That's good to know. I wonder where I got 50:1 from.

CoesFX and MT4

I think they're at 50:1. I was going to ask if they ever increase that for certain customers though. I'll let you know if I find out anything different. For me, it's not an issue. My trading system wouldn't allow me to leverage that much if I wanted ...

CoesFX and MT4

I know some of you are new, but, these questions have been asked and answered many times on this forum by many traders other than myself. Several years ago, a complaint went to NFA against an introducing broker for CoesFX. The complaint was that the ...

CoesFX and MT4

When you look at this information, you need to keep in mind that CoesFX is moving all of their clients over to SpotFX. Most of this change happened in June, with some accounts still left over. You'll notice that before June, CoesFX had the higher ...

CoesFX and MT4

This is a good question. CoesFX today offers mini accounts, but it's through a 3rd party clearer - CFGTrader. CoesFX's true strength lies in their direct access to the interbank market. They are one of the few, true ECN's out there. That means, ...

CoesFX and MT4

Hi Forex316, Thanks for the post. First, I'm not offering anything at all. I need to make that clear up front. I'm a trader like the rest of you. I've struggled to find a broker I trust. So far, I've been with GFT Forex, InterbankFX, and FXDD. I ...

CoesFX and MT4

MrFuture, Welcome to the forum and welcome to Forex. FXGorilla gave a good example of leverage and MM. There's a couple of areas that I'd like to clarify. It's implied in FXGorilla's post, I think, but I just want to point a couple things out to ...

Pips and Leverage....

You're welcome to your own opinion, but, I think the mods are doing a great job keeping spam off the board. Maybe your the type of person that wants to receive every piece of junk mail in your inbox, but not me. A little "censorship" on spam goes a ...

AC-markets (ACM) in Switzerland - safe?

It's even funnier when you read the fine print: It's kind of like "We never ever slip .... except for those times that everyone else does. But, we never ever widen our spreads ... except when we think the market is not quite normal." Their ...

Margin Call

Yes. Different brokers have different policies on margin calls. I should have had a disclaimer on my example that it may not serve as a universal example. I'm still curious about why you were leveraged at 90%, received a margin call and only lost ...

Margin Call

Here's a good statement from CMS Forex on their margin call policy. I googled "Forex margin call". So, if your account equite drops below the required margin, you can get a margin call. I think the example I gave reflects this, but, I am still in my ...

Margin Call

That's a good question. I don't know because I'm an intraday trader. I haven't even looked at their rollover rates. I need to give you some private information about their MT4 implementation, though. Send me a PM or email.

BurgerKing, Hmm, I'm not sure you read my posts about those things. Look, if you're not comfortable with them, then you don't have to use them. Why do you keep bringing it up though when I've already answered your previous posts? stockwet

I hope everyone recognizes, though, that this market allows for ultimate creativity. In other words, who's to say that one way of doing things is the right way for everyone. Just because one person doesn't want to use their margin call as a stop ...

Margin Call

Well, I had 13 pips slippage yesterday, if that tells you anything. However, I had 30 and 40 pips slippage on the EUR and GBP with the FOMC and FXDD, so, I can live with 13 pips slippage. I'm more interested to see how this goes as they continue to ...

ZedHashPip, Your numbers look a little off to me. I think it depends on the currency pair, too. That might be the discrepancy. Remember that if USD is not the base currency (EURUSD, GBPUSD, etc.), you have to convert the margin about back to ...

Margin Call

Sorry if this is old info for some. I think it's important to understand the typical mechanics of slippage so that people can figure out how to minimize it as best as possible. I say typical because this post clearly doesn't address any broker ...

OCO is a common feature on a lot of the proprietary platforms. I've seen it on CoesFX, GFTForex and I think MB Trading's platform as well. MetaTrader provides an OCO feature, but it's not's exactly like the typical OCO. You can attach a stop and a ...

OCO Trades

That's kind of funny considering they send out an email to their customers every month before NFP letting them know that it's a great trading opportunity. An excerpt from the email: [/font][/size][/font]
