Amazing spreads, I trade a tiny account for fun. I don't use their charts and neither should you, unless you don't have anything else. Amazing broker. I would recommend: open the account with 5 brokers and use all of them. I have Oanda, LMAX, Alpari ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

because your other positions get cancelled if you, say, sell 1000 units and then buy 500 units of the same pair, your original position gets sliced in half. You need different sub accounts to hedge one pair. Also, if you have two exactly same ...

Well, I am sure YOU know less about banks than he does. Of course, there can only be a believe of how things are, since there is no way to know how they really are. Due to some known facts and numbers posted someone calculated that they must have ...
