    Trading the Currencies

    Choose something with tight spread like EUR/USD and trade when NY or/and London are open. Spread for EUR should be 2 to 3 or even 1 tick(s). The Yen is also liquid, but you always have to fight with a lot of zeros and IB account statements do not show the last 2 digits (AFAIK). Much nicer to...

    Ib Sucks

    There are a lot of things that can go wrong with these orders. You better want to use Globex native STP LMT orders. See also: www.interactivebrokers.com/discus/messages/4/7465.html?1042127916 I wonder if MDM Bud might have used simulated STP orders ? :confused:

    Ib Sucks

    Do not rely upon the executions window ! If I need to know my positions I always use the account window. During last 12 months I had about 2 to 3 executions that never showed up in executions window. It did not help to re-start PC and re-login to TWS. :confused:

    Daily Analysis FX

    Nico is definitely working for RTX. Do not give them your email address or phone number. What I did not like is that he starts new threads every day. And there is no need for a link to RTX.

    Who is the BEST Futures Broker/Trading Platform

    I like these order entry systems (in that order) 1. EasyScreen 2. FFastFill 3. IB TWS Commissions: I did not find any good rates for #1 and currently I use #3 which is fine for anything up to 200 or 400 roundturns per month ( depending on market/ product/ exchange fee).

    $4.90 round Turn w/ J-Trader!

    For connections below 64K (ISDN) you better use a plattform that does not need such a lot of bandwith as J-Trader does. Hint: You might want to have a look at BPS (incoming) for J-Trader and for IB TWS. ( BPS: bytes per second ) :(
