DF Contest en General Mar 26, 2012 at 10:36

Ahhh! Grand.The problem was in my system, and it has been resolved. By using the repair option in the MT4 uninstall setup, I can now Login to DF Markets as it should be.(Idiot me should have tried the repair feature BEFORE typing the previous post!)Sorry.

DF Contest en General Mar 26, 2012 at 10:32

This morning at 05:00 London Time, I got disconnected from the DF Market Demo Sever that is hosting this competition.When I run the MT4 program, it stays "No Connection" regardless of what I do. If I try to create a new Demo account through the usual procedure, the MT4 software shows the Demo Server as inactive.I have two other Broker Demo's running, One in USA (MBTrading) and the other in England (FXCM) for the purpose of confirming that MY connection is working fine in both continents, while the DF Markets connection is NOT.I am not implying or stating that DF Markets has '...

I just had a 0.84 lot buy trade that was up 20 pips. (In the competition)I closed it, and the lots got sold separately (I watched them slowly ticking off) and by the time the trade closed, it hit me down $400.LOL and this is in demo mode, I would hate to have that happen in live mode.My broker spread on GbpJpy is 5 pips to 6 pips average.FXDD is 9 pips.BMI.

The whole NFA 'rule' story is pathetic. There is not one SINGLE trader that likes or agrees with the no hedging and limit on hedging rules. A great number sent E-mails OFFICIALLY opposing the NFA 'rules' (They are not rules, they are guidelines and have no legal standing as ratified law) yet NFA overides the general consensus for our 'safety'When our opinion means absolutely zero, we know we are living in a Fascist State.The way FXDD got around the NFA joke is through FXDD Malta.Just as FXCM got around it by FXCM London, just as (in the end) all brokers will end up send...

System - Competitiom Entrants en Buzón de sugerencias May 06, 2010 at 16:36

It would be nice if we had either a page where all the contest entrants are listed so we can see their progress.Alternatively an extra option on the system page saying "Contest Entrants"We are absolutely in the dark at the moment as to who is running first or last. We do not know how many entrants there are. A small bit of info In the Contests Tab might be useful.BMI

LOL, I checked the rule page again (Yes the only source of info regarding this contest that there is. No leaderboard page, no number of contestants data, no page that links to graphs, right just one page with rules is all we get)And the competition only starts at 7:00 AM EST.A pity, because there is a great trade forming on GbpJpy as I am typing this :(Oh well, such is life.

Graph Details en Buzón de sugerencias May 05, 2010 at 04:09

The graphs shown are based on balance while the equity is not shown. This can be misleading if one trades a hedging based system.I quite often trade a hedge scalping based method, and what happens is that lets say I have a long position open. It is not really relevant to the system whether or not this position is profitable. It's primary purpose is by being there and being open.So for example. It is 1 lot, and is 85 pips in the red. Each peak reversal one reaches, the opposite short trade of equal lots gets placed. This short gets closed at the bottom of the cycle. And each trough low, a 1...

I read the manual three times already and it STILL doesn't say it will trade for me. It seems I will have to do it myself <GRIN>If it starts at Midnight EST, we have 30 minutes to go but it is surprising how little detail is being supplied.So we are all playing the guessing game right now.Maybe I should check that manual again <GRIN SOMEMORE>

Thanks. You might have noticed, I edited in my idiot missing of the rules in the previous post.Two things that are appropriate to know is that the margin call at FXDD kicks in if it drops below 100%. The same thing happened to me in the SureFire compettition which is currently running. So without knowing this, I had assumed that margin call was at 50% as my two brokers are, (MB Trading and Go Markets), which disqualified me. They did allow me to re-enter though. Which brings me to the second item of importance.Only one entry allowed. You mess up and you are out!SureFire Prizes. (Direct Wire tr...

So the contest has just began... en General Apr 26, 2010 at 07:00

On entering the contest, A tick box with text that states 'I agree to the contest rules' waits to be ticked. But no link to the rules is offerred. No explanation of where the rules are is offerred. (Me DUMB - look below on the bottom of the page! The rules are there :) )In one of the posts prior to mine, it is mentioned that there are no MM restrictions. I am not familiar with what an MM is, anyone care to use words instead of acronyms?Also is scalping allowed?How much are we allowed to open the accounts opening balance at, and how is the winner chosen if the balances differ?Thank you...

