Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

Hadnt been paying attention the last couple of days but you are right. Did you catch any of it.

yesireeeeeeeeeee. back to uk tomorrow, so good morning to finish my trading week!

Just made a few on the retracement, and there was moneyweek predicting a crash in sterling this week! May be next...

We are just about start writing to a new GTIS feed which will have streaming spot, forward and outright forward rates for the following pairs. We will stream all of them on one page, what other tools would be useful as we now have the data? Sensible suggestions please Delboy and Daisy!


AUDUSD
EURCHF
EURDKK
EURGBP
EURJPY
EURNOK
EURSEK
EURUSD
GBPUSD
NZDUSD
USDCAD
USDCHF
USDDKK
USDHKD
USDJPY
USDNOK
USDSEK
USDSGD
USDZAR

As you've got a SEK feed, Doris, the Dollar Index (USDX) would be useful imo.

USDX = 50.14348112 EURUSD^(-0.576) USDJPY^(0.136) GBPUSD^(-0.119) USDCAD^(0.091) USDSEK^(0.042) USDCHF^(0.036)

Daisy: Ruddy heck, i failed O'levels maths but got O'level woodwork so you lost me at the first = sign :-). I'm sure someone here went to Uni and did maths.

possible to have gbp/jpy.........can be a luverly mover.........!

goforit. These are the ones in our current feed, I'll look at the pair for you

bought some USD/CHF at 1.0036

Bullie/Doris/Mike: I'll give you a call. (I feel strangely uncomfortable with that Doris moniker . . . )

My mother nearly called me that :S

And before you say anything - she wasn't English.
Well that's the only excuse I can come up with ;)

Oh, 'ello, Choccie. Don't get me wrong, it's alright on a girl. But Mike? As for Daisy, we used to have a Guinea pig called that . . .

Hi Hils
I now MT4 reinstalled and working. Any help you can give me in setting up some indicators would be appreciated. (remember I am a TA novice so think Janet and John) I use the moneyam PM to send you my email address.

Edit
I see yours is not enabled, so I have enabled mine.

Have you still got your dsl pipex a/c, Jeffie? Let me know, otherwise I'll pm you with mine.

Hils
Yes, still the pipex acct

OK, I've just spent my lunchtime rattling you off an email instead of having a swim. Let me know if there's a problem.

Hils
What can I say, I feel guilty now and my beef and coleslaw sarnie just wont taste the same. I can see the email on netmail but cant get to the attachment so will do as you say when I get home. Thanks for your time and I will be in touch.

Wheres Humbug

Right, time to come clean and hopefully this story will be a warning to others out there. Got back to trading a few weeks ago after an enforced break and well, all I can say is since then its been an absolute disaster. Anything and everything is gone wrong for me and its really shaken my confidence in my abilities to trade at all. It all started after I had some severe funding issues to resolve with my property investments (Not sure I can blame my situation on that; maybe it was just coincidence that it all started happening from that point, who knows) Since then Ive just been overtrading, entering trades on a whim, moving stops, cutting profits basically gambling really.

Talk about self sabotage. Ive been trading for years, actively from around 2000/1 when I was lurking on the then advfn BBs and basically full time for about a year and pretty reasonable successfully during this period as well. I see other names I recognise on the Traders Thread from around the advfn time and see that they have matured, developed and are succeeding but Im apparently back to square one.

I have always had a discretionary element to my trading that has been hard to quantify. Over the past couple of months I taught myself how to program Tradestation thinking I could easily come up with an automated strategy to trade the Forex and US Indexes so that all the emotions and discretionary part of my trading would be taken away. The theory - leave it running, check it now and again and just take the money! Not having much success there either. Coming from an IT background the programming part is very, very easy but making money through it, is proving as elusive as ever. Help! Think I need to sit down and revaluate things and stop digging this hole any deeper. Feel a bit better getting this off my chest and posting.

Hopefully others will benefit from this in that no matter how long youve been trading in any capacity the Trading Demons are out to get you if you lower your guard and let them in.

Freemanfox, I know the feeling.

Have made some pretty disastrous trades this last fortnight all caused by greed and not playing by my rules.

This week however I am being vert strict with myself and the trades are starting to come good again.

Hang in there.

Thanks Keaydian,

Thing is, because there has been an element of discretion to my trading previously can I get back to trusting myself and my abilities?
