Taub - I believe some MT4 'Expert Advisor' add-ons hold the orders on your PC rather than the broker trade servers. You'll see MT4 add-on adverts which say 'Hide your stops from your broker' - well, that's done by keeping the stop on your PC - so, ...

IB interactivebrokers.com - how is your experience?

TraderJF - do IB react negatively if you're obviously making money news trading? I have a news trading setup that uses specialist 3rd party software to fire e.g. a Ninja Trader (or MT4 with an EA) OCO order to manage the trade. A 'no trade' doesn't ...

Mautje said: Well, they have a Dubai office I just had a trawl through IB's market information, and on the major currency pairs their IDEALPRO ECN can be receiving quotes from a dozen specified banks, all of them household names, plus ...

I put a Support ticket into TS nearly a week ago (as a funded futures account client) asking who the liquidity provider is for the new TradeStation Forex system, and whether they're making their own market or using someone else's - no response - ...

TradeStation for trading forex?

Mautje - have a look for a worked example of a commission calculation on their site. Now the health warning - guys, if I get any of the following wrong, please tell me! As I understand it, a number of ECN brokers charge a % commission expressed as X ...

Unless you're outside USA and Canada - because Oanda Canada tell me they only like Canadians, and if you're outside USA you may not want a US regulated account at this particular moment. You can open an account with Oanda Asia Pacific, based in ...

Sorry Dhb, I meant to reply to your question quickly, but Carl_Vosp replied better anyway. Jforex has one virtue - it looks simple at first sight. If you want to see what a really comprehensive platform can do for you, by all means demo MultiCharts, ...

I wrote: Just got the answer to this from Dukscopy Support. Yes, WYSIWYG for the Dukascopy platform, but the good news is that we can now use Multicharts software with a Dukascopy account (including, presumably , their free platform) That's more ...

Thanks Trader 613, that's very helpful. Max

IB with NinjaTrader vs Currenex?

Anyone know if all the order processing available as standard in Ninja Trader 7 works well with the IB trade servers? I'm thinking of the NT 'Advance Trade Management' facilities like Auto Breakeven and Auto Trail? Max

IB interactivebrokers.com - how is your experience?

I just loaded up all three of DukasCopy's demo platforms - is that it then, or are there more comprehensive front ends and/or order systems that work with their feed? I mean, the 44 page manual appeared to be enough to understand Duka's platform! ...

LOL! I guess that's true. But from what I've learned of Forex so far, I wouldn't consider myself a big investor if I had $250K available. I guess 'medium' might cover it - there are brokers who wouldn't let me in the door with that. I fully ...

IB interactivebrokers.com - how is your experience?

Roughtrader - I agree with you on most of this, and these are the reasons I think there should perhaps be a minumum account balance for Forex trading as there is for stock day trading (that's 25K). Every time I attend an educational FX event I meet ...

IB interactivebrokers.com - how is your experience?

Since many retail FX accounts amount to trading a market made by your broker (who may claim 'trade the biggest market in the world'), or a white label collection of small brokers, and each broker may or may not be messing with the order flow timing ...

MT4 moves to ECN (2 unique brokers)

Any current reports (March 2011) on how Berkeley Futures are performing please? Has anyone traded both spot FX and CME FX futures with them, how do they compare? They list Ninja Trader as one of their platforms - do they provide it for free with a ...

Thanks guys - so I live in UK (although I spend some time and money in a USD zone), and I'll be trading mainly GBPUSD. Does an account in GBP makes most sense? Max

Someone, please? This is an issue the educators don't talk about, so many of us won't be up to speed on it. Thanks, Max
