trendline trading strategy Replied 11 months ago - Start drawing the trend line from the begining of the trend, and make good that the trend line touches the pullbacks on the trend (see blue circle in chart image). Remember to use the "trend line tool" to draw your trend lines, you can find it in your toolbox panel

what is the meaning of minimum deposit when opening a forex trading account? Replied 11 months ago - Minimum deposit is the smallest amount you will be allowed to deposit into your forex trading account at all times. Minimum deposit is a big deal because it decides whether or not you can afford to trade with that broker. There is no point opening a forex trading account when you cannot afford to deposit money into it, you might as well look for a broker with an affordable minimum deposit to match your financial circumstances. If you attempt to deposit below the broker's specified minimum deposit amount, the submit button will be disabled to prevent you from completing the transaction. You can try it for yourself and see.

I lost a trade due to internet downtime, would a forex vps have prevented this? Replied 11 months ago - sorry about your loss, I think take profit targets should be realistic and not based on greed 🤣but i feel you though. As for forex vps i have not used one before but i understand its for hosting trading robots and not for manual trading. I may be wrong and stand to be corrected.

what is ask price line & bid price line in forex Replied 11 months ago - For MT5 users, go to your chart settings and enable bid price and ask price line, you will see two lines appear on your chart. The upper line is the ask price line while the lower line is the bid price line. Bid Price Line For a buy trade protected with a stop loss, when the bid price line touches your stop loss line, then your stop loss will come to life and you get closed out. Ask Price Line For a sell trade protected with a stop loss, when the ask price line touches your stop loss line, you get closed out too. Do Not Disable The Bid/Ask price Lines I do not think you should disable the bid/ask price lines from showing on your screen even though they may seem like a burden. These lines help you know when your stop loss is about to come alive even without price reaching it. Many new traders wonder why their stop loss was hit when price didnt get to it, and now you have a clue as to why.

what lessons did you learn from sway markets collapse? Replied 11 months ago - I used them too and i think one red flag was when they stopped offering MT5 and developed their own trading platform (sway charts) which turned out to be very unstable and led to many traders losing money to the platform errors. I even heard people say the sway charts platform would duplicate orders, open orders on its own etc. and sway markets never refunded most of these traders till they folded up. Now, the reason for their folding up remains unclear; some say they were aquired by liquid brokers but liquid brokers only does corporate clients so what happens to retail accounts? I read on finance magnates that sway markets still operates a prop firm which is surprising given that they are yet to unsettle claims of many traders who allegedly traded with them when they were sway markets. For me, i dont trust brokers who dont offer the MetaTrader platform because i beleive that brokers can easilt maipulate platforms they built by themselves. Sometimes when a broker stops offering MetaTrader it could be that MetaTrader has revoked their license for unethical practices.

why was my forex funds prop firm shut down by U.S. regulators Replied 11 months ago - The case of My Forex Funds only came to light because the regulatory authorities in the United States were sharp and active. Now imagine what these prop firms are doing in countries where the regulatee is ahead of the regulator. 🤦‍♂️

Is it worth it being a funded trader? Replied 11 months ago - Consider this before you ask the question of prop firms being worth it: 1. You don't have capital and there is a prop firm that has history of paying out. You can go and buy a funded challenge and get paid if you have a strategy. 2. Any payout and prop firm trading gains are temporary as prop firm trading is not trading. You will learn nothing and you are not doing something that is long term sustainable. Any money in trading can only be made if you fund your own capital and respect it and trade it with discipline. Just get the money from the challenge or your own and fund it with an actual broker.

is FXPesa legit, how are their services? Replied 11 months ago - Yes, FxPesa are legal in Kenya. They are a CMA licensed non-dealing online forex broker. Are they good or bad, that is another question. I've never traded with them so I don't know. But their spreads are not low. 1.4 pips on eurusd on Standard account. Around 0.7 pips (0 pips plus 7 USD roundturn commission) on Premier account.

