They're usually pretty good on the live chat. Try that if you still have problems getting a demo account going. There should be no hold ups as it is now the live options system. Prime is now defunct, even though it didn't have the bugs that Prodigy ...

That being the case I feel sorry for those based in the US. It's surprising Alpari don't offer it through the UK division - maybe they will in future? Still no response from the customer service department - very poor.

Go Markets offer an Android MT4 platform as of yesterday.

Does any brokers MT4 mobile can be run into Android OS?

FX Options Brokers — This week I have received notification from Alpari US that their options trading platform is now live. It looks very good, and there are lots of pairs, strikes to choose from, some spreads are good, some not so good, it ...

Thanks, it's back to a respectable level.

What's up with the spread on AUDJPY on GoMarkets lately? It's gone through the roof! I wrote an EA a few months ago, in which my spread limit for AUDJPY was 4.5pips. It hardly ever hit that limit. Most of last week the spread was 8pips or more.

In simple terms if you purchase 1 lot of gold, if the price moves $1 you profit/lose $100. The spread is 50c, ie. $50 on one lot. Hope that simplifies it.

Type it in, same as if you want to go larger than 1,000,000. Under 100,000 you get an additional charge though.

Maybe it's the contract sizes? My trades are substantially bigger. I only go RFQ under the situations I mentioned above. Maybe they really do have you on "the list". I have only had a chat to a dealer once, in the beginning, when the whole platform ...

I took a look at the Quantum demo it seems to be practically identical to the old software. The only difference being you have one piece of software open and select between tabs rather than having 2 programs running. I haven't had any problems ...

I'm not saying do or don't do anything. Your trading decisions are entirely yours. Personally I try to stay away from dealer intervention as much as possible because the quotes aren't as good and there is a delay between requesting a quote and ...

Yes & No. Yes if it's still in the auto-execution range (ie. quoted in the table) & not the expiry week. Remember they all revert to request for quote in the expiry week. When you get a dealer quote it takes a lot longer than in the demo. Someone ...

All of it was worked out by trading with them, I didn't hear about it from anywhere. What I meant was in the last week you have to use the request for quote function, rather than auto-execution, even if the price is quoted in the table on the ...

I haven't had any problems. It works great, but I think you are limited to 20 alerts a day. I've used it for about 3 months now and there has been no sms advertising or anything like that, if that's what you were getting at?

NZ, but account still has to be held in US dollars (for options).

As far as I know Alpari US are the only ones with options, but they did not answer some simple questions about the margins and the spreads or whether I am even able to open an account with them, or if it's demo only at the moment. The fact they they ...

When you open a real account with Ikon you use Prime for options trading and Mega for trading spot. They both access the same funds from the one account and the margins do offset each other correctly. In demo format the accounts are not linked, but ...

Wow! Thanks! I've just spent all day looking for an android forex alert app that uses push, didn't find anything, and then read your post - just what I was looking for. The previous alert app I was using drained the battery too much for my liking - ...

Yes, it is something to be aware of. All quotes revert to dealer quotes in the week of expiry and you can't trade into/out of your position from 24hrs prior to expiry. You need to keep this in mind if you have a short position near your strike price ...

So to summarise, if you want to open to sell and trade OTC, the choices are basically Ikon FX & Saxo bank. The spreads and margining requirements are better on Ikon, but Saxo offers more currency pairs. My only aversion to Ikon is having to hold ...
