You can blow up just fine with 50 to 1 -- you don't need more loaded guns than those 50 pointed at your head.Quote from jackplash:
...but the leverage thing. Its only 50 to one! Is there some other firm that might have the same decent and reliable qualities as Oanda, with higher leverages?
Quote from Remiraz:
Oanda used to be good.
But I stopped using them because for years they simply REFUSED to update their platform or service!!
How many times over the past few years have we asked for a simple 10/15min charting? Until today Oanda simple REFUSED to give us 10/15min charts.
And they still charge you US$30 and more when wiring money back to your bank account.
Rating for newcomers to try out spot FX : 5 stars
Rating for professionals to trade FX : 0 stars (go IB trade the futures or ideal pro)
IB on the other hand...LISTENS and IMPROVE. We even managed to talk IB into lowering commissions across the board for Ideal Pro ($5 to $2.5).
Now if only I can talk Steve into selling his dog....

Quote from USMCinfantry:
All brokers charge 25 to 30 bucks to wire money there idiot
Quote from TradingWise:
Check out the game account, it holds the upcoming changes for FXTrade. You will find 15 min. charts, a new layout, a filter when generating history, and more.
I wondered about the $30 charge myself, maybe it's an incentive to keep money withdrawal requests to a minimum.
