Re: All About FXCM I have a live account with FXCM and I'm going to get out very soon. I traded during NFP last week and closed my position for a 21 pip gain, or so I thought. 2 minutes later, when the position finally closed, it ended up a 5 pip loss. This is doubly frustrating because my SL was at breakeven. I thought that this was maybe just because of volatility at NFP, but I set a new record today, when my position took 3 minutes to close and slipped another 20pips in the wrong direction. Even if you are a good trader, you probably aren't good enough to make money when your fills take 2 minutes and slip 20 pips against you. I'd advise AVOIDING FXCM UK.

Re: How Long You've Been in Business? I have been around for just over a year, and just started a live account. I have found the my interest in forex trading waxes and wanes like an oscillator. Recently I've been really pushing myself to plan trades better on the demo and only trade live when I have a high level of correlation between currencies. This site has been very helpful in helping me begin to understand trader psyc and as an intro to how EAs work.

Re: How to prevent fatigure or boredom when trading I have to agree with JoeCocker. Exercise is key. A friend of mine used to have a heavy bag and bowflew type machine in his office and could do a few reps or hit the bag between calls.
