Forex Howto

I’m not sure if I messed up though for some reason my EA had a very quick loser when the Automated Trading Championship started.
Or maybe I messed something up in the last minute changeover to running on 1 minute time frames instead of 5 minutes. Oh well we’ll just have to wait and see and [...]

Having a domain name like Forex Howto really needs to have some tips to help new traders get a bit of a headstart in the world of FOREX trading.
If you’re a new FOREX trader, I’m not going to tell you how to make money, I think you’ll be much prouder when you figure it out [...]

It’s coming up to 2 years since I last wrote on my blog… I feel it’s about time that I revamped the blog and started to post again.

OK, well maybe not EVERYTHING (you still need to make sure it’s going the right way), though it is extremely important when you are highly leveraged.
Since I’ve started working with real money I’ve lost money Luckily it hasn’t been a lot (I’m currently down by 1.44%). The main reason for my losses has been [...]

I’ve been giving my FOREX trading a rest and have been playing with mechanical trading systems which I’ve developed using languages that I’m happy with (I’m not 100% happy with MQL4).
