Thanks for the info Rick...we shall continue next week
for brokers I start my search with 100forexbrokersdotcom ....hope I didn't break a policy here

IamFX is a new US broker, but according to them, fastest growing broker now and allows hedging/scalping. Plenty of goodies, good spreads, free VPS, etc. Just looking so far...so good.
by the way, did you check funyoo's myfxbook? Amongst his top 18, he's go this one that caught my attention: Six MA Trader v1.05, I started running it 2 days with Alpari UK, I got 319 pips with only 0.08% drawdown. I'm thrilled!!

It is also amongst Funyoo's top 3 performers since 12/09.
