your comments were funny when I thought you were taking the piss ... but you actually believe you can trade don't you? What's the matter, your boyfriend giving you beats? There are ppl you can call for problems like that, you shouldn't have to suffer in silence

i agree with 2cents, an internal move from any middle/back office role to trading is unheard of. However, these things happen in smaller institutions and hedge funds. In fact, I am aware of a pa at a large hedge fund making trader

3k? you must be one big swinging dick

my bad, only gave it a quick scan. Well .. if the guy knows what he's doing .. he'll have more than on broker

these ecns are for institutions or ppl with a little more capital than $600. As MichaelB said ... give oanda a try

there are a number of programs that do this but aimed more at institutions. RiskMetrics and algorithmics provide you with historical scenario analysis that will provide you with p%l returns on your portfolio if you had held your current positions over historic moves such as the number bond...

It's pretty poor. For starters the spread on eur widens a few extra pips to maybe 4/5 and you won't getg more than 50 contracts either side of the quote.

forgive me if I'm on my own here ... but why bother with diffenet leverage? Find a broker with a max leverage you're comfortable with and just sclae you position sizes accordinly? Just because a broker provides you with 100x leverage doesn't mean you have to use it.

stay away from scalping.

no reply from him in a while. Maybe his mum's told him it's past his bed time.

perhaps no motivation at all. Maybe he's wanked himself crazy

just a casual observation but none of theET posters who use those annoying smilies ever seem to be taken seriously ... i wonder why?

Is this some kinda code? I've always thought i was good at puzzles and the like but I just can't crack this one

THank god! I've been waiting for someone to have a dig at his english ... with such a poor grasp of the english language how can he possibly hope to comprehend IBs legal jargon.

I honestly don't get you. Do you think you're trying to do a good dead by supposedly exposing IB for who you think they really are? You're coming across as more of a failed trader who has no more more and can't afford to put up the min 2k to fund an acount at ib. I can't believe I had a blast of...

and that's your argument for advising ppl not to use them as a broker rather than the fact that the services and functionality they provide is top notch? You really need to look at the big picture.

regardless of if you're correct or not you potential customers need ot ask themselves the question whether or not they believe they'll get into a position where it even matters. If i want a broker that i could potentially sue but is most likely ripping me off with spread, commission and...

If you don't want to use ib that's your choice, but to make assumptions about a broker you've had no experience and justify it by claiming you're helping potential ib customers see ib for who they really are is tragic and quite transparent. My personal experience trading retail forex has been...

Also another point, if you have an acccount at ib, you can see in the account management section of the website who your counterparty was in the trade and of course depending on the size of trade you're pushing through you'll most likely indentify which major liquidity providers ib has on board

zero spread? screw that, mbt seem to be able to quote -ve spreads for a fraction of a second. However, of course ... there's no way you can trade those quotes. I've tried to arb this and failed (via the api so there'll be no comments about speed). Even when the spread is tight market orders...
