these may help (i hope!?)
it’s not about “can”!!
it’s about “would”
plenty of people “can”, but why on earth would they want to do that rather than side-stepping all the spot forex problems and actually trading something real like forex futures instead?! it’s a no brainer - the futures move almost pip-for-pip (tick-for-tick) the same, so it’s almost identical, really
the advantages are:-
your broker is on your side, never against you, and wants you to win
it’s a transparent market where every broker always has …
people trading from tick-charts are almost always (knowingly or often unknowingly) using them as a substitute for volume, it’s true, but for spot forex it isn’t relevant anyway - there isn’t a formula for volume because there isn’t any “volume” as such
volume and ticks don’t really exist in any meaningful/helpful sense for trading spot forex/CFDs because they’re a decentralized market, so by definition there’s no possible way (for anyone, including your “broker”) to know the volumes transacted
…
i’ve only ever been employed (and/or sometimes self-employed) to trade currencies and US index futures; i know nothing about bonds, commodities, individual stocks or options - nexusfi (dot com) is where the retail futures traders hang out
any questions about forex futures and/or the S&P/Nasdaq futures i’m happy to try to answer, if i can
