Is it wiser to.......?

Well they are free whether I trade or not...like the simulated platform is...




Quote from dandxg:

ES,

Cmon your charts aren't free they are built into the spread. The cost to trade is more expenisve unless you fix you pip value at some ridiculously low value which makes trading not worth it. I pay under $6 RT for currency futures, I would love to hear a forex trader tell me they pay less than that for a comparable pip value.

Little or no protection for spot forex traders vs. decent protection with currency futures traders, although I am reinvestigating at what level the protection is.

Don't get me wrong, I have considered mixing forex with currency futures, but I can't see much appeal to forex, other than increased potential leverage, which is a bad thing for most of us, not a good thing.

Look forward to responses as well.

I trade through IB using their ECN. I'm pretty happy with it but I just thought I'd probe and get some feedback from others who've used both.
By the way Electric, after trading through a rather well known MM previousely, I can honestly say I'd NEVER go back (for a few reasons). Also, if I compare the price feeds from IB to the MM its quite apparent that the MM leans into the maket my more than a few pips, effectively expanding their quoted spread.
 
ES,

Point well taken, I have a demo account at Oanda, true tech it is free, with the hopes I trade live with them. For now I will stick to CME FX for real trades.
