    A scalping ECN Forex broker?

    You may want to have a look at tradestation. I think they act as an ECN and their spreads seems ok, not fixed obviously. Comish is .2 pip. For their platform I have no clue but as long as I know it looks good. Minimum account 5k, free platform if you trade 10 round turn lots per month or 100...

    Market order with IB

    It's not rare to see a 0.05 bid 0.20 ask. So you wanted to buy and paid the spread. That's it that's all. That's how market makers make money.

    Market order with IB

    So, what was it in fact? was the price on the option 0.20 or 20$? If it was 0.20 then it's obviously easy to understand that one trade was made at 0.20 and the next at 0.05. No issue here. You just paid the spread on an out of the money option. Business as usuall. Am I right? Or was the price...

    Trading The Hang Seng

    MHI is the mini, trades from 20:45 to 23:30 then a break and another session from 1:30 to 3:30. New-York time. From 3am to 6am I think London and Paris is the place to go.

    Can you file for bankruptcy? Cuz I think 200k with minimum wage you'll never get over it. Did you make any calculation of how many years it would take? I've been in rough financial conditions in the past, and yes, taking note of every penny you spend help to reduce it. But on the long term it's...

    Opening Orders - 2009

    I am not "totally" automated. I only send take profit limits at a very good price where I dont limit that much my potential profit. I use max(fill+fill*0.01, FV) for longs and min(fill-fill*0.01, FV) for shorts. I like it becaues it places the orders with the right quantity and side so I gain...
