I was wondering if anyone is able to program a simple automated profit taking script for me in IB platform? When the top row 'TOTAL' & column that says "unrealized P & L" hits a certain value N, activate the order "close all positions" as seen under <orders> menu on top, that's all the...

How to halt other EAs when one is running in the same account? Say I want to maximize my capital & time in the same account by having more than one EA attached but I do not want more than one to run which might blow up my account, is there a way to do it? Otherwise the account is just sitting...

That's the objective of the house. Given the market volatility, they know they can margin call and cut loss for you anytime with "variable" margin settings. Commissions, nice platforms and profits are no longer the main concern. Your funds can always check in but can it check out?

At first glance, Dukascopy looks impressive with a minimum $50K capital requirement (clear signal they do not want to deal with shrimps). http://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/english/forex/forex_trading_accounts/ However, Dukascopy "variable" margin requirements & changes especially over the...

Thank you for the informative & insightful reply. If you don't mind, could you tell me What instruments & which broker are you currently trading with and why? Sometimes I wonder if brokers assign people like some of those in this forum to handle your acct; It's no surprise that there were so...

Some senior traders may not know much and trade like gamblers. And knowledgeble traders are not necessary winners which is why there are so many seminars gurus. Likewise, trading well & being profitable doesn't mean you are a winner if the broker plays dirty.

I had an online chat with Deutche Bank. They claim the orders are not routed through FXCM and are just using similar technology. They even offer raw pricing(no spread just comm) for larger accts and volume. However, they said they are not ECN and no banks are, does it mean 'they trade against...

Excellent. Thanks. :)

Thanks, but which futures broker besides IB and MB would you recommend for currency futures (around the size of MFGlobal)?

Ok, ignore about me having $300K. Imagine YOU have it, how would YOU allocate $300K into different brokers? Where would you trade CME currency futures instead of spot fx since there is such a wide range of opinion about forex brokers?

Deutche Bank using FXCM, ABN-Amro Marketindex using Oanda,etc... Whitelabels, how does it work? I am considering Deutche Bank but who is holding the funds, FXCM?

Ok, I get your point. :mad:

What answer? I am not sticking with MF.

Those senior traders are sticking with MFGlobal.

Never Mind, I just thought that 'elite' traders come here. $300K is not a lot. Most of the senior traders I know trade with at least 1 million which is probably only worth about $100K in the 80s and they haven't even heard of Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, etc. or even VIX! All of us...

Never mind about my nick, seriously, I need suggestions because I want to spread out my risk in my real money.:)

If you don't know what to suggest, just keep quiet and nobody would know you don't know.

Can XTrader Autospread features be used with Currency futures? Anyone using XTrader autospread for currency trading?

Let's say you have about $300K to trade forex & index futures. How would you allocate your funds? into 3 or more brokers or all into one? What are the things you would consider when deciding? Besides IB, which retail brokers do you recommend? Is InterbankFX better than IB for forex spot?
