"Hi Shay..is Sc sierra charts, sorry to be dim...also what data feed do you use and what is the cost..
Many Thanks Dave"
Sorry havent been on the forum since my last post. Yes SC is Sierra chart and as i am only using Bashirs method to trade currency pairs i get SCs data feed for real time and historical forex for £17/month which is dirt cheap. SC offer about 24 currency pairs. I have given up on the eminis and am managing well with the currency pairs. Bashirs method works a treat.The markets are generally a lot less volatile and they trend much more IMHO. I have set SC up with about 16 chartbooks each one for a currency pair and just scan tthrough them looking for a setup (eg all time frames for GBP/JPY or EUR/USD or whatever are either above or below the 89ema and then go long or short and scalp the trend.
I am using the "etoro" demo platform which is simple for country boys like me and i have started to make consistent profits and have not had a losing day for the last ten days. ( My early attempts till i got used to the platform and the way the markets move were not good. I had my best day today and have taken just over two grand so far. Currently waiting for the Far East and Aus to open. Can trade 24 hours a day if i want so can pick and choose when to trade.
I rekon when I am ready to go live i will continue to use SC as i like their charts and will look for a broker who will give me direct access entry to the exchanges without having a broking desk in between. I believe that "etoro" operates as an intermediary and take the other side of my trades and they fade the spread.depending on which way the market moves. Thus in a falling market the sell price leads the market by 4-5 pips never mind their spread as aswell.....visa versa in a rising market (Bit like spread betting companies......sharks!)
Has anyone else taken a look at currency pairs and checked out how often at least two or three pairs can be found to trend and how often price apprears to move above or below all resistance or support on Bashirs chart time frames. I recommend taking a squint when you are at a loose end.
Regards and best wishes
Shay
Hi Shay,
i would suggest you check out IB's forex platform, that have spreads as tight as 1 pip - very good for scalpers like you and me - I am currently trying them. Good thing is that you can trave alot many markets, instruments, and currency pairs through one account.
let me know if you feel good about them or any other broker for forex.
regards
