(Martingale strategie)last wk, my acct. was blown away.

I traded the USD/CHF and price came down . so my Ea opened several diffferent trades ( about 18) when a retrecement came, Alpari did not close
all my trades to close in profit.
I was infront of my PC ( btw. trading over VPS Server) and could not close
my positions over hours.......context busy.....all the time.!!!

My Ea was successfull. traded in about 3 month 25% of initial investment.

If you have a successfull EA or strategie they flag you out and try to burn you.

I had the same experience years ago with CMS ( my first FX experience).

If you trade against an dealing desk you are not able to make money long term. The Broker ist your worst enemy!!

Is there any decent ECN Broker in the Forex Business available??

if there is one let me please know.

No more bucketshop Broker to trade with.

Merry christmas to all and happy new year (and happy trading)

Question

I always thought that Alpari US and Alpari UK are absolutely the same - one is just focused on US traders and another on UK... am I wrong?

Yeah, I understood that Aplari US was just set up so that your funds can be deposited as US$. Other than that, it's probably just two seperate MT4 servers.

They have different trading conditions. I'm gonna open live with Alpari UK.
By the way, BigBoppa, if you have:

if (!IsTradeAllowed())

Aren't you returning a TRUE value if Trade is allowed? then the Print message would be trading enabled!

Print("Trading enabled by brokerserver!");

it is the "!" (aka: NOT) in the condition who makes it print if FALSE...

Regulation matters too. You won't get the same kind of protection with NFA or FSA.

Wow, thank you for that information! I'm learning to code in mql4 and this is a very useful info for me.

Thank you, BigBoppa.
