Here are our Forex MegaDroid backtest results for May. The distinction may not be obvious, and may even seem irrelevant, but nonetheless although these are backtest results, the data used for the backtest was acquired on a demo account moving forward in time and not from a downloaded MetaTrader history. This test was performed using exactly the same input settings as in our MegaDroid Backtest Results for April.

In the second of our series of interviews with senior figures from the Forex industry, I spoke earlier today with Marc Prosser, Chief Marketing Officer of Forex Capital Markets. I started off asking the question on everyone's lips these days about the new "hedging" ban. We then talked about the relative merits of "straight through processing" versus "dealing desk" business models, and then briefly touched on the regulatory aspects of transatlantic transfers of client cash.

Another new MetaTrader 4 expert advisor launched last week. Since it's name is "Forex Espionage" I was astonished at the lack of secrecy surrounding this event. Even I noticed all the emails accumulating in my spam folder. Normally when we here at the Trading Gurus review a new trading system we perform lots of backtests, forward test on a demo account for a few months, then forward test some more on a live account before delivering our final verdict. In the case of the latest forex "robot" let loose on unsuspecting trading accounts around the world all that won't be necessary. Here is our considered Forex Espionage Review. It Sucks!

As our regular readers will know we were not awfully impressed with the Forex Espionage MetaTrader robot (or should that be robots?). Nevertheless immediately after I bought his latest expert advisor(s) Steven Lee Jones was kind enough to make me a "One Time Offer" to buy his Forex Espionage Advanced System for a mere $77. Unable to resist any sort of an offer to buy anything related to forex trading, let alone one just about to expire, I parted with my credit card number for a second time.

We've just added a new installment to our course on how to build your very own forex trading system. This one is something of a history lesson about the legendary Turtle Traders.
