Why would anyone even consider betting with a forex bucketshop now there are plenty of direct access options?

In which case any short USD positions he has merely act as a hedge, which is a sensible strategy for someone with his portfolio.

I just looked at the Investor/RT formula language. It's not based on any other programming language (like eSignal is based on javascript and Metastock's is based on VBA). It seems very simple but lacking in functionality for "hardcore" programmers. A lot of the stuff you would learn with Excel...

You need to learn basic coding concepts that are universal to all languages if you're not familiar with them already. Excel VBA is an excellent way to learn to program. Check out Ed Robinson's 'Excel VBA in easy steps' for a cheap as chips and well illustrated book that will quickly get you...

The pricing of DTNIQ with one of the third party software providers seems like much better value than eSignal. I've previously stuck with eSignal because I don't want an inferior data feed but DTNIQ seems to have a better reputation than eSignal and there's definitely better and cheaper software...

I find IB's customer service very helpful. I've only ever used the online chat and any problem has been sorted within minutes. If you look at the sort of people who complain about IB's customer service they appear to lack manners and have difficulty communicating clearly.

There's an undercurrent of rudeness from the eSignal support staff. I think they need to be trained to treat their customers with manners and respect. I'm thinking of leaving eSignal for that reason alone.

IB should send your stop limits to the exchange which means only your place in the queue stands in the way of execution.

There are some guys on this forum who seem to think that for the ultimate trading "workstation" you need to buy budget, end-of-line or used graphics cards from ebay. The GeForce 7600 GS is an excellent, quiet and reasonably priced dual dvi card. Two of them work great for a 4 monitor set up.

First rule of trading: ignore guy on CNBC. Second rule: ignore overbought levels.

On a day that went down 80 points and then up 80 points, you think your one little 28 point trade is so significant you have to capture it and publish it on this forum. Why do you imagine anyone would care? You're obviously not a consistently profitable trader.

Come off it. When you download the dbFX platform (which is the same as the FXCM platform) you connect directly to FXCM servers. How much more evidence do you need? As for Mirarchi his details were suddenly amended immediately after I "outed" him on another thread. Maybe a coincidence or maybe...

So what is your point, that there isn't a relationship between FXCM and dbFX or that there is and it doesn't matter? Given all the evidence, only someone who keeps his head firmly up his own backside would argue the former. Just one more bit of evidence: Michael Mirarchi was the dbFX rep I...

This is all very nice what what trading applications has the open source community come up with?

You're right, I was looking at the spread on Sunday night. Cable spread is 13 on Ideal.

When the blue line crosses the red line you pull the trigger. IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE.

Thanks $$$lover but what I was talking about was that it doesn't automatically re-center. This can be annoying when the price is moving quickly and you have to keep pressing re-center. I don't think there's a way of changing this. Using "center around midpoint of bid/ask" does solve the problem...

Here's a thought. If you try to close 25,000 but get left with 10,000, why not open another 25,000 position and try to close with 35,000? That would be cheaper than using the silly 100 pip IDEAL spreads.
