I wasn't very fond of the forex.com platform....I converted my account to an Forex.com-MT4 account and am happy with my forex.com account now.
lol...only you! Hows trading been treating ya? You signed on over at tfxh?
I think that the Oanda interface, once familiar with, is by far the simplest platform for trading. Especially if you like to scalp. Good stuff it is.

naa...take your time and don't MC. lol
+1k That's all?
Just messing with ya!
Was a good Super Bowl game wasn't it? Lots of action going on.
lol...margin call? gotta run for the day, peace and good trading!
good...cause I have 5 positions opened in 5 different pairs. lol
i created the repository...you should have access. It's in the forum at the bottom. Nothing in it yet, just setting up the permissions and testing it out.
yes it can.
Yes I did. I have been looking into some concepts using similar to what you sent. I have an ongoing concept that is working quite well for the moment. Let me finish that one up and i'll dig deeper into the trend line indicator.
I will post some resources at tfxh that I have been using. I know java quite well, so that's a big help. I just created a repository for my coding, whoever wants access, send me a pm over at tfxh and i'll grant you access...who are you at tfxh? I didn't see you in the list.
I'm working on some interesting concepts. I'll send you copies to try out whenever I'm done....i'm gonna create a repository over at tfxh so I can just dump them there. One issue that i'm learning now is how to ensure that the code affects only trades made by the specific ea. As of now, my trailing stops will trail the stops on ANY positions that are currently open in the account. lol quite disastrous really....i'll get it under control with a good ole "Magic Number" as it's called.
If you ever have any concepts that may translate into an EA, let me know over at tfxh and i'll throw it together.
Peace
I've been doing quite well. My strategies have advanced greatly and I feel my money management abilities have greatly improved. I have moved over into the MT4 world and am currently attempting to develop a rather complex EA for testing purposes. Should be interesting anyway. It has been a while since i've touched my demo, hopefully I can put my knowledge to work rather than gamble away for a win.
good deal. Thanks my friend.
Is trading a "go" for this comp right now? Any rules i'm missing. I dug through the old posts and didn't really see any specific rules. I believe past rules were 2 trades a week, no gold or silver...same rules?
Is it too late to join?
I love the live chat....instant support.
I have fixed spread at forex.com as well. It's very nice in my opinion. They fluctuate a little, but not to 20 pips like a fractional account. I prefer the stability of the fixed spread account.
Just a quick note about forex.com
if you get a Forex.com Metatrader 4 account, you are able to trade as low as 1k lots. The regular Forex.com account will let you trade 10k and up. I like using fractional sizes for my strategy...such as 12000. This is very useful and isn't noted on their site.
That's an easy answer! Wherever the market chooses I guess, rather than where Japan wants them. Not trying to sound like a smartbutt in this post, so please don't take it as such. My personal opinion is that usd/jpy will bounce around in the massive range of 87.00-94.70 for a while. Going forward, the last couple of days, i'd say it will test the bottom of the range. I would be willing to buy at the bottom of the range with a tight stop at about 86.50 or so. My overall outlook at the moment is to sell cross/jpy, eur/usd, gbp/usd on rallies and buy usd/cad, usd/chf on dips. Until these trends are bucked, i'll continue to trade in this manner. I really don't care to think about where a currency will be, but rather where it is now. If one thinks too far ahead, they could be considered a wannabe fortune teller...we all know how that works in the forex market. Anyway, this is my last post of the day. SherriT you should feel privileged to get my last post! Or is that the first post? Peace and good trading. I'm still waiting for someone to get my question right! Remember FREE access to tfxh!
Crazy
Like NZD did...it useless and will not make a difference other than during the small point of time when they are actually taking action. Unfortunately I can't see your attachment. The only ways that Japan could re-value their currency is to 1. Fix their economy. 2. US, Europ, Mexico, Canada, Russia, China, Japan, etc.. all intervene to revalue the Yen. This would include us here that are short eur/jpy, usd/jpy, etc. It's not feasible, nor do we want to trade against the free market.
Sounds like you've been busy hand having some fun! Can't really say the same for myself....pretty bored really. You didn't get the answer to the question, but since you tried, you get free access to tfxh. hehe Anyone else up for the stupid question? C'mon you get something free out of it! Also, I don't know if kevetching is a typo, or whether its the same as kvetching, but kvetching is the word referenced.
peace
crazy
the real question is how can they stop it?
I don't know how long you've been trading forex, but it wasn't that long ago that Japan basically said we will be fine until the exchange rate gets to usd/jpy 100.00 This was shortly after the fall began from the 120's. They implied that they would intervene at 100.00. hehe Also, NZ got the bright idea of intervening with the market back in the .50's and .60's. They were able to move the market about 100-200 pips on friday evenings, only to find NZD/usd at .80+ a few weeks later. In my opinion, an intervention to weaken the yen would be suicide....resulting in massive inflation that would not be sustainable by the Japanese govt. Opinions?
MT4 is quite nice, but can be rather complex. It is an API meaning that you can program it to trade automatically, or you can just trade manually. If you don't plan on doing any programming, I don't recommend using it. You can also program your own indicators. If you go to forex.com and click on platforms, then metatrader, you can open a MT4 Forex.com demo account. If you want to use MT4 with a live account, you either have to open a second account for MT4 Forex.com or fill out the Internal Transfer form.....which they will lose when you fax it to them for the first time. But that's ok, cause you can get them on chat support the next day and keep them in session until you fax the form for a second time and make them walk to the fax machine to confirm that they received it.
Not funded...i moved all my money to forex.com so I can lose it using MT4...i'll re-fund that at another date. I have an FXCM account as well. I'm getting tired of having 3 accounts as it's too much of a hassle. I think i'm going to keep my Oanda account as well as my forex.com account and close the FXCM one.
No one took a stab at my question? Sigh...if you missed it, it can be found in this post

Easier yet, here it is again:
"I'm bored cause I can't trade I guess. So you get to hear my kvetching until my 15, now 10 posts are up for the day. Can anyone tell me what popular(or lack there of) person uses the ignorant word kvetching waaaaaayyyyyyyy toooooooo much? If you get it right, you get free access to tfxh. hehe. Shhhh Daiello"
Sounds like a plan. I see resistance coming in at first 132.15 then 133.65, both of which are fib levels. I would consider selling a small position at the first resistance, then perhaps adding to it at 133.60 with a stop for both positions up around 134.75 or so. That's probably my plan...at least it would be if I had a frekin' account at the moment!
Peace
Crazy
I would like to see it move to the upside so I can short it from there. If that answers your question...
I'll consider shorting usd/jpy around 91.70 or so if given the opportunity.
Another day of sitting and watching the market I guess. Still no account....sigh
You can use whatever source you want for charts, however, Oanda's chart should be sufficient. Unless you require weekly or monthly candles....not necessary in my opinion.
But you said blackberry!
Thanks Jester, i'll give that a try! Looks like it may work. hehe
i don't know how to email a blackberry.
hehe
no forex.com
Perhaps they are slow because I told them that I wrote a program that consists of 3 lines of code that's going to break their bank? I dunno...
