It gets better! At 4pm CST my exiting limit orders all get cancelled. Trading continues, as I see the EURUSD chart moving, but I CANNOT PLACE ORDERS "order rejected: no trading available" So if you use this service you better hope nothing happens around 4pm where you need to exit...

So OEC forex accounts are separate from OEC futures accounts? Hmm. This sucks too cuz I LOVE OEC's platform for futures. Most of the other ones I've tried (in demo form) were super shitty or just annoying to use. Oanda sucks, MT4 sucks, trying to remember who else I've tried, a few but...

Man this thing is janky as hell. My open position just disappeared. It's still showing an open position in the "Detailed positions" window, but it's no longer registering on my chart, altho my limit orders are still there. This is the second time this has happened. The first time I...

I've heard Gain sucks.

I'm playing around with OEC's new forex demo and I don't know anything about Forex, but this spread looks terrible. I mean look at the bid/ask bars on the right: that gap is wider than some of the candles on the chart :eek: I was just messing around with this now, and in order for me to be...

i was wondering this, too?

Oh, I guess it makes a little more sense if you factor in good banks vs. bad banks. Isn't that more like an option? I know it's going long vs. short but my original question was "how is that any different than doing nothing?". Thanks.

So I was watching Million Dollar Traders and they're talking about "hedging" their exposure. One example was the guy bought one bank and shorted another bank, to offset his exposure. Alright, so 3 possible things can happen: 1. Both banks move roughly together and his net P/L is 0 (the...