Many prop firms dont encourage EA use, do they want you to fail? Replied 11 months ago - I agree with you. I'll also add that funding challenges is not real trading. The emotions you have when trading a real account with your own money is not the same as when you are trading a demo or a funded account. Most funding challenges are designed to ensure that you lose your challenge fees, that is the business model, make traders lose their challenge fees. If you've read the public data on any so called 'Prop firm' that makes it public (or were forced to), less than 1% of the traders ever make it to funding stage. And a very small percentage of them receive payout. And the prop firm can withhold your payout for whatever reason they deem to be against their terms. It is an unregulated business that is currently making a lot of money, filled with scammers. Be careful. Trading funded accounts or demo trading will not teach you anything about trading with real money. Unless you have money on the line, you will not know how you will behave different on price movements.

what is the minimum deposit for spreadex in the UK? Replied 1 year ago - Hi Amos, Spreadex minimum deposit is 1 GBP and when it is time to withdraw, Spreadex does not have any minimumm withdrawal. Somethings I noticed during my time trading with Spreadex: They have limited funding methods; they accept mostly cards and bank transfer deposits (no PayPal, no Skrill, no Crypto). You can deposit in GBP, USD or EUR currencies. Deposit time is instant but for their withdrawal it can take up to 2 working days to reach your account. However, they have something called "guaranteed same day payment" where you pay a fee of 25 GBP to guarantee that your withdrawal will reach your account on the same day you initiated it.

What is a Cent Account, which forex brokers have them? Replied 1 year ago - its an account where trading large volumes is forbidded. Lots of people tend to hate on cent accounts because the word "cent" rubs off the wrong way on their ego and on their dreams of becoming millionaires through forex trading 🤣. Hate to break it to such people but you cannot become a millionaire trading forex and yes cent accounts are for you too! A cent account is basically used to try out untested strategies in a live market in such a way that any losses you sustain during the trial will be bearable. This is also the same reason why beginners should use cent accounts.

How to get perfect entry in forex Replied 1 year ago - its smart to always enter whenever prices closes below or above a notable opening or closing price in the past. For example we are in 2025 so if you notice price has fallen lower and closed below the closing price of 2024, then it may be time to sell. Take a look at the sp500 yearly chart i attached, each cande represents one year. You will notice that in 2025 the candle is red (bearish) and has closed below the 2024 closing price which signifies intense selling pressure. if you time your entry immediately after price has breached the 2024 high and retested it, it would be a perfect entry because the risk will be low as chances of price reversing back up immediately would be slim. You can place your stop loss at least 10 pips above 2024 closing price. This example also applies to monthly charts, weekly charts etc.

why do people knowingly trade with unregulated brokers? Replied 1 year ago - Many people patronize unregulated brokers because these brokers pass through celebrities and social media influencers to sell their brand. Unsuspecting victims usually assume that for their celebrity crush to be supporting a broker then the broker must be regulated, Unfortunately, this is seldom the case as most of the celebrities will support just about anything for a quick buck. I mean I have even read about unregulated scam forex brokers who sponsored premier league clubs like Chelsea so imagine that Chelsea fans were going to trust this broker eben without reconfirming if they were regulated.

what happened to kwakol markets website Replied 1 year ago - Disclaimer!!! This is my personal opinion on Kwakol Markets: Here in Nigeria, the EFCC is going after suspected ponzi scheme operators especially after the CBEX scam that embarassed the nations law enformcement agencies because people accused them of allowing scams to happen under their nose. Kwakol Markets is not a regulated broker(their ASIC license has expired) but they have been allegedly operating in Nigeria using influencers on social media for marketing and recruiting new traders. Today i checked and realized Kwakol Markets website has disappeared and they dont have a mobile app listed on google playstore or apple store so there may be no way for traders to withdraw their funds. In my opinion, i think the kwakol markets website shutdown may not be unconnected with the EFCC clampdown on suspected/alleged ponzi schemes. Kwakol Markets claim to have an office in Abuja so anyone in abuja can visit their office and share their findings on this thread. Let us know if their office is still open. Their office address as seen online is CONTACT US. Mall 169, Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Wuse ll, Abuja, Nigeria. [email protected].
