Khalid (SHF username Khalaad) was one of the first members to join SHF when we started just over 10 years ago. He has done years of research into the art of trading and is launching his commercial signals enterprise in our Commercial section, in the INFINITE WEALTH sub-forum that I set up for him. This has tremendous potential.
Khalid's signals are free whilst members take them on a try-before-you-buy basis. This will eventually become a subscription service with signals sent out automatically to subscribers.
Start with viewtopic.php?p=173440#p173440 and work out from there.

Read Thomas' (tomele) profile and you will see that a part of it is this:
Occupation: PC Doctor, Programmer, Webmaster. He is running the back end of this forum these days.
It occurred to me that I could express my appreciation for all that he does for us by giving him a monthly bump in my wrup. I asked him to expand on his listing. Here is his reply:
“Basically, people can ask me for everything computer-related. Be it helping remotely via phone and/or Teamviewer to fix or set something up, be it coding in Mql or some other language or be it something website-related. The approach would always be to contact me with a description of the task to receive an offer from my side. I always honestly say when things exceed my skills, but probably I can make contact with a more appropriate partner then.”
Bear Thomas in mind when you need something computer-related, folks. You can contact him by email or PM via his user control panel, or by posting on his thread viewtopic.php?p=171330#p171330

TransparentT has done extensive research to find brokers able to offer accounts to those of you living in Canada/USA and has added to his original list. Details at viewtopic.php?p=173349#p173349 Thanks TT.

My experiments with SPB treating each pair as an individual basket shooting for a TP of 100 pips are going exceptionally well. Start reading the details at viewtopic.php?p=173350#p173350 and download SPB etc from post 1.

b]Official SHF broker[/b]
No point in learning to trade like a master trader if your broker is bollocks, so I have decided to make more of a fuss about Global Prime for the benefit of all who can trade through them but have not yet elected to do so. GP is SHF's 'Official broker'. Not just the 'Official' broker (cos we all know what a multitude of crimes this can cover) but my broker.
I am happy that GP continues to offer the transparent and honest service they advertise – it is the ONLY broker I trade with. Before you start trading you need to read this thread: “Why you should sign up with Global Prime” at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =52&t=1475 You can chat to the team at GP on the LiveChat on their website. I remember every time I send a trade, what a breath of fresh air it is to know that I am trading with a genuine broker, not a 'market maker' or 'bucket shop' – and this is more than seven years after Jeremy & Co took over the running of GP..

VPS. I am running Eaymon's VPS. Absolutely fantastic. I cannot recommend it highly enough. At the time of writing, I am running 8 demo platforms and it has not missed a beat. Physical memory used = 47%. I have yet to catch CPU usage going over 40% and it is usually in the low teens, so plenty of juice left: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 103&t=5282

EA's that members are trading live and profitably
These are the ones I know about. Contact me if yours should be in this exclusive group and I have missed it out. It will never be a large section.
Before you use them there are a few points you MUST understand, grasp and learn to live by:
1) There is an unbreakable, unshakable and unavoidable rule of retail forex trading and it is this: if it can happen and it is bad for you, then it will happen, and probably sooner rather than later.
2) You will have losing days.
3) You will have losing weeks.
4) You will have losing months.
5) The only thing that matters is that the equity curve rises over a longer period of time than most of you possess the ability to concentrate for.
6) You need balls of steel to trade Forex. 2), 3) and 4) will sort you out rapidly if you are a wimp.
7) Never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose. You will be desperate to succeed and fear will cloud your judgement. Guess how I know? Guess why I am so relaxed about trading these days. Only a cretin trades with the pension pot or remortgages the house in order to do so.

Bob's (nanningbob) Holy Grail Indicator
