Thanks to all for all the information! Background: I have had an account with Oanda for 2 years, but recently decided to stop trading there primarily because I feel they have "stacked the deck in their favour" by not offering trailing stops, moving the spreads as they feel like it, by...

I will certainly give their demo a try. I noticed they have much lower spreads (1-2) for active clients. That being said...Questrade who uses them is a Canadian firm covered under the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF). Should Gain or Questrade go bankrupt (see Refco) then the fund...

Can someone out there tell me why Oanda's BID price is always 1 PIP higher than the last trade price in the Market? I noticed this both on USD/JPY and EUR/USD...the lowest spreads that the BID is always 1 PIP higher the last and the ask is 2 to 4 PIPs higher than the last trade. I am still...

Well I just learned that Tradestation uses Gain Capital as a Marketmaker. They have a huge reputation to preserve - so I am beginning to feel Gain is more reputable. Anyone else out there using: - Forex.com (Gain capital) - Questrade (Gain capital system) - Tradestation (Gain capital...

Besides the reviews found here at Elitetrader.com...here are some other interesting ones...for those like me looking to find the best broker... It seems Oanda is views as the best in more than one place. 1) http://www.currencysecrets.com/2005/05/14/forex-broker-reviews/ 2)...

Getting off topic... I am sorry I even mentioned it. My 85% success rate is over 2 years and over many trades. I take a loss about 3 to 4 trades every 20 trades - or 1 or 2 every 10. It is no worse than 80%. NOW BACK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND....please. - Which Broker do you recommend...

- Anyone else out there who traded with Questrade (who uses GAIN) or GAIN directly? - Does anybody know of another Broker that uses Gain's platform? Specific questions to JimRockford: - You seem very very negative to Oanda and Gain ( and bucketshops) - it sounds like you have been...

If my 85% success comment offended some of you...I am sorry. My point was that I am successful in the stock market but unfortunately I cannot continue trading there due to my day job - the irony is that I work for a Bank. If I could keep trading during the 9 to 5 EST time - I would because...

Hello folks, Canadian guy again...here is Canada Questrade is secured by the CIPF to the tune of $1,000,000 in case of bankruptcy. Questrade licences the Gain Capital platform. I am attracted to it because of that security but I need more obvious important questions answered. Anyone...

Easyrider - answer to your question: Why not just ramp up what your doing with stocks? 85% win rate is phenomenal. Compounding your returns should accomplish every thing you could want moneywise. You probably missed the first part of my first post. My day job has recently made my ability...
