i kinda agree with "In case you are right, simply add more"

But i disagree with "In case you are wrong(very likely), you can add to your position at a better price". What if it's a reversal or a "BIG retracement?" it will cost a lot.

Hi i few basic questions, hope can get some basic answers from pros here.

1) Is there any website that I can view the fluctuation of currency in these past few days or weeks or months?

2) If i invest in euro, then the bank will change my RM to USD then to EURO? Y cant just direct change to EURO. Like that wont lose so much to foreign exchange right?
*
1. Yes.

2. Maybe that bank dun have the corresponding bank/currency for that transactions. EURO not so active in M'sia, maybe the dun keep stock or bank dun hadge against EURO, hence letu take the risk instead.
But not all bank the same, so ask around, i mean the bank, not forumers.

What do u mean pay some tuition fees? Im very interested in this since 2 or 3 yrs ago but got no clue how you guys play the retail.

ANyone kind enough to explain to me in layman's term? Not the technical stuff. After I understand the basic i can go into the deeper technical stuff myself. WHats the advamatge, disadvantage and risk ?

For example, unit trust the disadvantage is before u start u already lose your money to the agent/broker fee and stuff like that.
*
Lucky for u, if u find any "kind enuf" ppl. But definitely not me.
I've paid RM5k to Madam xxxx for a 2-day course. It doesn't make me a pro and doesn't help it winning me a lot of money.
But it help me in how to kick start, i.e. "the basic stuff", which cost RM5k to me. Then the hard part, i'll have to learn it myself, and i'm still learning.
