Yes - I do have 2 brokers - but some brokers allow you to have both buys and sells open separately

Not too familiar with LMAX - you may need 2 account there etc - ie one scalping - one position or swing

ok .........I've been updating one indicator this morning and on the newer system I could have taken it at 9.26 absolute earliest..............however if I had taken GU then I would have been stopped in next few bars .......(unlike yourself who was already quids in)..........knife edge stuff ........interesting......

PS I have not yet got to multiple contract entries yet....(to leverage taking profits and leaving part on).........next week for that

usd is still nudging south but been ranging for last 40 mins ...........I missed the EU buy...........wasn't convinced that usd was supporting the bull euro

gotta run errands to sainsburies (spare me ) as guests at weekend .........nice people but they are a little smug (weve both had secure jobs for 100 years - poor you NVP !!) .............so I really cant wait to talk about no one wanting to give me a job........

and they think its a shame that I have been dabbling on forex for 14 years but i'm not a millionaire.........

cant wait !!!

No money in the bank or pocket.

Imagine if you have to make it before you go to Sainsburies.

Should be shopping at Aldi by the way.

I do it every day N

Its all down to times - PA - LR's - gameplan - levels - and working off a tick and one min chart

9 21 am was a turn on AU - GU and EU - not checked UJ - UC or UChf for now

The bots kick in and I am there with them - although not quite so quick - lol

I am into multi clues

The correlator can be one and I think is a very good general tool etc to assist you trading

But to trade and maximise your time and money - we need ideally 3 to 6 clues all lining up saying the same

If 2 clues say buy and 3 clues say sell - leave - sit on hands

If 5 clues all say sell and agree - a AAA+++ - 90% HIGH POSSIBILITY SCALP

Dont worry - I can get you there

 

[NVP]

just got nailed to the wall selling AU...........thought usd had breached north finally ....nope it turned and came south again
