well they did not. Made some piss poor excuse that there is a difference between ask and bid price, it was almost insulting to me as if i didnt know what price is executed when i buy or sell or when a SL or TP is hit.... im not bothered arguing it ...

I understand all this and i would agree if it were not for two things: 1) the same spikes are not seen on any other broker. 2) when a spike is unfavourable for me it takes me out, if it is favourable for me it doesnt work my way. For example, two ...

to be honest my current trading account is all over the place with 10+ trades running at the same time sometimes. it will just get too messy! i want a clean separate account for it.

@ Vistor ray - well good luck with that. i dont discredit what you are saying in your second post. i too have thought about the idea of "gambling" $200-$300 a pop to make it big. i currently use a strategy that is netting my 75% win rate with 1:1. ...

Because we are talking about risking a percentage not a fixed $ amount.Although, in reality, if you keep losing you will get to a point where your broker won't allow you to trade anymore since you probably won't meet margin requirements. But, ...

you will never make it with 50/50 with 1:1. I hope you know this??? that is the same result if you just randomly get in a trade whenever and do TP and SL at 1:1. This is like the "default" forex stats when you have no strategy. Ofcourse you can get ...

well yes, ofcourse it is, i know this. but when the same spike is not seen on any other broker alarm bells start ringing. I've had trades open over weekends before, no issues, i know spreads widen and such, but this spike is something else. I am not ...

whats the confusion??? London open is at 8am(local time) which is currently GMT +1 due to DST, otherwise it is GMT. so ignore the 8am-9am candle and trade the next candle. What is so confusing?

why not increase candles for calculating ATR??? why not even use ADR instead? @ spyderman - what broker are you with? your spreads look nice for non-majors.
