And thats how the buckets get em... Lack of Patience... My 1st Forex trade was one of the UsdJpy and I held for 10 days to pick up 500 pips..... Patience.... Thats using the leverage properly.....

The commish on the left side is representative. The right is merely a breakdown for quick understanding. These are MONTHLY thresholds Just as it states in the column header..... It resets every MONTH. Not daily....

I use amibroker and backtested my program. AB is not that difficult and the community is extensive.... You just have to work out data.

I think it was by chance. It just closed me out of a short the day before and called the reversal... I was surprised. Here is my suggestion... Learn the market and program your own system. This is just mere dialogue... I mention this trade because it took me by surprise...

I'll take the last word... 20 point spreads are unacceptable under any circumstances. 'Nuff said.....

ROFLMAO!!!!! DId you catch a nice portion of that USDCAD reversal... :) On that subject, during that spike, my spread maxed at 3 pips, now it's back to the usual 2 pips. Gotta love it. :)

I was wondering what the foreground platform was. :D I had oanda for all of 30 days. LOL. Hated it... I was waffling between using IB and Oanda, figured I'd just use IB for futures and tackle Oanda. RAN back to IB for FOREX...

I have used FXCM, Oanda and IB for Forex. I prefer IB by a WIDE margin for all the reasons I listed above and then some. 50:1 margin may seem limiting but with a 10k account your margin for a 100K lot of the EURUSD, USDCAD or USDJPY is about $2000 Trading that size and grabbing a 100 pip...
