That's cool, I can live with that.

Ok thanks, even with the commission that's still cheap by comparison. When you say orders hang, can they be cancelled as long as they're not filled or does the platform itself hang and you can't tell if you've been filled or not and at what price (on market orders)?

lol, good one huh :) Ok, serious note, how are you finding IB compared to Oanda regards connection issues, fills etc as you've traded on both. Thanks

lol, this just gets better and better! We were talking about the IB website not Oanda. atticus, when you find yourself in a hole the first thing to do is stop digging....... Too funny :)

You're not alone, I've only just managed to find the manual for FX Trader among the myriad of links!

Right, thanks, not really an issue unless someone doesn't find 25:1 adequate! I guess I'll find out next week how they perform :eek:

lol, and this from a guy who had trouble finding Forex Capital Markets on the CFTC website, dilettante :)

Thanks for the replies guys, as long as I know roughly what to expect! I can handle those issues as long as execution is good, connection problems would be a pain but hopefully they're sorting that one out. Margin requirements I don't think matter a great deal, 50:1 or 25:1, it's a bit...

I feel for you guys, it's nearly $9 in UK......no wonder we all drive around squashed into subcompacts :(
