Which is the best broker for scalping?

RIGHT. lol QuadrupleX is right. This is like a car build with a deliberate problem in the engine, but instead of working on that the manufacturer introduces some new cool option distracting clients from the real issue.

OANDA fxUnity - Anyone tried it?

Last time I checked it's: $25.000 for a tier 2 ECN account $5.000 for a retail STP account You're right, with mini-lots you can't get ECN (in the true sense of the word) since the big liquidity providers won't accept these tiny orders.

Well if you/he is going to start with $10, you/he might as well just paper trade. There is no need to pay any evil interest when paper-trading. Btw, you should be aware that those that offer so called "swap-free" accounts charge an extra fee for it. ...

Brokers with swap-free accounts

Just look for any nearby casinos. Although even those have certain limits on their tables, but you should be able to get access to some high-limit tables if you want. Enjoy.

Just 3 questions: - Is that under normal market conditions? - On what pair? - What's the average order size? Thanks

Just some clarifications here: - Negative slippage is not possible with limit orders, only market orders (including SL which is also a market order). Do not use slippage control with limit orders because slippage with this type of order can only go ...

Sounds good Peter. Let us know how it goes for you (especially in terms of quality fills and slippage).

As far as I know, you'd still be a client of Dukascopy's. An "introducing bröker/company" would take your application and you become its client (not Dukascopy's), but when you place your orders, they would pass them to the Dukascopy system, so you'd ...

Says who? Just because you can't make money trading news does not mean it isn't possible. This is just another example of one piece of misinformation being passed on from trader to trader (who are both clueless to that particular matter) until it ...

Because it's a dealing-desk bucketshop, not a real trading environment. No, because it's not only about spreads but also the liquidity and execution model. Exness is a dealing-desk, which means requotes, bad fills, etc. will eventually destroy your ...

Personally I'd take my money to an institutional bröker as soon as I reach about 200k-500k or so, be it a tier 2 or tier 1 (prime) bröker, depending on what I can get. You can figure this our with a little bit of effort exploring the platform. But ...

They charge per net deposit, or per total equity, or per traded volume. The one that is implemented is the one that qualifies you for the smallest commission. For example, if: - Your net deposit qualifies you for $48 commission - And your total ...

The platform (TradeInterceptor) is not as good as I expected. For example it seems to impose a limit on how much tick data can be accessed (about two days). JForex is definitely better.

This statement is not to be taken literally.

Best Broker for 2012?

Angus, There should be no difference between "ECN" and "True ECN", I just tend to use the latter description when referring to an ECN that is more on the big liquidity institutional-level side. Sorry for any confusion. By 'good liquidity' I mean ...
