Problem with my broker regarding the news trading!

I don't consider 4 out of 5 trades "random", and I'm not paying anymore than 3 pips spread on the Gbp/Usd to trade the Gbp/Usd. I am also trading Currenex at a big institution, and no complaints there either.

Forum rules will not allow me to state at this time. I will tell you this. I have only had one loss so far and I don't really consider it a loss. Last week on teh Nzd/Usd, the price got real crazy at one minute prior to the release and took me in ...

1. This is a true statement. My institutional broker requires $75KUSD 2. I pay $10USD per turn/per lot to get STP (straight thru processing) on the retail side and it's worth every penny. 3. If someone has the proper set-ups like I do, then you will ...

Problem with my broker regarding the news trading!

I disagree. 15 seconds prior to the release, my eyes are glued to the screen for the pair I am trading. As soon as my trade executes, I can see my entry price. In the last two month, I've been slipped maybe twice but still made money. I got slipped ...

My Spreads — BTW, I am currently seeing anywhere b/t 0-3 pip spreads (I have floating spreads) on the Gbp/Usd at news time, and I am direct through Currenex.

Owen, To achieve what it seems you would like to do with your trading, you may have to move to an institutional platform that has a direct feed to Currenex. Because of forum rules, I am not at liberty to discuss brokers, but I can give some ...

He's not faster. The moron uses BB. That's another reason BB is going after him. How would you feel if someone was discounting your product while actually using it to generate $50K+/mo. off of it? BB is the fastest. BB is almost a second faster than ...

That very same idiot is the reason that Oanda has jacked up the spreads and getting people either scolded or thrown out. You can thank your resident idiot for calling Richard Olsen the Pres. of Oanda and telling him he wanted to bring over hundreds ...

Good Advice — You have listed some VERY good advice here, as you should not use this EA or any other news trading service for the spike on every FA that is released. As I said, I pick and choose the news I trade on my big account, so you ...
