    platform lag

    Have to disagree here. Looking at his Task Manager - Performance tab, neither physical memory nor virtual memory (paging file) size could have anything to do with that issue. Take a look at the Peak figure: 499,196 KB. That's less than physical memory of 653,652 KB. Increasing either...

    Am I crazy or is FXCM crooked?

    "Extra spread" refers to the 1-pip markup of the spread by FXCM's PropFX division, as pointed out above by NickBarings. It does not refer to price shading.

    Sure. What about leverage on each trade entry?

    Sounds to easy.

    drasfs, you didn't mention yet - and, amazingly, no one asked: how do you decide between long and short entry, 1 minute before the news? Or do you have in mind doing both at the same time in 2 accounts?
