I wouldn't bother — Hi Xaron, I have very much enjoyed your posts for quite some time. In my experience, it is simply not worth trying to get returns from high swap rates. Currency moves can wipe out any advantage in the blink of an eye. I ...

Carry Grid

Gone back to 5 digit pricing — Well GoMarkets have gone live with 5 digit pricing and variable spreads. And first impression... WOW! I'm seeing spreads as low as 0 on EURUSD, and mostly less than 1 pip during London/NY session. Less than 2 pip ...

First Australian MT4 broker?

Live server problems — Have not noticed the missing chart data, but for me the live server has been losing connection for several minutes many times each night (Oz time) this week. This has been the story since their failed ECN "style" feed ...

First Australian MT4 broker?

GoMarkets ECN experiment dead? — They are back to their regular live server, things seem back to normal. But do my eyes deceive me... are they back to fixed spreads? lol!

MT4 moves to ECN (2 unique brokers)

Total Disgrace — This is completely unacceptable. I was unable to close a trade that was in profit yesterday, then the EURUSD fell and I got stopped out at a loss. They set up a temporary server, but that was also a joke. It stayed connected ...

MT4 moves to ECN (2 unique brokers)

Done! — As requested, but still not profitable. Did you get your results by actually trading, or by looking at the charts?

EA for 1H Trading

Not profitable — Here's an attempt at an EA, but it is not profitable in backtesting, or in the forward testing I have been running for the last 2 days. I'm not sure what you mean by closing the order when an opposite signal happens, so the EA ...

EA for 1H Trading

Another massive spike — Another massive spike on AUDNZD... at least on demo account. At 5:00am low = 1.1008 high = 1.1988 This is getting very embarrassing for them. They need to drop that unreliable data provider.

What is this chart spike?

Same pairs... NZDJPY as well, a tiny 2500 pips! Luckily I was on the right side of it and cleaned up. They will reverse it of course. I'm waiting for the day that I cop a huge loss due to this type of spike and they refuse to reverse it, pointing me ...

What is this chart spike?

In theory this is correct, a broker that only earns commissions would only go broke if they don't earn enough from commissions to cover their running costs. However, every ECN broker I have looked at has terms and conditions that state that they may ...

Are STP and ECN more reliable in terms of funds safety?

Just got this email from them: "On September 15, 2008, there were some price spikes on all NZD currency pairs that originated from one of the institutions that we contract with for pricing and trade off-set. The prices provided flowed correctly ...

What is this chart spike?

Swap now fixed — I just got an email from them saying they rollover "issues" and swap was not added or deducted. They have corrected my account by crediting the swap for positive swap positions, but they are not going to deduct swap for ...

IBFX swap problems

I finally got a reply... They have not yet officially launched the service yet. There are a number of people who signed up earlier who are currently using the system but they are not accepting any new users until the launch in mid July. They sent ...

Anyone use real Atcbrokers MT4 platform?

I signed up to open an account last week, I still have not heard back from them yet. I hope it is because they have had so many enquiries about the new ECN service, otherwise there may be some problems! TradeView were not able to get their ...

Anyone use real Atcbrokers MT4 platform?

They have sent out an email to all existing customers... Customers can opt to change over to Ikon straight away and update the server on the MT4 platform, or TradeView will do it for them automatically on the 27th of June. If customers don't want to ...

Tradewview not part of RCG?! as of today

AleccohFX say that they offer swap free accounts... makes me a bit suspicious how they are able to do it unless they are taking a punt that total interest paid on all their customers positions will net out against total interest charged. url

Brokers that do not pay interest swap
