who on here actually makes money trading?

I used to suspect the SB company too. Now I don't. The markets are like that, except in individual equities.

That's a mistake IMO. You should never trust them. You should get an independent charting package, so you can compare the prices.

No, it's not a wind up. I am telling you my experience. But then the trades I was playing with were scalping trades. For longer time frames, the effect of short term manipulation is not as severe.

It has to be a wind up. Nobody could believe what you wrote. Forex averages $4 trillion per day, of which I would guess well over a third is EURUSD. You're lighting up the market with a £10 bet?

Yes, I have that power. If you give me £10 + deposit for the potential 20 pip loss, I can demonstrate for you, live. I will even throw a dice to choose a random direction for the trade. I don't play this game with my own money any more.

You are right Joe, you have a reputation in the market, your accounts have been marked and you are being constantly watched. Big players are watching your trades and as soon as you enter your £10 stake we trade big in the opposite direction.

There is a picture of you on our targets wall at our FX trading desk.

Sure, no problem, cheque's in the post.

Will you do me a favour though? If I give you an extra fiver will you put the price of gold up for me? Just by a couple of hundred points or so, I've got some krugerrands in the shed that I'm looking to unload.

No. I happen to believe the market reaction was caused by a simple computer algorithm, as it was unhumanly consistent.

Have to agree, if Boston Technologies made the Virtual dealer plug in for MT4 I am sure other SB companies have their very own software for their platforms.

If you give me a couple of k's, I can have a play with gold to see how I can move the price for you. Then you can go big when I am ready.

No need for 2 large surely? I mean, if you can move EURUSD with a £10 bet, we should be able to put gold up to $1800 just by buying one of these, £14.99 from Argos:

Continuing on from yesterday. I am now up 700 big ones. I need 300 more then I am out with my equity SB.

 

[DashRiprock]

surely this is a wind up

You have 700 copies of Big Ones? Wow, and I thought I was an avid fan. I didn't even know that Big Ones ran for 700 issues. Juggs R Us really took its market away.

 

[BeginnerJoe]

Nope. I always describe real experiences from a funny angle. That's what makes it fun.

 

[DashRiprock]

hey Joe if you want more bank for your 10 pound per pip, buy or sell - it doesn't matter which way, you said so yourself - but do it precisely at 1:29:55.

that'll teach them nasty brokers!

The joke is with Dash. He knows what I mean by big ones.

No, I will wait awhile on the banks. I am more with the hedggies right now, you know ?

 

[Pazienza]

I like Joe. He's a chuckle .

 

[rawrschach]

My friend £10/pip, i.e. one lot, won't even move the thin as hell futures market in cable

Dash knows Big Ones all right. Have you seen his thread? Eyes on stalks, baby.

 

[BeginnerJoe]
