RECOMMENDATIONS I only recommend resources that I believe may benefit you and have full confidence in myself. While the links are affiliate, in the end there are many charitable causes I would like to donate towards and this is a way to do just that. So if the products appeal to you, it would be great if you could help 'give back' by using the links that I have provided. This is a win-win for you and them. The orange buttons will take you directly to the sites >> BROKERS Forest Park FX The main question I receive is regarding Broker recommendations. This is one of my pet peeves as I believe there are many brokers out there with a great looking website claiming to be fully regulated however they are not, or not to a standard I would expect a broker to be. I am a big believer on going with a trusted and fully regulated broker. I’ve been burnt before, so I am talking from experience here. So when it comes to broker selection, no matter where you live in the world, I strongly suggest that you contact Justin and his team. Forest Park FX is an Introducing Broker. You contact them and advise them of your situation and they identify a suitable broker that they believe will suit your needs. 1 This service doesn’t cost you anything at all as Forest Park FX receives a small percentage of the spread when you place a trade with the recommended broker. There is no increase in spread size or anything like that either. . The advantage to you is that you know it will be a reputable broker and if there are any issues with the broker, Forest Park FX will deal with them on your behalf. But that’s not all. There is also a very good chance that you will also receive cash rebates from Forest Park FX, depending on how much volume you trade. I have been a happy customer of Forest Park FX for a few years now, where I do receive the cash rebates and I am very happy with their service. It is a win-win for both parties in my opinion BACKTESTING Soft4FX Forex Simulator I’ve also had a few questions regarding back testing and how to go about it. And when I talk about back testing, I’m not referring to the MT4 Strategy Tester, but more so using a simulator to forward test a trading strategy. Sure you could use a demo account, but that could take weeks to get the desired results, especially if testing on a longer time frame. If you saw my hedging video at https://youtu.be/SPIEh0qUNn0 then you would have seen my preferred simulator tester in action. It’s funny, as a few days ago I did receive an email from the Forex Tester 3 people who wanted me to promote their simulator. I had to knock them back as I am currently using the Soft4FX Forex Simulator which is the one you see in the video. A couple of things I like about the Soft4FX product are that: It is simply an EA that you load onto your MT4 platform, so it is not separate software as such. 2 It has a one-off fee and very reasonably priced compared to Forex Tester 3. It also gives you the opportunity to download much more accurate price data from a couple of third party providers at no extra cost. This just helps with the accuracy of the testing. And the main advantage of Soft4FX over Forex Tester 3 is that it works directly off your MT4 platform and will work with the majority of your custom indicators without having to convert them to a different language as you would have to do with Forex Tester 3. Not all custom indicators are compatible, but a lot of them are, including most of mine. If you are serious about testing (and you should be) then this is a great tool for the price and worth having a look at. TRADE MANAGER VTC Trade Manager If you are a more skilled trader and need help managing multiple trades on MT4, then this is a great piece of software. It has plenty of features and is very handy at times. This is not something the beginner needs but if you are serious about trading as a business, then software like this makes a huge difference. 3 TRADINGVIEW TradingView I’ve just moved over to TradingView to see what all the hype was about. I can see the advantages of it. It still has some limitations with regards to broker integration and a few other things I’m still getting used to. But I do like the fact that it is web based and you can access from any device, and there is a strong social trading aspect to it. There is a free version which has some limitations, but may be worth checking out. COURSES/TRAINING/MENTORING Day Traders FX I also receive many queries about trading courses, training as well as mentoring. While I do try to help where I can, I can’t provide the full commitment that would be required. However, one guy I know is very good at this is, Jared Johnson. I have purchased products from Jared in the past, including his Scanner and his 15 min Course. I have also watched many of his weekly trading analysis videos over the last few years, and attended some of his webinars. This guy knows his stuff and is very easy to follow. He has a great personality and explains things very well. He does have a free Telegram chat room, but also a private trading room, where he is very active. Jared does a great job explaining technical trading and if I was starting out or looking for a trading coach/mentor, then he would be my man. I do believe he even offers a free trial, so it may be worth checking out yourself and seeing if this is something that would suit you. That’s all from me for now. All the best with you trading!