Growth Chart en Buzón de sugerencias Apr 16, 2010 at 06:48

I mentioned this before, I bring it up again to refresh the memory.Before I mention it, I will give an explanation regarding why it is most useful.$100 traded 5 days in a row @ 4% gain per day = 100 * 1.04^5 = $121.67$100 traded 20 days in a row 4% gain per day = 100 * 1.04^20 = $ 219.11You get the idea...So when hovering over the little circle on the growth chart, the only % Gain/Loss shown is from inception of the account.It is useful to know the total Gain/Loss on the account, but that info is already shown in top left of the chart.Monthly, Weekly and Daily % Gain is very informative.It onl...

Twitter - updates en Buzón de sugerencias Mar 24, 2010 at 13:35

OK, here is what I did.I closed my Twitter connections, both in Myfxbook, and on Twitter Settings. Then I recreated the links on Myfxbook.They are now working 100% again. It must have been some corrupt data that crept in to something somewhere.I also used the prefix, and it is great. Simpler than separate Twitter accounts for each Forex system.

Twitter - updates en Buzón de sugerencias Mar 24, 2010 at 11:39

Wise idea Elkart. Like perhaps a 2 character prefix. Should be enough to not exceed the length. "D1" for demo account 1, "L1" for live account 1 etc.Staff, I am sure that the Twitter thing will work itself out eventually. I will leave it for a few more days, and if it still continues I will cancel then re-open the Twiiter to Mfxbook link. That should fix some Gremlins have crept in there.Thanks.

Account Number and System Name en Buzón de sugerencias Mar 24, 2010 at 11:32

I tried using a name the first time I set up an account and it gave me a report that it could not find the account (or words to that effect.) that was november last year. perhaps I had done something wrong though, as I see that it does work now.Thank you.

Twitter - updates en Buzón de sugerencias Mar 24, 2010 at 00:23

for the past 2 days, my twitter feed has been eratic.My last trade shown on Tweeted was 9 hours ago (a sell of 7.9 lots) the trade was closed and another opened and closed after that. Yet the closing of that trade did not get Tweeted, neither the opening and closing of the following trade. Also several trades prior to the 7.9 lots trade did not get Tweeted.Something odd is happening there.My Live account is also set for Tweeting, could it be causing the problem as I did not set the setting to all accounts to tweet from the same setup?Also it does not Tweet the System Name, so one can not see o...

Account Number and System Name en Buzón de sugerencias Mar 24, 2010 at 00:06

When setting up an account, there is no edit field for the system name, and one can not set it up unless one uses the account number in the name field.My demo account '349482' has the same number as it's System Name. It would be useful and more descriptive to use a name, like 'BlueMental' as the system name.Strangely, I find many descriptive names for other peoples systems, but I can't set mine up with a name. Am I missing something, or are there separate name and acc number fields that I am not seeing?Thanks,BlueMentalAha. The name can be changed once the system is act...

Chart Profit/Loss % popup en Buzón de sugerencias Jan 06, 2010 at 16:25

Greetings.In the portfolio chart, if one hovers over the circle on the line graph, a popup of the monthly percentage gain/loss appears.It would be nice if together with that, the percentage for the day and the week also shows.Jan 6, M:-15.02% W:-1.24% D:+9.87%Something similar to the line above.Thank you.

Muiltiple Accounts with same Broker en Buzón de sugerencias Dec 18, 2009 at 23:24

They need not be at the same time, it is quick to log in to other account (this is not for scalping, so a few pips here or there makes little difference)Only thing that is to get them via the same broker, the loaded sata in the publisher is whichever one was last in.I suppose that running a second also does the trick...Just rename terminal as account number for ease of identification and slap a shortcut on the quicklaunch bar for each.(duh... never thought of that)Thanks.

Muiltiple Accounts with same Broker en Buzón de sugerencias Dec 18, 2009 at 14:14

Hi, I am currently running two demo accounts with the same broker.I am using the myfxbook EA, but it gets the ftp url and the passwords etc. from the publisher (which is disabled) data.It would be nice if the info could be added to the EA as external strings/integers and be taken from there which enables me not to have to change it in the publisher data to update each time.I have looked at the EA code, and I can see that the FTP path can be set to a separate path than used in the publisher, but I am not able to find if the same can be done with the password.It seems that this is something that...
