Go Markets any good for forex?

[Naked shorts]

With their trailing stop losses, you add it to the trade after you have executed it. You also need to keep MT4 open for the trailing stop to remain active. When you are testing things out, use 0.01 lots...you will only be playing with cents then.

With their FX you can do it on entry. Create a limit take profit order and a OCO (one cancels the other) stop. With their pretend futs you have to do it after entry,

Just do a min trade to test it. will cost you a couple of bucks. that won't make a diff will it?

thanks for the tips

i get your drift. i am wondering if anybody could show me how to do stop loss, trailing loss in go market. do we need to do it in advance as when we enter the trade or can we do it after we are in the trade ? i am too nervous to try it.

any hints, tips etc
thanks

You can program an EA that controls the trade after you have manually opened it. That's probably the best place to start?

For stop set ups you can also use this expert by Mauro

Not sure how many experts you can have running at a time on MT4 but this will move to break even at chosen point, trail any amount and take profit.

Put it in Experts, click and drag to chart, enable live trading, set up pips as required close, click on expert icon up top to get green arrow, when the price ticks it will remind you what your settings are by text in the top left hand corner.

New to this forum and FX trading. Thank you for the info on GO. I have an unfunded live account with these guys and will proceed very cautiously thanks to the feedback on this thread.

Thanks to Wabbit for the Scripts and Macca for the EA.

Couple of things,
As mentioned im using FAP with Go with no real problems apart from server issues last week.
I have heard of an EA called Pipforia!! (anyone had any luck with it) it apparently uses a hedging strategy.
Does anyone know if the NFA rules will affect hedging through GO?
I prob sound really thick but dont know if those U.S rules will filter through to Go's customers.

They told me that back in Feb, hmmm early March late March, oh and beginning of April so I guess its not far off,,,,,

 

[AbundantIncome]

is it me or the program tends to hang, wont do anything ??? cannot get it maximised ????

it happens to me a lot of times !!!

 

[MrWhite]

Seems like they still don't have their demo system back. I just tried to sign up for a demo MT4 account with GoMarkets and they told me that it is down for maintenance and will be backup on the 27th April!

They must use Microsoft time to calculate that.

Download Process Explorer from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and use this to see what is going on in your system when it "hangs" You might find it is actually another process which is preventing from maximising windows etc...


Hope this helps.

P.S. Replace the existing Windows manager; Options > Replace Task Manager, now process explorer is available by right clicking on the windows task bar.

I wouldn't if I were you. If you check the fora in Moneytec and Elite Traders you will understand why.

 

[MrWhite]

Looks like you can sign up for the demo and download as of this morning.

Have just created my account and downloading now.

hmmm.. I have just down loaded a demo with aview to trialling some fx trading at very low leverage...but perhaps I should get out and go with another provider based on all that BS recently..doesnt fill one with confidence.
