is spot fx better then future fx?

Quote from Paliz:

You seem very protective of IB, and that is why I'm saying this. And now you are becoming very offensive, and that's to show that my assumbtion might have some truth to it. My system froze on my the day of 9/18/2007 while trading with IB while I was profiting big time. After my system froze, I realized that I have lost a big chunk of my profits.

I don't really see how my post was offensive. The onus is clearly on you to describe why you claim IB cost you 20,000 dollars, and I said that. If you give a reasonable explanation of why firm XYZ should be avoided, then smart people may listen. Else you join the crowd of fools who jump on forums to claim they got screwed because they were unfamiliar with this or that about trading a specific market.

Do I defend IB? Not anymore than the next satisfied customer. In fact, this has little to do with IB specifically in this case. I take issue when people come on forums and say "FIRM XYZ BLOWS, AVOID AT ALL COSTS" without justification.

Like I said, lay forth your reasoning to avoid being labeled a fool.
 
Forgot to mention....i use Ensign Windows for charting, Esignal for forex data..with MB Trading data as a data backup. Ensign offers free FXCM forex data with their charts, but I wouldnt even trust/allow FXCM to walk my dog for that matter.....

Yeah, I said that I was looking for alternatives to IB's IDEALPRO offering, but my own research to trading costs and opinions I've gathered from others have failed to sway me to another firm.

I think IB is great for forex, but I dislike the minimum commission structure of 2.50 per side. I'll typically trade in fairly large size for longer term positions, but I also like to scale in and out at 25-35K lots to build up/wind down positions. The minimum round-trip commission is 5 bucks... hardly great if you're only doing 25k at a time.

Here you are again trying to accuse me of what you do, why do you dislike me so much? Does it bother you so much for me to complain about what happened between me and IB? Or is it that you have nothing else to do?
