As far as HK and SG are concerned, Oanda offers these currencies. Also, have a look at GFT, I think they have a big variety,too.

http://www.whselfinvest.com/en/index.php Don't know wether they serve US customers... Have you considered futures ?

I understand what you are saying...by the way, Joesan - I recall that you were interested in the Kospi Options some time ago...are you still active in that market ?

Ahh...last night ( wednesday) was nice in the HSI:D By the way - can anyone recommend a suitable backup broker for the Asian futures markets ? At least for HK and SGX ? So far, IB has been good to me, knock on wood, but you never know...

XAU is just smashing ! But there has to be a way to get tighter spreads in the spot market, 0.6-.07 USD is just too much, imho. Where ( or through which broker) do the big guys trade Gold (spot) , anyone know ? I just can't believe they would pay those spreads - and the futures market is...

CME ---> very often one pip + comissions = less than 2 pips. But no fixed spread, as this is "real" trading, not bucket shop FX scam.

Magnus, these guys are ripping you off. GCI is by far the worst shop to trade with, just do some research on GCI on this board and you will understand. Regards, Marsupilami

Check out MB Trading, or go with Hotspotfx ( retail). FXCM also lets you trade on Currenex, check out PropFX. If you can put up 50.000 USD or more, bigger brokers let you trade on the Currenex, HotspotFXi, Lava platforms.

168, that's an interesting order. You are prefering ODL over Currenex ? Would you care to explain why ? Thank you!

Yeah, would love to hear more about EBS' spreads...especially in the minors, exotics !

Why don't you demo their currenex platform ? As I have been told, spreads depend on the broker you trade through. So trading on the Currenex platform doesn't necessarily have to be better than trading with Oanda with regard to transaction costs. I was surprised by the fact that spreads on...

What is it that would make them attractive to trade ? Thanks.

I have been demoing the MB platform now for about a week. If the spreads on their demo version resemble the real spreads, they should be ultra tight !! I had to rub my eyes first when I saw the 0.5 pip spread on EUR/USD or the 2 pip spread on NZD/USD at times. Yes, spreads are variable.

To prevent misunderstandings - I don't mean ZAR/PLN :D That would be highly illiquid indeed. But at least regarding ZAR/USD....there should be sth. going on....

Hi, does IB plan to add some exotic currencies to IdealPro, eg. ZAR,PLN ? Thanks, Marsupilami

Hehe, I was sceptical about this "interest free forex broker" thing right from the start... But: thinking about IB who offer both futures and forex trading from one account. I know that they do not offer Gold spot trading yet, so let's look at currencies such as NZ against the USD or...

Not in general. In Switzerland, for example, bank accounts are never insured by the government. In fact, there are more shady swiss than US based forex brokers , imho.

Hi there, I'm interested in trading the Danish/Norwegian/Swedish Krones...I know that Oanda offers them...what other choices of brokers do I have ? IB ? I'm planning to open up an acc. with Oanda anyway, but would like to have an account with another broker for safety reasons. Thank's...

Hello Lolo, could you please outline your strategy in a few words ? You seem to use certain levels...how do you arrive at these figures ? Is it pivots, fibonnaccis ? Thanks a lot and good trading ! Marsupilami

Brilliant ! What leverage do they offer ? I am now confident that I can manage a leverage of 400:1. I used to trade with a leverage of 100, that sucked. Too boring, imo. I think, in the 21. century, anything under 400:1 is a waste of time.
