Disconnections are oandas other name. When you say: "you know that broker that disconnects all the time" everybody knows you are talking about oanda's bucketshop

I feel genuinely sorry for your experience Doug. But if after 9 years you are still blaming your broker.....gosh....thats not good!! It is your fault for not closing the position when it went against you. Sorry but there is no way to sugar coat it. ...

Would it be too much trouble to pay me back my $20,000, my sexy darling?

LOL !! See how you guys can't get it!! Metatrader became what it is because a guy called coders guru wrote a understandable tutorial so the regular guy could do it. The regular guy will not go through a 500 page C# book to learn how to code ...

Thats what I'm saying. They would have to come up with something relatively easy so most people that want can learn and code. I learned MQL4 based on coders guru tutorial. I'm not a good coder but I can code pretty much what I need. FXCM either ...

Funny to hear the same complaints over and over about metatrader. Puzzling to imagine why brokers prefer to spend money on tech support, royalties, etc than compete with metatrader. FXCM a multimillion dollar company claiming to be the number one in ...

My long term strategy going good Looking forward to take profit around 1.16....even if it deeps again

Not true. I'm not talking about brokers freaking disclaimers. I'm talking about real negative balances and attempt to collect it. I'm in this business for almost 10 years and I never....let me repeat NEVER heard of a retail trader having to make ...

Forex changed forever!

So...... I guess it became official. Rumors and gossips apart FXCM emailed all their customers this weekend about the fact that you can lose more than your whole account. Just another brick in the wall dividing the Forex we knew ( before the SNB) ...

Forex changed forever!

First let me say that as a trader I believe NDD is the best for me (again speaking as a trader) so I'm not bashing you guys. But still reading through your answer I can't believe a broker giving up on all the traders losses in order to just HAVE ...

An unfathomable mystery still remains!! Why in the world would a broker abandon a MM model to become an ECN. The ECN only source of revenue is the commission, which calculated is very similar to the price of spreads on a MM. Now a MM on top of the ...

I left oanda many years ago, but I stop here in the thread once in awhile just for fun. It is funny to see people asking the same questions over and over again. Maybe after 8 years as a trader I'm losing my patience but...... Come on folks ! Do some ...

They are basically putting in writing the obvious. It would cost them too much to go after those pocket change accounts, so they write it down with a "any market condition" assurance and the small guy feels safer. In other words....they are ...

I tried to peep at my charts while having sex, once or twice ( well...maybe three times ) and my wife didn't like it at all !!

Is Trading Forex And Making Money Better Then Sex?

Me I live in Florida and I trade London time, which means waking up 3 AM every day.

anyone living in the Americas and trading London open?

FXCM should adopt a hybrid broker approach. Stupid people want to trade those stupid pairs and get rich in a few minutes....so let them. ECN model for the tamed pairs and MM model for the rest.

ALPARI showed us that segregated accounts mean nothing.

FXCM Discussion

Run on the broker!! Alpari brand is done!! can't blame the Japanese, I myself was one of the first to put a withdraw request on FXCM (my secondary broker) on 1/15. I'm pretty confident on my 2 primary ones but to refund my FXCM account just after ...

Forex changed forever!

I believe they sent those letters to all their customers with a negative balance. It does not mean much because they will only go after the guys who they know can pay. If some naive retailer pays it, they will gladly take it but they have their eyes ...
