168, Point of curiosity...are you male or female? TruNorth

168, See, http://www2.oanda.com/cgi-bin/msgboard/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=15&t=005483

168, If one clicke don and explored every retail forex broker online ad, it would be a second career sorting out thier offerings, liquidity, and financial lackaging of the trade. I appreciate the suggestion, however, I'd really like to hear from people who have been with a retail currency...

168, I've never heard of them. Do you have any experiencing trading with Trade Freedom? TruNorth

Toronto Trader, Thanks for suggesting Questrade. Some others had. I looked into them., however, found that (even though they are Canadian-based) they do not allow traders to hold a CAD account. Their opening pip spreads are not very competitive either (EUR/USD 3, USD/CHF 5, USD/JPY 4)...

Bill, Thanks, but I can find a retail broker in Canada who will allow me to hold a CAD account. If not that, a reputable American broker. I'm not too keen about sending my money overseas. But thanks for the thought.

NotSavant, Actually Elite Trader does...just not one red-faced with embarassment. You probably overlook a lot of things, though. FYI, they've been directly to the left of your text field while you've been bent over frothing at your keyboard --eight lovlies to choose from, for those into...

Te broker from GFT phoned me back, at which time I found out I had written his phone number down incorrectly, hence the Raymond James Financial Services contact. Ouch. Is there an red-faced icon one can add to one's posts in this forum? My apologies to GFT "Karl"

Oh, I left off one portion of the GFT broker's address, it's Suite 900 Serious recommendations only pls. Let's not mess the board with kiddy stuff, ok?

168, Yeah, I agree. UBS I looked at CMC's platform yesterday and uninstalled it soon after. I had left a call with GFT yesterday about whether they allow CAD currency accounts and got a call back from someone with Raymond James Financial Service, 2 North Riversie Plaza. Sounds as...

xenia, Thanks for the sugestions. Have you ever used GFT? I looked at them yesterday and their demo doesn't appear to allow CAD vase currency. You're saying their live version does? "Karl"

bl, haha Never thought it that way. Should female traders just say, un-huh, and move on? haha I'm still researching other retail currency brokers. Would appreciate any serious recommendations. Many thanks Karl ;)

Anyway..... I really appreciate the thoughtfulness I've received on the board regarding identifying a reliable retail currency broker who will allow me to trade from a CAD account. I know we've all gone thrugh these searches before and everyone is busy with their own trading, so the...

Oooooook.... You've made the point that you're arrogant and shrill. That speaks for the value--if any--of what you post, so spare us, please? BTW, if I created a nick DrTruNorth, it wouldn't make me a doctor. Typing Mrs in front of a nick, doesn't mean someone is a female either. It is...

zf, My interest is in purchasing in a short or long position units of one currency (with CAD funds) against another currency (e.g., EUR/USD). I would like to be able to watch a real-time graph of the EUR/USD spot exchange rate so that I can determione when I want to close the position and...

I finally got my trading account funds back from Oanda today, after being told told yesterday by "frontdesk" it would take "3 to 5" business days for the funds to be returned (although wire transfer of my funds to them took only a few hours in the late afternoon). This required my sending an...

bl, Your advised: "If you use email support, or fill a email contact ticket at Oanda's site, these will go to actual Oanda employees or at least that's the way I understand it to be. I've never had anything but good experiences of their email support." The only email address I've ever...

Thanks for the suggestions. I have sent an email to Dr. Michael Stumm. I have not been able to locate a mailing address for Dr. Richard Olsen. As regards referring to tech support or customer support desk people as "the kid I spoke to," let me stress that I use this term not when...

zf, I trade the daily trends. I'm as impressed by anyone who can trade currency options as you appear to be by somene who can trade during the day. I'd grab my heart and hit the floor over the very thought that I could predict what a currency's value would be at a given future time. yikes...

zf, Yes, I agree, and understand, that most brokers (probably all) that have offices in Canada have head office in the States. I should have clarified...I would prefer a broker who has an office in Canada (even if head office is i the States), but most importantly, I want to be able to open...
