well, we all have our preferences. i'm one of those that rather go with a payment system that has a higher fee, but little to none issues such as requesting additional info and what not...while others just look at fee structure, so still glad to see ...

'Neville'? you mean neteller? well, i would prefer neteller over moneybookers (skrill) as i've read too many horror stories on accounts frozen even after verification. Also, Neteller's conditions suite me better so it's another plus for me to go ...

ICMarkets is getting Neteller! Right now Neteller transfers are not possible, but pretty soon they will be and hopefully this will serve as a much better transfer of funds than bank wire. Also, seems to be the only payment processor that accepts ...

what you're describing is not one click trading. one click trading is basically you click the button buy/sell and your order will be processed, you do not have to click the 'new order' button, then enter lot size, and so on, then execute. as for ...

OANDA Discussion

been looking at their swaps and for long term swap traders, i think i found the settings: Sell GBPUSD - 1.18 Sell NZDUSD - (0.74) Buy GBPUSD - 0 so this combination will deliver the highest swap credit to your account, and it's based on the three ...

the foreign exchange market is decentralized, it's really just a connection of banks and so each broker has a set of their own price feed providers.

here's another one: url I actually prefer this over metatrader's period converter. it offers greater flexibility especially if you are trying to do odd frames such as 10 second frames or maybe 75 second time frames or 100 second frames. this way, ...

Trading the 3 Minute Time Frame?

well, glad to know i'm the the only one doing this. but i'm using icmarkets so yeah, i'm pretty much stuck with metatrader. but meh, using a plugin, so not as efficient as having a platform that can handle custom time frames without another 'add-on'

Trading the 3 Minute Time Frame?

yep, they are tested from the same PC. but not quite sure about being in NY because what I see in the terminal is live-nz. anyways, even if they are both located in the same location, then still doesn't really explain the difference.

IC Markets

that's what i don't understand. i'm in toronto and their server is 'supposedly' in New York. I believe it's the cTrader servers that are in London? ExcelMarket's servers are all the way in New Zealand so why is my connection to NZ better than to NY? ...

yikes! is he trading or is he gambling? a lower leverage could easily protected some of his funds by being stopped out earlier, sigh, the dangers of high leverage.

Ouch! Trader carrying heavy losses

yikes, so it does look like icmarkets is running slow. so basically i take the lowest to the highest range ignoring the loops: 234 ms is my lowest and 391 ms is my highest. regardless of b/s, the most often appeared is 344 ms. so i also ran this ...

IC Markets

that makes sense. but still don't quite understand why it would 'drop' without disconnecting..anyways, i'll run the EA and see how it goes.

IC Markets

but that's strange. over at instaforex, i've seen the numbers fluctuate like crazy O.o

IC Markets

that's insane, the worst i've seen is probably about a 6 pip spread during news release, but then again, i generally don't trade news release and just so happened got up early and caught one.

List of unreliable brokers (updated once a week)

i lost my bforex EA so i can't place a pending order and see it being measured, now i just look at the 'connection' at the bottom right corner. for example, over on excel, connecting to NZ server, i can get 5000 kb right off the bat and it ...

Found another link for a list of binary options brokers regulated/ usa friendly. url

I want a good regulated binary options broker

only problem, you won't find regulation for binary brokers. i see some binary brokers offering contracts on bitcoin and just simply do not see how that would be possible especially the time it takes to actual deal in bitcoins, but also there isn't ...

I want a good regulated binary options broker

i noticed how you are in a loss right now. i'm just curious, were you in profit before and if yes you were in profit before, how did your speed compare to the current one shown in the picture? i would assume much lower but that's only my experience ...
