Take a pie and cut it into 8 pieces. Everyone gets a slice.

Now take the same pie, and cut it into 800 slices. Do you have more total pie?

All bubbles collapse, and margin just makes it happen faster.

make that MA retard proof, blue going up, red coming down. Put a colour zone on it, price above green, price below red.
Go full autism, watch it for days. You're scalping for 2-5 pips, or longer if you get a clear run.

Test it on the demo. Set a 5 pip emergency stop, and AS SOON as that bitch is coming back at you, scratch it, get out. click click click.

Bonus: put a 45 LRI on it, use for confirmation.

Imagine you are trading on Kucoin.
With 100x more bots under- and overcutting you.
With no order book or depth graphs.
Most times with a shittier UI that sucks for TA.
With no constant social media information stream about the coins to know when is something about to pump or dump and all the events are already priced in.

That's Forex.

You can't do it on it metatrader with 1 minute candles, it's like smashing your head against a wall.
LMAX has a spread of 0.1 on eur/usd, the 20ish tick candles are going to show you small scale waves you never even thought about.
You still need a 5 minute chart and an hour chart to orientate yourself, I think you do, some people disagree. Pivots are important in forex, use auto pivots.
The LMAX demo charts are good, and they don't ring you up or bet you for a real account ever. I'm not shilling for them, but it's on a different level to memetrader.
