Is Your IP Connection
Working Properly?
by FxTeam
Have you ever been on line and your computer seems too
slow? Slower then normal? Does this happen often? How about when you
have your trading platform up and running...any slow orders to be placed
that seem to be taking al night?, getting the prompt, "processing" and
it just hangs there? Those are signs of a connection problem my friend.
If this continues during your trading you may get into a position that
due to the volatility of the market you may want to hedge or just get
out of. There is that slow connection, if any. Until
you are confident of your IP connection I would not do anymore trading
online. What you need to do at this point is to check
your connection on your end first. Only do this if your confident enough
to perform the following, please...
open up your DOS prompt. To do this click Start >
Run> and type: Command. Then press Enter. The DOS
screen will appear. Type the following exactly as it appears below (with
a space after TRACERT): TRACERT
*(your default gateway
and/ IP address) Then press Enter. (there is
a space between TRACERT and the numbers) this was used in DOS for Time
Warner. What your basically
looking for are these: * * * in the script that shows up in DOS. If you
don't see any, then your connection is probably alright.
*
IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR IP ADDRESS YOUR BROKERS TECH CAN
PROVIDE THIS DURING CHAT. YOU MAY ALSO VISIT

(http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Using-Tracert.html)FOR
COMPLETE DETAILS.
traceroute only works on UNIX/Linux
and other systems such as Cisco, etc
------------------------------------------------------------
If you have (ASTERISKS) * * * than you should call your IP server direct and
ask them to check your system for you. They will be able to do it from
their end with your permission. After this is cleared
up and your IP says your system is running fine then go to live chat on
your trading platform, they will also be able to check your computer to
see if there is any lost data. SHOULD ANY BE FOUND you should STOP all
on-line trading until the problem is isolated and corrected.

Back Up Plan!
You should have your hard copy ledger in front of you,
you know the one...it has all your trades both open and closed. It has
the pertinent data and the results. You have it right? If not, PLEASE
start doing this immediately. We have a template that you can download
from the members area to use if your in need of one, It has all the data
and formulas, if needed, laid out.
O.K. HERE IT IS,
Your Back Up PLAN!
Your brokers PHONE NUMBER! That's it. It should be
readily available, preferably at the top of each page of your signal
sheet. SHOULD you have ANY delayed problems call immediately! DO NOT
wait to see if 'things' clear up. Be ready to provide the order numbers,
your position and what you want to do. Don't worry, if you don't know
exactly what is what, they will help you. ALSO, if you
use an internet phone line, HAVE A MOBILE PHONE available! If your
having IP problems there is a pretty good chance you may be having phone
problems if your on the IP phone service.
Sure, you probably have read about them, maybe even
experienced the let down by having a margin call. We are NOT going
into what is the Margin Call in today's article. Nope, what we are going
to discuss is how to make sure a simple method will help you from
experiencing one! Although is a lot to know on how they work, how to
calculate for Margin Calls and prevent them, those are covered in the
members area.
That just about wraps up this issue,! My heartfelt thanks

new 'feel' just right for our continued success in the Forex market!
