NP, you've been pushing this site like mad. you must have stock options :D Operator

I know there has been much debate on ET about the NDD platform at FXCM to weather its a true independent platform. I got the below email today. Basically its says that they ARE the counterparty to your trades BUT immediately off set your trade AND do not make money if you lose. Is this to...

Ok blame P4, but 8.0 doesn't have the issue. Just leverage off of version 8.0 To all who can't take 10.1 anymore version 8.0 http://www.esignal.com/executables/esignal_80r1.exe

Surf, now it can tank.:D Dumped my GLD today. VIX went to 31 good enough for me. But didn't have a chance to reverse into UYG.

Exactly, I dumped my GLD position (was bullish on the euro a few week back, bearish on us equities, and had concerns on inflation) today that I bought at 91.70. It's only natural fot the euro to pull back at the fig.

The question was is the euro going to go to 1.60, it did. I made no mention of it going to the moon.

1.60 is only 60 pips way. We can get there tonight :D

ET appreciates the heads up, but you don't need to start a few threads and then light up the broker rating board. Dude if I opened a futures account and had issues with the platform and the broker could not fix them, I would just kindly close my account. Ok, enough said on the matter. I'll...

Even if you were to get a borrow on IMB, the margin requirement would be around $5/sh. And that's even if your broker let you even short something under 5 bucks.....

IMB? It's trading at 10 cents

Don't tell me that. I just bought GLD the other day at 91.70. Reasons: 1. Inflation 2. I think the dollar will weaken 3. Panic in the financial markets. But I will probably dump it when the VIX spikes to 35. operator

Another LLC to do what? Not the same old tricks????

This is not true. IB's are business partners with the FCM's, not middle men. You can sometimes get a better rate through a IB than a FCM. And there is no difference in the execution speed because they are using the FCM lines/platform.

I agree just close your account if you don't like them. There are plenty of future brokers out there to choose from....

Oh I didn't know that the retail piker has access to the same platform that all the major banks use.....

really....there is no "real" market place for retail forex. just have to pick your poison...

Does anybody know any FCM's (besides Velocity and OEC) that offer $500 intraday margins for the index's?

Yeap, same crap on 10.1. Downloading 8.0 after the close. Can't they just make all the releases as good as 8.0.....

This is the real issue for me. I understand systems go down, but it's how you handle it that matters to me....

does this happen often?
