Yep. Places like Cyprus provide easy and cheap offshore licenses for gambling-related small businesses such as online casinos, spread betting and forex bucketshops.

Agreed. For serious traders, the ONLY usable aspect of Metatrader is charting. Although it's lacking in that area too. - A true chartist is probably better off getting a dedicated charting software without the limitations of Metatrader (e.g. it ...

Says a bröker that is run by people who think they know what's best for you, who think they should protect you from your own non-professionalism, and who have supported every new regulatory policy with that agenda. Oanda should leave it to traders ...

Oanda Asia is a subsidiary of Oanda. A subsidiary is a separate entity controlled by its parent company. Because it's a separate entity, it is possible for one of them to be involved in legal proceedings, bankruptcy, tax delinquency, etc. while the ...

I'm sure most of its traders are more interested in the "bröker" aspect. It being a semi-bank is just a plus.

I don't see why any intelligent trader would not see that no serious bröker gives that kind of leverage. Even casinos put limits on how much you can bet on a particular game, and it's all part of a risk management strategy, i.e. they need to limit ...

lol Even the orderbook has spam now? Seriously though, sounds like you're into HFT m.m.m. If that is the case then it looks like Dukascopy/Jforex is probably not the best setup for you.

My trades never get re-quoted. That's because I don't use Metacrapper and I don't trade with a fake bröker. It's not the fact that they're "Russian" per se, more like a regulation matter. Forex regulation in Russia tends to be a joke, and many take ...

Actually this is not exclusive to Dukascopy. All retail ECN brökers I traded at, such as MB Trading, say the same, i.e. that they are the direct counterparty to your trades. Just check their user agreements to see for yourself. As a matter of fact, ...

Your guess is wrong.

You mean $100. Yeah that sucks. :/ Probably something related to their regulation. I'm not European, but come on Dukascopy, why $5k for European folks? What are your regulators trying to achieve with this?

Dukascopy

That's great. Sounds like you know your stuff, having reached that level. I still think there are better deals than IBFX though for beginners.

Nice job Dukascopy. I have demanded lower minimum deposits, credit card options, and a more affordable API not long ago. It's nice to see you react to some of these demands. The way I understand it is: - Dukascopy.com requires a $5000 minimum ...

Dukascopy

No. IBFX is a market maker with higher spreads. There certainly are better deals for you out there. Of these two you mentioned, MB Trading is most definitely better. You get lower trading costs, a good ECN model, more platform choices, and free API. ...

How many slippage occurrences have you measured in this experiment? What you're experiencing is quite strange. Slippage, when it happens, has only a 50% chance to not occur in your favor.
