    IB & forex

    Most fx has point n click interface for ease of order entry. After having worked on Currenex and Hotspot and various other MM brokers, switching to TWS took some getting used to since it is geared more toward keyboard entry then mouse. By using Ninja, I am able to enter my TP and SL's at entry...

    negative thanksgiving sales news + mumbai = gap down friday ?

    I'm more predisposed to believe the fact that we are up 1200 pts in 5 days and due for some profit-taking on a light volume day rather than "possible" weak sales data that may come out next week. Aside: Went by Best Buy in NYC and there were already people camped out for tomorrow's early...

    ok, so what FX brokers DON'T suck

    It's not Currenex, if that's what you are looking for. It's different. More like a strategy editor (of sorts) than a point and click front end. I like it because a)trading off the depth is better than IB's b) I can enter tp's and stops better than using bracket trader (not as well as choicefx...

    ok, so what FX brokers DON'T suck

    IB is NOT the easiest platform to enter spot fx trades, even using their FX Trader front end. You still got to play with it to get it right especially if you are used to all the pretty platforms that preceded your decision to look at IB. I too use Ninja as my front end. It really facilitates...
