Choosing a Broker?

Pippi436 · Oct 14, 2008

Its r, looking at a live view account of i tho since a few weeks, and spreads aren't really much different. Trading on oanda for the most part now.

MT4 is good, tradestation would be the best but they do not have a good forex trading broker set up yet. Interbank FX is one of the best retail brokers, even if some paranoid traders think that they do some funny business with stop hunting.

Deutsche Bank stock analysis and prospects, their analysis are top notch... I haven't seen their forex reports, but everything I've seen from them has always been very impressive.

I'm using FXCM. Very limited amounts of problems.

In fact out of the 4 brokers I've used, FXCM has so far been the best. I didnt setup an account with them by choice.

...because you dont understand it, lol!!!

You must be the only guy in the universe who prefers bucketshops that trade against you over an ECN based broker which charges commission but has no interest other than you succeeding in order to trade more. Pathetic!!!

Quote from cabletrader:

I didn't mean bucketshop in a derogatory way, I think bucketshops are great and I much prefer them over ECN's.

Don't forget to add commission to your 1-2 and 2-4 spreads, but Oanda will narrow spreads during the day, usually Eur/Usd is .9

Interactive Brokers forex platform sucks in my opinion

lol, you truely described yourself!!! Nothing to be added, LMFAO.

Quote from cabletrader:

I've got nothing against IB really, it just didn't suit my trading style whereas bucketshops are a near-perfect fit. I've read too many stories like this, I don't like the 'real' market, they don't play nice

lol, I hope you realize you're answering a thread that's over 5 months old, I'm truly flattered that you've spent time trawling my old posts though

But anyway, I'm not the bucketshops only client you know, I'm hardly the "only guy in the universe"!

And as for them trading against me, well if that's their intention then it doesn't look like they're doing a very good job of it, I keep making money! As I've already said, I much prefer a bucketshop over a supposed ECN. As can be seen from the trading blotters I've posted they suit me just fine!

Over 4,000 pips of profit on these trading blotters......by the way where are some of yours, all we hear from you is hot air, lol. Yep you're right, it is pathetic!

Have a nice weekend, try not to spend all of it reading through my posting archives
