Re: linking TS directly to Interbankfx, I don't think that can be done, as they use the MT4 platform that you can automate through. I am pretty sure there are programmers that can convert your TS strats to MT4 ea's. That said, MT4 is a newer version of MT and IBFX is one of the only US brokers...

Read a bit on Michael Stumm and Richard Olsen---how long they've been at this, their business and academic background. Starting up a "company like Oanda" is no easy feat! The computer and programming knowledge, the mathmatical near-if-not-actual genius, the other ventures they are involved...

Hi, Would you be willing to talk about your currenex experience? how it is different from say, IB or Oanda.... Thanks, Kali

Check out both: NeoTicker www.tickquest.com Dynamite Sentimentor www. fipertec.de/ The technology to automate is getting better all the time but there is nothing simple about it yet unless your both a trading wizard AND a computer programming guru. You can automate very professionally...

I've heard this said before and wondered if it were true. Here's another reason I have to possibly doubt it: Using EnsignSoftware, I have the capability to use a random-generated data feed to test strategies on. The concept is that it would closely mimic market behavior enough to be...

Brokers won't close your account if you scalp......most forex traders consider scalping short term trades anywhere from 1-20 pips, 1-30 min, and that's just a ball park description. No one scalps spreads in forex. The biggest heads up I'd give you on trying to scalp is to be aware in forex...

Hi Hoi, Thanks for confirming that. Thanks Steve IB as well. Very helpful. Again coming from the perspective of having only traded retail fx, would you mind elaborating on how the ECN model benefits me as a trader? Much appreciated. Kali "Pay no attention to the man behind...

That was the gist of my initial question. The first respondent said, what you see is what you get, which I assumed was that if my entry says 68 in the execution window, that's my entry plain and simple, no waiting from that point? I start at 0. Are you saying you start at -1?

Right GWAC, So if bid ask is 68/69.5 and I place a sell order, my entry is 68. When I do this, I also am -1.5 pips, meaning in addition to getting the bid price when I sold, I must wait for the market to move 1.5 pips before breaking even. This is how it appears to work to me. So if on...

I'm a Forex-only trader with no experience trading anything else. I've traded with FXCM briefly and primarily with Oanda. Since there is a lot of info on this board about IB, being highly recommended and having significant improvements recently, I am researching them. Since I trade...

I'm an Oanda trader but was checking out the differences between IB and Oanda. I heard on ButtonTraders' site that they facilititate IB's policy of buying on the bid/selling on the ask. Obviously Oanda does not do that. So when I get a signal and open a trade on IB does that mean I'd be...

From a Forex trader who hasn't had access to market depth info, could you kindly elaborate on how that information help you in making trading decisions? Also, does this mean that IB does not provide any type of forex volume data (if it were even possible to do so) and that you need to use...

Might be that they were quoting the margin required for daytrading stocks.
