You need to sum up the USD value of all your transactions (buy and sell). Then you will arrive at ~USD 80K which is 0.08 million. That is all that is shown in your images. There is no interest being charged/credited.

I'm using SierraCharts with their free fxcm data feed and execute manually with the lmax web-platform. Works for me and its just like $25/month.

Its a matter of fact that the average retail trader is rather bad at trading. They dont even need any tricks or unethical behaviour. If clients only push the buy/sell buttons often enough, inevitably most of the cash will end up in their pockets ...

Mifid is a directive from the EU commission that sets minimum standards that all EU member states have to implement into national law. Implementation varies from country to country. Mifid itself is not an authority, it is a european law. Try ...

They are certainly not going out of business. Its just a collosal fk up that will cost them a lot of reputation and money.
OANDA Down?

No.. i meant the order entry web platform itself - i dont use the IT charts. As far as i know, the charts are managed by IT-Finance and not by lmax themself.

Looks like a IT-Finance problem then, or some sort of connectivity issue. Didn't notice anthing strange on the web-platform.

Thats a nice widget. I wish they would implement this functionality in the web platform. Its kind of annoying when you want to trade more size than is displayed top of the book.

Yes - i think Oanda does use some sort of futures strip, and not only the frontmonth contract for their prices. Also, if you hold commodity CFDs for a longer period, you will notice that the difference to the futures price is in the carry you ...

And whats the charge the creditcard company takes? The cheapest way is a SEPA bankwire. I pay zero bank fees and no broker fees for deposits/withdrawls.

Interest rates for commodities on oanda are all over the place, and they keep changing a lot. It has to do with the difference between the oanda spot price and the price of the futures contracts, on which oanda bases their cfd pricing. I dont think ...

Execution is the same on all instruments on lmax - price/time priority order matching like on an exchange. If you like the liquidity/spreads you see you can trade it. Personally i only trade the major fx pairs.
