DBfx, the world's largest liquidity provider, what joke, look at the spreads. Why bother trading the world's largest liquidity provider but pay high end retail spreads.

its the uncertainty after the rumour, hardly irrational I think.

it would be interesting to see how this whole thing plays out. Oanda has to find a way to survive the business. In the meantime I am using my other broker too. The problem with bucket shops is that when something fishy happens or changes take place, there isn't a lot of transparency in...

Not averaging down or scaling whatever you call it is only recommended for amateurs who cannot handle the very nature of markets. How does ecn or not make scaling more scalable ? What do you mean by fool proof scalable ? care to explain ? Thanks in advance

yes cabletrader, i understand your point. eric, I am glad you are a happy customer with fxcm. Actually I just wanted to find out how fxcm is now, compared to 5 years ago. I am really curious as they use to receive a lot of negative feedbacks. I do not feel a need to change brokers...

hi cabletrader, i am not implying that you are showing off or anything. In fact you have been reasonable in your arguement and you prove it with real trades. apologies if you feel offended. I do appreciate you efforts in dispelling those myths. What I am trying to say is that, most people who...

without taking sides, lets just look at the facts in the nfa website, compare the main brokers and decide for yourself, everybody is free to choose what they want. Whether the broker is good or not, it is very hard to tell, coz profitable traders are hard to come by, let alone coming to...

I have been with mbt since its inception days (forex wise), although I dont use mt4, I believe it is better to wait for them to weed out potential problems first, which can take many months even after official launch. Remember those times when mbt defended themselves against not providing mt4...

Just noticed there is a debate going on about fxcm micro in another thread. Its ok, after looking at the nfa website and comparing to other brokers..... Anyway I just felt a an urge to open a new account, just for fun, I dont know why, maybe because it feels like having new toy. I am...

Thanks cabletrader, you are very helpful as always, why didnt i think of checking the NFA website.

hi, i would like to hear some feedbacks about FXCM. Are they more "trader friendly" now since they have changed to the ndd model ? How are the spreads etc ? Would like to hear from standard account users. Thanks very much mark

LOL relax cable. I am not sure about others, but you sure shed some light for me. So my thanks to you. Have you given up on CMC already by any chance ?

Whats a professional's leverage ? Typically a pro's deal size are already so large there is no point magnifying them 50 times or more, that is a different game altogether. People who can't handle a highly geared position are a combination of : -seriously under capitalized. -no idea...

oh ok...i see your point :D

Hi, Has anybody used this broker before ? Are they good for scalping ? How about safety of funds ?

It always appear that people who advocate limiting leverage or all the blah blah do not seem to have much control over their positions, or a lack of planning. The so called "limiting" leverage sounds more like hedging ignorance.

hey guys this should be of interest to you. Random equity curve simulator http://www.hquotes.com/tradehard/simulator.html

Well right now at 0255 hrs EST, EU spreads at Oanda are 3 and MBT is mostly 1 to 2.

Not since MB acquired EFX, I have never used their charts even when I was a EFX client. Which comes to mind, if you need sophisticated charts, then you are likely to spend more on charting too !! Adds up to your cost in business. Try Ninja trader.

agree, i have an account with them for slightly over a year, their commish is a little uncompetitive. However they still get away with it because MB provides a "playground" for people wanting to use a "ECN" platform with minimal opening fees. Thats how I started. But given current competition...
