Yes, exactly that. I have several FDAX charts open, and then one from my CFD broker, which has trade from chart enabled, and you can also trade from the trade window (useful for entering at bid or...

Trading Psychology Podcast

Hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere so thought I'd post it up. It's a podcast with a focus on trading psychology and behaviour, some good guests on there.

Markets, what are they like, eh?

So I had a good apr, mar, may, jun, then july came. Much of what I'd built up in the previous months was wiped out in July -I was doing my same old thing I think, but it wasn't working anymore. What...

Hi, I'm also looking at this combination, but have read how SC support really don't like IB because of various issues. So I'm interested in how you, or anyone else is getting on with it these days?

That sounds like a good use of hypnosis to help with trading.

I saw a hypnotherapist to help me with bad habits, impulse trades, that sort of thing. But it didn't help. Mainly I think because the...

Yes. Because there is no depth of market (dom/order book) on a CFD platform, the market is made by the 'broker'.
