I have now heard from everyone and have sent the winners info to FXCM. Due to the 4th of July holiday, it will probably be a week before there is movement.

What did everyone think of the webinar?

Mike

I just got done watching the webinar and thought it was fantastic. I'm surprised that there aren't more posts on this thread about it. As a new trader it was kind of painful to see that my biggest losing trades where donations to the market as a result of my trying to time catching the high or the low. Even before watching the webinar I was planning to open a small account on FXCM to try and help me learn more about currency trading, being that as a new trader I'm following FT71's advise to trade the M6E live to gain experience with futures trading at a more affordable scale.

@Big Mike, thanks for throwing out the "putting on the spot" questions as to why the SSI would be usable, being that it is a freely available indicator. I thought his reply was convincing, and as a new trader, I can definitely see the truth (not that he put it this way) that the "bigger fool" theory is what makes it viable despite it's availability.

I don't know if you refrain from making personal comments on your opinion of different vendors or sponsors methods, indicators, or products- but I would be interested in what your take away was from what worth there may be in testing out the theory behind SSI. I know as a new trader I definitely will be putting the theory to the test, most likely on SIM when I get my FXCM account but was just curious on your take of it.

Thanks to FXCM and Big Mike for another potentially valuable trading tool.

Cheers!

Hi Steve,

Since you're interested in SSI, you might be interested to know that several SSI-based trading strategies are available for automation via the Mirror Trader platform. Anyone with a live FXCM account can use their account username and password to access Mirror Trader, but you can also test these strategies on a Mirror Trader demo account.

Let me know if you have questions.

Jason

Thanks Jason. I've already opened a small account on FXCM and have been logged in and checking out Mirror Trader, as well as the FXCM Trading Station. There is so much on my "to do, and to learn" list, that it will be a few weeks before I can spend any real time on them, but I do like what I've seen so far. I do have a question or two regarding the lot sizes and will shoot you a PM in a week or so about that. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.

Cheers!

Beware of FXCM!

Recently they terminated my account for no reason at all.

I used to scalp EUR/USD and making roughly 35 trades a day manually entering and exiting the market.

Until now, I never heard back from them and I don't know if my capital/earnings will ever be refunded.

After what they did to me , I feel I've been SCAMMED!

So beware dealing with FXCM!
