works well until broker X sees that they are losing a crap load of money and re-adjusts their swap.

Triangular Arbitrage

And here's a tip to you, the NFA has zero enforcement powers. An NFA regulated broker can close up today and use my funds to pay off their friends, family members, and anyone else who invested in their business. Why would a broker let people trade ...

Anyone trading news here?

Only way I know of is: Right click, save as template, give it a new name. Open new chart, right click, choose the proper template. Another option is to have your chart setup and drag the currency pair from the left hand Market Watch Quote List onto ...

Duplicating Charts in MT4

Any broker that will fill you during news events with no slippage is trouble. Sure you might make some small profits for awhile, but, try to withdrawl any large amounts of profits and you will be in for a shock. This has all been done before. There ...

Anyone trading news here?

Probably because a lot of people (brokers) are getting very rich off of manipulated spreads, trading against clients, etc. If there was a central exchange, they would be limited to making money only by commissions which is not enough for these ...

Why not a central Forex exchange?

Great post. Thank you.

Liquidity is King.

LOL FXCM is the counter party to our trades according to the new customer agreement yet they are blaming the "real" market for the change in swap rates? It seems they want to have their cake and eat it too. As far a retroactively removing your ...

Thanks fiberangel. After doing more research, it appears currenx spreads are crazy now also. However, I disagree with your statement on the safety of our funds. I beleive Justin wrote something awhile back about how MB or their parent company (do ...

Wow. Thats scary. Running a forex broker is like getting a license to steal....

What is this chart spike?

Justin, Whats up with spreads on GBPUSD lately? They were 10 pips quite often and there were no news events. Did MB lose some liquidity providers during this shakeout on Wall St? Also, how is MB positioned to get through this crisis in the financial ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Yes. You are basically taking the broker's money. This is why BK does not want to share what broker he is using (which is understandable). If everyone jumped on this, the broker would figure it out and correct their swap rates. Side note - ...

For anyone who is interested, there is a very good post about this topic here: url Unfortunetly, that thread died about a year ago. I would love to discuss this in more detail with anyone who has experience, we can also do this in private via PM ...

FXCM has a large net worth so I would say you are safer then with most other spot forex brokers. BurgerKing is right - anytime you deposit funds with a USA based spot forex broker you are at risk of losing them should they go into bankruptcy.

Fxcm question and safety of our funds

The big flaw in this system is slippage on the "real" market. If you are waiting for a big breakout, especially after a news event, your stop orders will be slipped and possibly filling you at the worst possible price. I note that the OP uses Oanda. ...

the Set and Forget Pivot Net system

Well if they show FXCM as #2 then I would highly question them listing IB as #1.

Is Interactive Brokers really #1?
