New changes

• Opened a demo account with LCG and JFD. Try­ing out LCG today. I have one MT4 with this demo account for chart­ing and one MT4 for entries with my bro­ker. On this lat­ter screen I will only keep open the M30 mar­ket pro­file chart. Please advise on how you have set up your software/screens/. I nor­mal­ly pre­fer the trades I take to be on the same I do my chart­ing on. The quotes from my bro­ker is almost iden­ti­cal of that of LCG (dis­crep­an­cy of 0.00002–0.00003 which is negligible).
