I'm guessing any broker who went down at the same time, is a white label customer of FXCM. So really no excuse for being down. Wouldn't you have a backup switch/system that kicks in automatically. They have had similar situations where something goes wrong, and they just wait a day to get it...

Good thing I pulled my funds from FXCM this week. I mean if your a serious broker then you shouldn't go down at all. Maybe once in a year, but it's a monthly or sometimes weekly occurrence.

This is not new. There platform goes down once a week.

Hey guys send this letter to make known your disapproval of the new 10-1 leverage rule. ____________________________________________ To whom it may concern, I am a retail trader and I am strongly opposed to the 10:1 leverage proposal by the CFTC. This regulation/requirement will drive many...

You probably made a few mistakes. Here are probably a few reason why you got rejected. Did you answer these questions? 1. When they ask you net worth and income did you say none or a very low amount. If it's to low you, will be rejected. Also if you said you were unemployed, that hurts...

The easiest solution is to update the shortcut. Click properties and change the target to the following. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\javaw.exe -cp jts.jar;pluginsupport.jar;hsqldb.jar;jcommon-1.0.12.jar;jfreechart-1.0.9.jar;jhall.jar;other.jar;riskfeed.jar;rss.jar -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Xmx512M...

I don't think he had a chance at living. I think they would of executed him had he told them where the money was.

Just a suggestion, whenever you check your account management page, go to the log in and make sure tws is current. I know things will break with each update, but it's somethign that can't be avoided. I also check Java once a month there on version 17. It's best to have your comp updated to...

Yeah and we can use our dollars as toilet paper. It will be a nightmare in 2010, with all the increased regulation and higher taxes. Hell why try if the government will take more then 60-70 % of your income. I can't wait till helicopter Obama airlifts money to the people of Detroit.

I don't have a problem with saving companies, but i think if you get taken over or helped by the government then you should be broken up. Separate them into mini companies and bring them to the ipo market, at least people will learn they cant expect free aid or help for nothing. I mean come on...

Ha, don't worry the government will do an A.I.G type Rescue, soon we will own GE just as we do with AIG.

DBFX is a white lable of FXCM, there trade station is copy of the old fxcm trade station.

oh ok, they seem to be good. The only thing I'm not sure is that it feels like even with IB'S 2.5% margin level, it feels like more. Shorting 3 million gbp.usd seems to take 100k in buying power. I'm so used have 1 to 100, but even then it would only cost me 30k for that position with say...

Thanks, so for people who use IB for Forex. If the maximum order for gbp/usd is 6 million. Isn't it hard to scalp or trade if, you scale up to 20 million positions?

I was wondering what's the max trade size. I mean if i want to short gbp/usd. Is there a max how much in a single order you can place. I know as the account increases, I will scale up my orders.

Oh my account balance is 150k. And I trade about 1,000,000 to 2,000,0000. I scale up as my account increases, but that's the usual trade sizes. It's all chart based, and positions are closed before the end of the day.

Hmm, your right, I will look over my trading again to make sure I'm not over leveraged. I used IB once, but hated there FX Trader, it felt like a second thought to there tws platform. I will look at ninja and button trader to make it easier. I always felt IB was much more honest in there...

So I'm trying to find an ecn forex broker, and was wondering if anyone uses Interactive Brokers to trade forex only? I noticed there margin level is 2.5% which is pretty high. If IB isn't good for me any other suggestions?

Yeah i know it for a fact. I used there program for a while, got awful excutions. I asked who the were using to facilitate there forex trades they said gain capital which is forex.com Just look at the reviews on this site for them and you will get an idea of the trade problems you will have...

Having forex is nice, but they really should go to an ecn based forex system. I mean come on TOS forex is just a white label of gain capital/forex.com
