Oanda is having connection issues… AGAIN! Don’t know if it’s specific to just their mobile app for the iPhone, or an issue for all of their platforms… this seems to be a recurring problem

Hi Jade, Granted, this weeks rise in the EURGBP was due to the short-term neg correlation in price between the EURUSD (rising) versus the GBPUSD (falling), which as you stated is a "rare" occurrence, since in general, the price movement of these two ...

Hi yoriz, For any given logic event that opens a series of trades with an incremental change in the parameter set (take profit target, stop losses, etc.), what's the correlation between those trades (winning vs. losing)? If the correlation is high - ...

Hey yoriz, With all due respect, and I know that nub doesn't need to be defended (please don't bash me nubcake!), but his martingale thread was "tongue and cheek"... to his credit, nubcake has been a long-time (since at least 2009) vocal critic of ...

Hi Yoriz, I honestly don't know. I had written a long response to your post, but I didn't have any extensive back testing data to back up my response, so I deleted it. For me it's more of a psychological crutch; I'm less like to blow my account when ...
