    MB Trading announces Pay for Limits in Forex

    Still confused: just to clarify, if I am taking liquidity, it is -2.95 and if I provide liquidity, it is +1.95 - these are now just "routing fees" and MB no longer charges commissions on trades? Even the website explanation is a little confusing.

    Considering joining this Prop firm

    I believe that the most you can get under PM is 6:1, and even that is no guarantee - depending on the portfolio makeup, you could actually get less than Reg-T 4:1 leverage on your funds.

    MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract,

    re: Fox News IT would be a brilliant move by Fox to try to get him on the network. It would make good business sense to have someone like Obie there to tweak at the status quo and would in the long run bolster their claim to be "Fair and Balanced". Don't be surprised if Ailes makes a run at...

    is it possible to automatically post my trades on ET in realtime?

    You would probably need a decent working knowledge of php or hire someone who can get into the nuts and bolts of the forum software to write something that would be able to do what you want it to do based on the software rules.

    IB Clients, do you use your security device to log-in?

    Yes, I use it. It's a no brainer. If you want to access it without the key, you can set up an additional log on id that does not use the keys and you can limit it to very limited activity, like trading, but as you know, you still open yourself up to someone hacking your id and making trades...
