The red paladin VPS works cool on iPad. Its not an Ipad version, just a vps i access from my browser that lets me use the regular desktop version. i use with with CMS/Forex.com but i think ibfx has it too.
when you look at the zulu leader board, click on the traders. you can then see their histroy of other usernames theyve used. most of the leader were leaders in the past until their systmes blew up. then they create a new username and start again. Ha!
The equity curve for most of them...
Not really Gcap. Look at the terms of these promos. They are basically paying traders $10 a trade back - or exactly the same thing they have been giving to IBs for years... more or less a 1 pip rebate directly to the clients. Doenst seem like a bad deal to me.
You know what else is too bad? All introducing brokers are going to have to be guaranteed. This means those "ibs" that give you a part of their rebate back for opening account through one of the many fdms they work with will be gonzo.
Too bad - was a nice way to get an addiional 0.4 or so...
What type of swap fee are they charging? They can't possibly be charging/crediting you with the full interest rate differential EVERY time you are long/short even if not through 5pm????
Thats pretty wild.
I have been looking at the USDZAR as a new carry trade play. On some platforms, the sell interest for the pair is around $20. SA economy looking prett good - postinga trade surplus, gold prices, etc. Not to mention the upcoming world cup boost.
Actually - thats wrong.
An FDM is classified as a firm thats primary business is Off-Exchange FX trading, as opposed to an FCM thats primary business is on-exchange traded products.
It has nothing to do with execution model of taking the opposite side of trades or not.
actually, the majority of forex dealers will tell you that they DON'T offer the same price to all of their clients at any given time. Read the "NFA disclosure" that they are all required to include in their account applications.
USDJPY has futzed around 100 a couple of times now. Any significance one way or the other if it closes this week above or below 100??
My instinct tells me one way or the other could prove the start of a nice trend in either direction next week.
Been on demo with these guys for the past couple of weeks. The spreads today didnt budge during nonfarm - anyone trading live can verify that those same spreads could be traded on today?
