I am interested in trading full-time on my own, and not work for some company. I hope some of you can share your experiences with my concerns or questions in this thread.

Do you use MT4 to trade live or just for demoing? I know some use MT4 for the signals, but then trade on their real platform. I had tried that, it does not work too well since I must always keep an eye on the charts especially if using an EA to control one's position, that is, multi-take profit levels.

I presume that your livelihood [your bread and butter] is the profits you make from your forex trading account, do you ever have any issues withdrawing from your account? With all these news I hear of people having issues getting their money, it makes me wary with whom I should have a full-time trading account with. If you do not mind, may I know who your broker is? Do you use more than one to trade forex?

Does the broker you use hunt for stops or do you not put it in? I got burned many times using SL, price will just move back to trigger the STOPs, and then move on its merry way to the intended direction.
