That's simply not true. You can make a lot of money with low leverage (low means for me 1:1 up to 3:1). In good months I'm able to make about 20-30% using that low leverage. You can always trade with low leverage with any broker. Don't get blended ...

Old-Fashioned Bank Account Forex Trading?

Alpari UK. But they aren't available for US residents yet. As far as I know they start Alpari US soon. BTW: I find the MT4 platform horrible. Regards - Xaron

Looking for an MT4 broker that offers micros...

You can earn as much as possible. If you don't try to cheat your market maker that will be fine. I can only speak for Alpari UK (MT4 MM) and Oanda but both market makers have no problem with you if you make profits - no matter if these profits are ...

ECN and Market Maker questions

The only complaints I know are concerning the spread widening during news. I have to say that most of the complainers have no real clue how things going on in the forex market. Spread widening and slippage are common things... The only real ...

Oanda large accounts

They don't hedge every position but use some kind of a pool. I also think they make their main profit from spreads but also from small price variations within seconds like dealing desk brokers. To be honest I mainly use limit orders which are mostly ...

If you make money, does Oanda make money?

I use a leverage between 1:1 up to 3:1 per trade. I know, most new traders might find this boring but I can tell you it's possible to make 0.5-1% per day even with this low leverage... BTW: My leverage at Oanda is set to 50:1, but this has nothing ...

Is it good use high or low leverage as a beginner?

Yep, but they don't have a dealing desk - not a classic one. For my trading style it's ok. I don't scalp, I do grid trading with lots of limit orders (should have a 100KT status. *gg*). My fills are most of the time perfect as well as my take ...

Oanda large accounts

I like Oanda for carry trades as they calculate the interest per second. They pay very high rates, too. Regards - Xaron

which broker is better to do carry trade?

I have a 5 figures account with them and I'm happy with Oanda. Regards - Xaron

Oanda large accounts

Thanks! I keep it simple and use 5% of my margin per pair. I know this leads to different risks per pair. If you want to make it correct you would have to compute the position sizes based on the stop loss. But as I use a very small account I've ...

Weekly Pivot System

That looks fantastic but won't work. You will see... Regards - Xaron

100$ -->100,000$ (period: 12 months)

BTW: I'm surprised that almost no one seems to be interested in my weekly strategy. Maybe I've used the wrong thread title. Something like 1000 pips per month or 20% per month would be better, I guess. Finally a lot of (new) traders try to beat ...

Thanks. Both avatars (this one and the one at the Oanda forums) are from the short movie Fallen Art. It's a polish one but I think the bad guys there shall be Germans. Regards - Xaron

Hmm... I guess I should have named my thread "1000 PIPS PER MONTH!!!" or so. Regards - Xaron

The FED will cut and they will do it hard. 50 BP. They have no other choice. BTW: The US want a lower dollar as it lowers their liabilities, too. Regards - Xaron
