Oanda or IB?

forestgril


Dear ssss,

The minimum amount for mini forex account with GFT is 500$. For a beginning, I would rather start with 250$, because I do not know my emotions during real play.

Is there any reasonable other choice besides Oanda for such a small capital?

For another reader*s -

1. Account manager(in case of MBT owner) knew not
(in case of MBT public lies) what he says/wrote

2.To author answered GFTforex U.K. ,not GFTforex USA

To your knowledge competence of FSA U.K. incomparable lower as competence of SEC USA and lower as competence of
CFTC (related to regulation forex based USA broker) .But better as in Swiss ,where Swiss forex market/broker are not regulated .

Better offer account only in USA ,not in U.K .
*************************************

Summary -not to send to any broker any cent ,with exception ,this which was won by trader contest with
entry without charge .

Any suspect -exist alternative ,buy multiple bottle*s of good
cognac . 250$ = approx 4 bottle of 0.7 litr Delamain Pal &DRy
25 years .GR.CH. (Delamain is one company in the world ,which not make cognac with age lower as 25 years) and drink with friends

Recently author won some money and would use prize money
to this objective*s

ssss,

thank You for Your funny statement about cognac :)

But I would rather start to be productive, because having fun with friends all the time is boring :)

Indeed, probably the consultants are not well informed. I asked my GFT consultant to clarify, so I will know tomorrow.

I think that a broker with a good position will not steal from small accounts, because every unhappy client on the forums makes them loose potential money from new naive clients.
 
ssss,

thank You very much for Your help.

I wish You better and better trades all the time, good times with friends and cognac :) and long times of beatifull silence at most!

....By the way ;] You seem to be very well informed. The way You write makes You a little bit mysterious - like old master of trading ;D Could You, please, give any more clues about trading? Where to search? I am a beginner (trading demo consistently for half of a year), interested in Elliot wave theory, which seems to work well on forex with fibonacci analysis. I am a nanoelectronics phycist with scientifical approach and have also good c++ programming skills. I will try to develop my own system or implement a working one. I would always appreciate every clue to make my dreams come true.

I know You "wasted" a lot of thime on this thread clearing out "banalities", but somehow I feel, that You really have a deep knowledge of the markets. If You wrote some clues here or to the PM... I would be grateful.

Anyhow thank You very much again :)

The advantage scientists bring into the game is less their mathematical or computational skills than their ability to think scientifically. They are less likely to accept an apparent winning strategy that might be a mere statistical fluke.

I've seen www.rentec.com

I have just started my PhD, I have my beloved girlfriend here and a child.

And also they need outstanding programists and I think, that I'm merely good.

But I plan to make consistently more than 500% in a year within 3 years, so the reward (150-250k USD a year) is not that important. Anyway I will think about trying to join them after I have my degree in nanoelectronics. It is more interesting than markets.
