Go to any bank, open a domiciliary account. Get wire transfer details from your broker, go back to your bank with the details and ask them to initiate a wire transfer.

i will use this weekend to review all of them... thanks for all your support.. since ASUU don strike, i will have time to arrange my self for a big gamble....
Re: My Open Forex Trade Journal by Zither(m): 7:00pm On Jul 06, 2013
Sammy, you said your strategy borders on supply and demand analysis. I have also seen potential in it since it is supply and demand that moves the market. The fact is that building a strategy around it using technical analysis seems to be a different matter entirely. Do u have a strategy based on it? I am still on demo and am a reversal and divergence trader. I am currently working on a strategy that rhymes with my personality. I shall be contributing my discoveries and results and also sharing what I have learnt...profits and losses.

Nice thread.

Yeah but I have never done anything with them before but those listed above. Yes I have account with the two and am sure of their transparency and Hotforex is registered in Mauritius. You may wanna think again.

Sincerly I've been strugling with that strategy, reason why i haven't been posting much. The only strategy that has made me consistent profit is S&R on d daily timeframe. Made over 200pips last week,so i gues I should stick with it. rather than switch. I'm also on Demo tasting d strategy but would prefer testing it wit a small live account. U r free post ur results here as well.

To be honest with you, it is hard to realize consistent profit without reasonable knowledge of fundamental analysis. Important economy news can disrupt your technical analysis even thought it seems right. These your strategies are bases and am sure it works but just like every other strategies it lag during news release

Try not to trade during news release that way you will understand it better, monitor economy news more. Jonathan (Good-luck) lol

That is the more reason you must follow the news day-trading is more suitable for technical traders but for me irrespective of your style of trading you need knowledge of both technical and fundamental analysis but few people succeed with one though.

On whatsapp yes but don't use it often, dump the phone in one corner

responding to economic news would surely distract me from my chart analysis.
Therefore i only look at the "few" major release and close the trade or set my sl at breakeven point,if there is a major reaction.
There are two types of traders Technical and Fundamental. I hv to be aware of d other but focus one.

I'm no pro(yet),never said i'm one.
Its clearly you are a fundamental trader, and I'm technical. What works for you wont work for me. You trade based on news impact, I trade based on traders reaction.

Would start posting my results from tomorow.

Happy pipping week ahead

from my general understanding, you use larger time frame to look for trends(trading opportunity ) and use a smaller time frame to enter a trade....

Forecast is the general anticipated figure, actually is the real value that was released while previous is the Preceding value of the same economy release. % percentage, k thousand (344k) B Billion, T trillion.

For instance using Unemployment claims for example, if the actual figure is less than forecast that means the economy is getting better and more people are getting off unemployment, which translate to more jobs and vise versa.
