    What kind of activity does Oanda consider as scalping and prohibits?

    IdealPro works on an ECN model in which they have multiple liquidity providers quoting the pairs throughout. At present, IB claims they have 10 or more providers (banks and brokerages) that provide these quotes. This helps allay such wide moves you see from some dealing desk brokers. Oanda's...

    What kind of activity does Oanda consider as scalping and prohibits?

    Try going with an ECN model instead of a dealing desk model. A dealing desk has to offset your trade whereas an ECN provides straighthru processing in which your trades are matched with those of another trader in their liquidity pool. ECNs don't worry about losses on rapid trades since they take...

    Any of you guys out there trading in the 80's? Same shit was being said about the Japanese and look where that got them! Buy US assets high, then sell them back later much cheaper.

    New York Traders Expo.....February 2008

    Ok, since you tend to lean toward the insult side of things from time to time, I'll give you a free lesson on buying fish - if the eyes are cloudy, it's a little old. If the eyes are cut out, it's more than a little old. Which do you think you'll find on Canal Street? Trick question, you find...

    New York Traders Expo.....February 2008

    I have lived on W57th st, W71st st, e19th, and BPC. After 15 yrs, I have had enough of NYC. Best thing I ever did was move out. (side note, thx Bloomberg, couldn't have done it w/o you) If I didn't have to work here, well... Tell me, how is Canal St on the weekend any better than Times...

    New York Traders Expo.....February 2008

    For those who are not familiar with the NY scene, weekends in NY are the pits. For starters, a third of the subway lines are usually closed as that is the time the MTA repairs them, and they need repair. Want to drive? It takes longer to drive into Manhattan on a weekend than during rush...

    According to their webpage: http://www.futuretrade.com/platform/multibroker.htm you can have this integrated rather quickly. It is just a front end for multiple broker trading. Integrating with IB from a technology standpoint doesn't seem like it would be that big a deal, it is more about...

    Australian Dollar

    New era. Howard out. Rudd in. Where does aussie head from here? Was recent sell off of obscenely priced aussie a "cover your profits" trade pending outcome of the election? Does it return to marching higher again? The US has already priced in a 100% chance of a 25 bp rate cut in Dec, even...

    Wall Street's BAD ASS!

    All this guy does is reinforce the position that "youth is wasted on the young." Got so many opportunities before him and he chooses prick. BTW, why are you starting threads about this guy? He's gone. Let him go. Shit like this will only bring the ego back.

    IB new forex spreads

    I don't have to. I've met the principles. I know Ray and Omar. They run an honest shop. You base your opinion of a firm just by looking at a simple website? Did you do a search here to see what others say about them before, say, you opened your mouth...

    If you want someone to pay you, get a job at GS or Merrill or Morgan. Prop firms don't pay you a salary. Your compensation is based upon how well you trade when it is you who are putting up the money. This is STANDARD.
