Interactive Brokers is in my opinion a very good broker, but it's quite complicated, because there are so much things. Just some infos about accrued interest: Know that if you are short some stocks, your balance increases the amount of your shorts, ...

Interactive Brokers - experiences and opinions

@domingo & teylorw: Sure, 2 accounts having ONLY posts advertising AAAFx and Zulutrade is very credible You really have to be one of the worst broker in the world (which is the case) to do such things...

Is AAAFx a good broker?

@Spaceduck: Yeah, no need for a broker. I'm sure you would be happy to accept $20 from the guy every time he wants to give it to you, and return him $10 for each payment at the end of the month

Market-making HFT algorithm

FxTriumph: $10 per lot is 1 pip. To get this as rebate, you must have a pretty high spread !!

Market-making HFT algorithm

I find this comments pretty funny. Is there any "value" in trading in the first place ? This "value" thing (globally) is probably an endless debate. But it's also quite not understable: Profit for LMAX = commissions. The more trades, the more ...

Liquidity depth of a broker

Me neither, but seem on rare occasion (news) where they would have done it because the spread would have been greater than 20 pips according to what have been discussed at donnaforex. I cannot confirm as I never saw it myself. Several people are ...

Liquidity depth of a broker

Ok, you have your reasons ? If you don't want to explain more, I can't help you more. (You can PM me if you want) If you want to place trades of hundreds of millions at the same time, open accounts at many different places, and take all the ...

Liquidity depth of a broker

Come on ... What is shown on retail broker's website doesn't mean anything. A lot of the brokers simply don't know who their liquidity providers are, because an aggregator like Integral or Boston technologies sold them a complete solution with MT4 ...

Liquidity depth of a broker

You can look charts somewhere else to take your decisions... You can pay for a reputable feed vendor if you are afraid of your broker's data. On the futures market, it's often separated: you pay someone on one side to provide you quotes and your ...

Broker manipulation on indicators?

I doubt it. Indicators are nothing more than mathematical calculations on previous prices, and the broker has no way to modify them I guess. Indicators are done by the trading platform (MT4 for a lot of people), not by the broker itself. The broker ...

Broker manipulation on indicators?

I don't think there is any problem for US traders url

Foreign Brokers and US citizens

OANDA Discussion

Check Interactive Brokers. If you mainly trade forex, you may find that their platform s*cks and charting really s*cks, but if you trade big enough (ideally 1 lot), you will enjoy best conditions in the US, I guess. (They have a minimum fee of $2 ...

OANDA Discussion

A maybe easier to understand example is the spread: if your limit orders are treated as liquidity providing orders, and entered in the order book (where there is one), your orders are reducing the spread when placed inside. Try it when spread ...

Does anyone have any experience with Dukascopy?

No, that's impossible. Market can't gap "through" your order, it has to hit it first. Or you don't have to deal with a real market with an order book. If what you're describing happens, your order wasn't in the order book but was held and ...

Does anyone have any experience with Dukascopy?

Humm, what you say is correct Shrike, you can get a better price than the limit price you fix. But I guess this can only happen when your order is marketable immediately (we are talking of a real market environment with an order book of course), ...

Does anyone have any experience with Dukascopy?

I'm sorry, but you are 100% right, it says it all: you're an idiot.That's how a real market, not a market maker price manipulated, works.Take profits are limit orders, which are entered in the order book, so you can't have any slippage on it ...

Does anyone have any experience with Dukascopy?

Did you go with their European branch (Dukascopy Europe) ? Should be easier there !

Does anyone have any experience with Dukascopy?

Tylerbose: In my opinion, you should be able to withdraw by wire funds deposited by credit card. The fact that you don't have the card anymore is a common situation, and this has not to prevent you from withdrawing your money (by wire to an account ...

US traders can open an account wherever they want. It's the brokers who are supposed to be forbiden to accept US customers if they're not registered with NFA/CFTC. Check FinFx, they were accepting US people...
