MT4 is among the most popular trading platforms among retail traders thanks to its ease of use, widespread adoption among brokers and large range of indicators.

In our view, the most important consideration when choosing a broker is how reputable they are, which is why we have only featured brokers regulated by a major financial regulator, such as the Financial Conduct Authority or CySEC. These regulators impose stringent measures on brokers to protect their clients.

The Head of Operations for ATFX Connect, Matt Porter, stated: “We feel that with the current market challenges occurring in the retail arena that this is a good time to expand our offering to Institutional clients and to that end we have been developing ATFX Connect. We now have a platform that will enable clients to have access to bespoke liquidity dependant on their needs, whether they need early trading on Sunday, to smaller ticket sizes we believe we will be able to cater for all needs, and this is just the start as we continue to develop the product to meet the growing needs of our clients now, and in the future.”

I learned that keeping losses as small as possible is critical to capital preservation. The most crucial thing in trading is mental capital. You need to be in the right headspace for the next trade. I find that when I go into a deep drawdown, my mindset is not right. I might start forcing trades to try to make money back. I might get gun-shy about taking the next trade.

The employment growth data released by the United States last week was worse than expected, putting pressure on the US dollar and strengthening expectations that interest rates will remain low. From a technical point of view, the overall downward trend of the US dollar index remains intact. In the short-term, we will pay attention to the resistance of the upper gear in the 90.60-90.80 area, and the lower support is located in the 90.00 area. The four-hour chart shows that today’s trend may maintain yesterday’s low and fluctuate. It is still recommended to go short at the high level, 90.60-90.80 area, stop loss 91.30, see 90.00,89.50.
