You are correct Cornix. Fxbook uses the investor password on MT4 and they take around 3-4 hours to verify your trades. Welcome to the discussion. It's always nice to chat with profitable trader. I recently opened a futures account to do some trading on the ES. If I detect that the currency futures are better, I'll switch those. For now, I really like the EURJPY because it can move 30-60-90 pips in a single swing. If I can get a piece of those moves, I'm happy. If there were a US-traded futures contract for that pair, I'd be smiling
Surf, I'll tell you about the only chicanery I have experienced: The account with the very high return is with IronFX, based in Cyprus. Sometimes orders take a few seconds to go through. To place a limit order, price has to be waaay away from the limit price. Essentially, they
force you to put in a higher-priced market order. I've complained but nothing has been done.
Another area where I think that there is a LARGE degree of chicanery is with automated systems on MT4. I tested some EAs that did fabulously at 1 broker, but blew out the accounts at 2 other brokers. Other people had the same experience. I'm convinced that there has to be some sort of MT4 plugin that allows brokers to screw your automated system if it's on a LIVE account.
This is why I trade manually. I recently saw a system that looks viable both manual and automated. I may pay for a coder to code it up for me, but I'm hesitant due to past experiences.
I don't have anything negative to say about Dukas or Thinkforex. Both are very excellent honest brokers.
