Friday thoughts‏ from Andy

Wild week this week.... Definitly wild, the 1200 or so pip moves on Wedcertainly helped trading and the loss's that occurred on the EUR/CAD daybefore..

I am pleased to hear that quite a few are 20%- 40% up on the accounts sincethey started as well as this month alone.... This tells me we are on theright track...

We are still working on a more streamlined website, trying to simplify it asmuch as possible. For this weekend my suggestion is to review your tradestyle, make sure it is what you want..

G20 meeting thru Sunday, so I will shut down for the weekend and restartMonday...This is also the last 2 weeks of the quarter, expect some repositioning andsetup for some retracements/consolidations that will startup the july - septarea as most of EU will be vacationing.

I have been noticing quite a few are reapplying templates constantly....

Here is my suggestion,


IF your using your personal computer for demo, do as you wish... But themore things that you run, the internet may get slower , and that can affectyour trading.

If it is a LIVE account, spend the 400-500 bucks and BUY a dedicatedmachine, or click on the ForexVPS link on the website and setup the VPS. ITIS WORTH YOUR MONEY. We have 3 VPS accounts, and I also run 2 dedicatedtrading computers at my house, so don't skimp on it..

You should Not have to reapply each day, I don't, I reset each machine onSunday, basically turning them off on Friday and restarting Sundayafternoon. IF your switching timeframes a lot, let me know, it could bepartly the issue, I will attempt to get around it.


On another note, TEXT, since we have quite a few newbies in the group, Iwill reiterate the TEXT, a TICK or 2 may enter you into a trade when theTEXT never changes, ALSO demo vs live can be different in pips andcalcuations of the internal algorithms... Even between people.


1st is the calcuations, If the market is moving, then you may not see thetext change , as that DOES cause flickering which I consider annoying.. Soit is last on the list to be done. And if another tick does come in , thenit is skipped.


So if the text doesn't change , and you think it should, then reapplying thetemplates will not help as since it RESETS everything, you may not get intoa trade you need to get into. Or get into a bunch you don't want to...Again. The calc's are first , and the program will do it's job whether ittells you everything or not....unfortunately the MT4 platform causesthese issues, and my job is to basically make sure the TRADING is accurate,more than display....


Build 1032 will be out soon, this will automatically refresh the screen once, each time of your time settings so if your 1pm to 5pm, it will make surethat text is refreshed at 1pm and 5pm...

Also it should smooth out some calls to the internet as well.


Thanks for everything, we are definilly doing well..
