IB and FXCM enforce FIFO right ?

FinFX opinions

Battle of the weakened economies, who will prove to be the worst ? Short term there is profit taking and covering positions in the EU, GBP and US vs JPY but upside should return soon. 140-141 E/J before the end of the year.

EUR/JPY

Bears are temporarily in control but the economics of Japan haven't improved. This is profit taking and short covering on the GBP and USD side. Short term down but the upside will resume soon enough on US and GBP vs JPY. GBP 180-182 by end of year.

GBP/JPY

Anyone currently using Fin Fx ? Tired of Oandas huge spreads and have not heard good thing about FXCM. Limited choices in the US..

Screenshot from FXCM demo acct at 8:42 pm central US. 1.3 pip spread on GBPJPY.

OANDA Discussion

Screenshot taken 6 min ago at 8:22 pm central US. All spreads are reasonable and normal except GBPJPY.

OANDA Discussion

5.0 on Oanda here and 1.2 on FXCM. I have often wondered if they "modify" the rates/spreads that you see depending on your trading behavior. I trade GBPJPY the majority of the time and have seen the spread steadily increase on Oanda (live) but not ...

OANDA Discussion

Currently looking at a 5.1 pip spread on GBPJPY on Oanda and a 1.6 pip spread on a demo account with FXCM. ?????

OANDA Discussion

Jason, Can you open sub accounts in FXCM ? I have been with Oanda for the last 12 months and have been generally pleased EXCEPT for the recent increase in spreads on GBPJPY. At this moment I am looking at 6.2 pips spread on Oanda and 1.6 pip spread ...

FXCM Discussion

175.30 went from support to resistance from yesterday to today. I see an end of day bull push to 175.50ish.

GBP/JPY

Now the third test of the 175.30/35 level, will see if that is the new floor or a further ride down is on hand. Edit: Strong bear push across all JPY pairs. Closed out my shorts from the Scottish referendum week.

Has anyone used Tradestation ? I have been with Oanda for 11 months and fairly pleased except for the spread on GBPJPY.

Any updates from traders who have traded with or are currently using Fin Fx ? From their website they are still accepting US clients .

FinFX opinions

Dear Oanda, The Scottish referendum is over..why is there still a 4 point spread on GBPJPY ?

OANDA Discussion

USDJPY is at 6 year highs..GBPJPY is also at multi year highs. Just the rising tide carrying all the JPY pairs.

EUR/JPY

Not to distract from the main focus of the thread, but are other people seeing a HUGE spread on this pair for the last 2 days ? I have been at 4-8 pips when usually it runs 2.2 to 2.9 pips.

Geppy's Geppy Thread (GBP/JPY)

Agreed, but at what point do you want to short this out of control train ?

Geppy's Geppy Thread (GBP/JPY)

Make that 600 points in 2 days....100 in the last 30 minutes. Wonder where the institutional money in going..

Geppy's Geppy Thread (GBP/JPY)

173.00 on Sept 16 and now 178.20 at this time. 500+ point move in 2 days ? Definitely overbought but are we headed for a pullback or retracement ? USDJPY is still going strong on 6 year highs so which tail is wagging the dog ?
