They will not take you on FXI at 50k. I trade under a corporation with a 6 figure account, and I trade with Fxr.

HotspotFX is another broker i trade through. The spreads do widen, as does every ECN during news, but it narrows back quickly unlike OANDA. The spreads are good and it is $3 per RT in commission per 100k. Since I trade 30 min timeframe as a minimum, the 10 pip issue is of no concern to me.

JUST because they give you the extra leverage factor, nobody is putting a gun to your head and forcing the trader to overextend a good MM plan.

ET is known for Quality? There is very little quantity or quality in the forex section of ET. If I have missed this elusive quality, please feel free to show me the error of my ways.

Not a frickin' chance is she making that kinda dough....no way no how...nada. You have her paid like a top flight network news anchor...and she isn't even the top dog on a cable network show. And if CNBC was really raking in the cash and could afford the salaries you are all suggesting...why...

I followed jack's methods for both swing trading equities and day trading futures. The equities trading works really well....if the market timing is bullish or turning bullish. The day trading of the futures market is a whole other ballgame. Jack attempted to spend an hour or two every day...

HAHAHAHAHAH! By far the best post in this thread...imho. Please feel free to hop a plane down here to Panama on on of those trips :)

No offense man, but please READ what is being said. Of course the spread widened for the CPI. However the spread had narrowed and then widened AGAIN for the releases at 9:15. Last time I checked, the reports being discussed are released 45mins after CPI. In addition, none of the other 4 feeds...

I realize I have choices. I actually do have other accounts, however I was still trading one method (and as a backup) using OANDA as it was the first forex broker I used for forex trading (sort of ). However, some entries have been triggered on numbers moves, and I have not entered due to...

What a friggin joke....it never used to be this bad for every single eco release. I mean, they may as well just say, please do not trade numbers as our system can not handle them properly. The other 4 feeds i was watching did not widen at all.

Wow...a 10 pip spread for a full 9 minutes 30 sec after the release was out....i think their hedging algorithm needs some work.

Who the hell cares about share fees in a FOREX BROKER thread?

Of course i did. I do not hedge as you suggest, but I do have a second account that I fund and use for Longer Term plays. For instance I am holding a couple of lots of long USD/CAD with an average of 1.10; I have already scaled some out; next targets are 1.15 and 1.18 and my stop is at 1.1230...

Well, the hike in rates to me means a need to slow the pace of growth (this aspect is lackingn in EUR and hence they have not had to raise rates) and rising prices (inflation). That does not necessarily translate to a bad US economy...a soft landing is not out of the question. Look at the GDP...

What aspect of this move does not make sense to you? It is data driven and geopolitically driven (flight to safety)....both aspects have been dollar positive to various degrees; elevated CPI tomorrow would lock in another rate hike for August....rates will be 6% in the US by the end of the...

Did not know that...thanks. However, I am already setting up my main trading on the currenex platform. I was going to leave my current account at Oanda for my swing trading. I am going to move it also...it has more to do with a perk i am getting elsewhere rather than a problem with OANDA...

First...learn to read. Second, as I stated there are a lot of very good things about this broker, especially their totally flexible lot sizing and spreads. But are you serious in saying that their trading platform is the best for forex?? You have to either be joking or else you have never...

I am not sure if you are talking about a trailing stop loss etc. I am not concerned about following a quote. My point is that risk and reward "default setting" levels should be based on the position taken...nothing else.....as nothing else matters. Color me stupid, but I think that is a...

I have extensive previous experience using the currenex platform. There are pros and cons to both spot forex and futures; things are not always rosy with the CME.....as a former index futures trader I know this first hand...get stuck on the wrong end of broken trades after the dust settles...

Hmmmm....well as I normally do not leave trade windows open for a length of time prior to placing an order I have (aside from one other occasion, and it was not large and had assumed the reason was slippage ) not noticed the s/l being off of the 30 pips. As well, I did not blame the broker (I am...
