Hey Jason, Hope you're well :) Quick questions: Any time frame on dealing desk spreads coming to FXCM Canada? There's a lot of crosses that didn't receive a spread improvement with the dealing desk option... it appears the spread improvement hasn't been applied across the board. Is...

Excel should show the add-ins tab after an add-in has been installed. If no add-in has been installed, no tab will show. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/add-or-remove-add-ins-HP010342658.aspx Hope that helps.

Just a thought, but some brokers who act as a market maker can fill such orders without too much additional cost. For example, Oanda will do so up to 10 million per fill at their inside quote. Your total cost of trading will be a bit wider than the ECNs, ~1.2 pips during liquid times on the...

If you ever have to manage the execution of a 50mm sized order that MUST be done within a few seconds then you'd understand how ONLY a pip or so of slippage is ok (in fact, rather good all things considered.)

Ignore the Dan guy posting.. not only did he miss that you use NinjaTrader, but he seems to only post about his broker in all 3 posts of his. You probably should check out the list of supported brokers off NinjaTrader's site since that's your requirement...

This is why I'm glad you're posting again. lol

:p I donno... paying retail commissions for the privilege of busting out an over-leveraged $5k account as I try to make enough to cover my platform fees and expenses each month with a firm that clearly isn't operating within US regulations sounds like a hell of a deal to me. Where do I...

That's like.. the same as a few retail shops. Lightspeed doesn't have a platform fee either: http://www.lightspeed.com/?page_id=5061 Interactive Brokers is even cheaper... Something's not legit about this...

When you think you're a superstar, the market pays you with reality checks.

Not for nothing, but even if you are now a 'humble newb', it's only after the market kicked you around in front of everyone. NoDoji also references the PM's that lead up to you being put on ignore. It wasn't your act in this thread but direct communication with her that got you cut off...

imagine if he was trading with more leverage, like what's offered outside of the US... this thread would be a lot shorter lived.

fair enough, thanks

Yeah, I was wondering how a trader would do spread trading and holding positions over multiple days/weeks if the limit was 3-5 contracts and the base combines were focused on directional risk. Was just a thought, I don't see that style fitting well with TST..

Thanks. So that means you're leaving equity with them to build a 15k buffer so you can do as you pleas? That 15k is a first loss type deal eh?

Was Mike more interested in butting heads with londonkid than answer questions? :/

For you it stands for: Not Flippin' Prepared :p

Forgive me if this has already been answered, but: Say someone gets funded on a lower level combine (30k or 50k).. How would they move up to 100k+ or the custom funding levels? Also, are commission breaks possible in circumstances (volume)?

Demo? I've never understood the appeal to binary options. The broker fully discloses the odds being against the trader, you deal directly against the broker (they set the price, the make the market,) and your upside is always capped.

This. Also my experience. That's why I said this sounds odd way back when this thread started. I'm not suggesting the OP didn't experience what he did. . . If it wasn't a coincidence, then something's monkeying around with orders before it reaches the exchange.. I'd look at the executing...

Good luck to both of you! :) Keep in mind, even the best traders have down days/months, don't let the pressure of everyone watching change how you trade. Other experienced traders are going to recognize decent trade decisions regardless of the outcome over a 10 day period.
