CL Redux

i only too 30 ticks the dollar is lookin' BOSS I might go buy a million uup in my equity account for a long term play. Is there anything slightly more levered than the UUP?
 
Quote from Zr1Trader:

Also, Peter Brandt in his book "diary of a professional commodity trader" was talking about how slippage/spread is what the broker is making on top of your comish and that it's unethical for brokers to be greedy by taking advantage of slippage/spread from customers. Can anyone expand on this as I have never worked on the broker side of things?

Just recalled your post...Peter was referring to forex retail "brokers" who aren't really brokers but market makers in forex who are at liberty to widen spreads and slip the customer extra ticks on stops. They can do this simply because unlike in futures, there is no actual one central market for foreign exchange.
