ahh one other option I know of for non-U.S clients that might be nice... MF Global... haven't tried them though... 5k startup I believe?? I am in the U.S so I can't use them. not sure if anyone uses them, but if so let us know how it is.

Which is the best broker for scalping?

ahh for you it is breakfast, but for me here in NY, it is right before bed... so it's either a good night sleep, or tossing and turning in anger. lol yup, have a good one pip.

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

lol yes that would be crazy... I guess if you were crazy enough and had a good sized account, it could be profitable, lol. getting ready for some scalps, I like a bit before frankfurt into london. After london open, I usually stop... too crazy and I ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

yup. I like fractional, but also see the benefit of 4th decimal, such as volume. As we know, the real market is 4th decimal, but fractionals allow tighter spreads, and overall I feel it is better for scalping (not because of the spreads) but because ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

depends on your startup capital... less then 10k, oanda. 2.5-5k.. you could try FXDD's powertrader, but know it's not true CNX, it's viking CNX, I still choose oanda. But, out of all those ECN's, they do give the best deal on commission that I know ...

Which is the best broker for scalping?

I scalp price action on very fast TF's.. and I would do the same as I would on higher timeframes... price action is price action. If you can't work on lower timeframes, try the higher timeframes, they are easier on the brain. Find what works for you ...

ok thats it!!! trading is more an art then a math algorithm

when i get slipped, its more my exits that get slipped then my entries... my entries I pinpoint and do not see much slippage at all... my exits I just take when price stalls and looks to turn around, in in some cases I get slipped positively on ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

no, of course I have that disabled, it's a different window, just a pop-up window saying that it's out of bounds so the order can't be filled at that price. it doesn't happen everytime, but I can't risk it when it does.

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

well, when you can't get filled because of very strict bounds settings (like 0-.3), a message pops up saying it could not fill you at that price. Then you have to click ok and try to do it again. When scalping fast timeframes.. this is a no-no, and, ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

if you are scalping, setting very strict bounds is a bad idea. pipmutt said he was using market orders, so I'm pretty sure he was using one-click orders when scalping... at least, I hope so.

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

they have a big glass tower or something like that in plan, but I am not sure about when that will happen or if things changed with it. it's a memorial ground now, its a very big area, like a little park (compared to the other parks in the city) ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

yea pip, 9/11... i agree with you, but what can you do...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

jimbil there is nothing you can do about it..... let it go bro. many people have tried already. you are not the only one that believes that.

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

i will pip, you too. jimbil.. I agree that theory can be true, but enough is enough. you don't know me and don't know my beliefs and I don't care to portray them in a thread completely out of context which is a shitty analogy to begin with.

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

pipmutt, I understand... I was just curious because it seemed you kept on speaking of past tense, so I thought maybe you haven't in awhile. I am just saying, I am not getting slipped by oanda when I click buy/sell I see no lag and majority of the ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

i am not getting slipped much at all at oanda. never once 2 pips, execution is great. charts don't need to be taken off the main windows for stability. once again, maybe that was a long time ago, not anymore along with many other problems like ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

lol it keeps going on and on..... oanda is not so bad. come on.... just because you're an oanda client doesn't mean you have been tricked or fooled. as i said, you can't name me one broker in this class that is much better. if so... name it. tell me ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

yea I'm cool with that. good trading to you too.

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

Well I do care how much it costs to make it, thats why I trade with oanda and not these other brokers. Overall, I would be paying more there. They may be better then oanda in other ways depending on your strategy and whatever else you like in a ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

I know what your saying about the marketing and all that, and I agree, but my costs are never 2 pips roundtrip on my scalps and I think it does matter about your entries. There business model doesn't bother me. I still profit, and there costs are ...
