NZD GDP Today at 4-45PM (EST)

Not necessarily. It depends how you do it. The number becomes public knowledge as soon as it's released.

Good source for Fundementals/News

It's a shame. InterbankFX used to be a really good broker. But when this news trading craze started and most brokers increased the spread at news time, IBFX became the broker with the widest spread in the industry. Somehow, this will end up costing ...

complaining about spreads

Actually, if you take it from the low of the initial spike down, cable rose 200+ pips and then fell 200+ pips. More likely a pre-planned strategy by the big boys. Clean out the shorters, some who have shorted well before news release and in the ...

Trading the NFP this friday

No dealing desk??? How can that be when they actually HAVE a dealing desk? Do they hide the trades on their NDD so that their dealing desk people on their other dealing platform cannot see it? I dont think that the same broker can HAVE a ...

FXCM new no dealing desk platfrm

Neither have I. FXSol does not increase spreads on news.

fxsol for news

I think that you missed the point, my friend. I also trade with FXSol. I was saying that although FXSol has tight spread, you will get slippage at news time and may end up upon execution of an entry order with the same price as with a broker who ...

Fixed or Varaible spreads?

Could it be that FXSol has access to better liquidity than some of the other brokers? Keep in mind though that although execution at FXSol is very good, it comes with slippage during news time. So a fixed spread of 5 pips with say 10 pips slippage ...

Fixed or Varaible spreads?

What a candid assessment. FXCM are not the best at 'customer care' but the best at putting their clients accounts in 'intensive care' and suck out every dollar.

FX-Analytics The FXCM Non Dealing Desk is no more than their old platform repackaged except its worse than the original platform. Slippage, execution at top or bottom of the spike, freezing platform, you name it. And now I notice in your case, stops ...

FXCM are nice to you because by your own admission, you are losing money. Were you to start making money consistently, then they will open their bag of tricks. To use your analogy above, were you to know how to dance, then you will see that the FXCM ...

Looks like no one is trading the AUD announcement. Anyway Trade Balance created no more than a ripple. Tomorrow, AUD retail sales could be different.

Well, here is what happened during durable goods announcement just now. FXCM widened the spread on their NDD to 9 pips on euro. But guess what? They immediately froze their platform after the news and the freeze lasted 10 minutes. They were online ...

I am waiting to see what will their spread be during next non farm payroll announcement. That will set the benchmark as it is the biggest report.

FXCM Discussion

The jury is still out on this one but we'll get a verdict soon. I have sent a small amount to FXCM just to test this NDD platform. Just the other day, I placed an entry order during NZD news and I was slipped 9 pips and they executed right ...

I was not in a trade when the move happened. But you can be sure you were not the only one to take a loss; if 80 per cent of traders were short gbp and euro, they could not have sustained that 300 pip move in gbp alone in last couple of days. So ...

Thanksgiving phenomenon or not ?

Was this with FXCM? You mentioned before they were your broker. If you traded this with FXCM, I just wonder how you do it since FXCM put on manual status everyone that successfully trades news.

Do you work for a broker? :surprised Get real, man. I don't know how long you have been trading the forex but if you are a trader, I think somewhere down the line you will finally get a reality check about what are really retail forex brokers. ...
