With almost 1,000 employees, I really doubt their customer rep is using a cell phone to interact with clients. I doubt "Jason Rogers" is even 1 person. But what's most concerning is he/they unsubscribed from the thread, besides being a PR disaster, ...

Such bullshit... sorry he had to lower his asking price to 98 MILLION. His algos aren't as good as the next algos... too fucking bad.
Another sign it’s been a tough year for high-frequency trading

Probably so, considering people have used your own data and trades you posted, and have not come up with the same results you posted. Also, almost every broker in the world uses 5 digits and almost no broker in the world use 1:2000 leverage. ...
The Coin-Flip Theory

Wow, 2 perfect charts showing us what to do in the past. Just remember to forget the part where you are buying into a CLEAR downtrend. The article doesn't explain HOW to find these magic points in a downtrend, but don't worry about that, just worry ...
How to Scale-In and Scale-Out of Trades

"if you systematically did the opposite of the London session every day since 2013, you would have made 9%" It's not over 4 years, and don't you guys use leverage? If you use leverage, that 9% can become 90%.
Here Is The Winning Formula For Day Trading EUR/USD - Citi

I've also done some analysis on this trader. Appears to scalp with a 30 pip stop loss. His win rate is 85%. Seems to be doing pretty good. Counter trend trader. Still need to chart more of his trades to see what I can come up with, but not bad. And ...
Do scalpers make money in the long run?

Even though I don't use Oanda anymore, I've followed this for years and it never changes. The most profitable traders appear to be scalpers. url
Do scalpers make money in the long run?
- TheGrind commented Apr 3, 2014
Agree, Russia and China are tired of our crap. Saudi Arabia (and OPEC) welcomes the US with open arms, but will stick a knife in our back if the Keystone pipeline gets approved (it will), and we continue producing more and more natural gas and ...
Citi Warns "Unwise To Short The Dollar"
- TheGrind commented Feb 26, 2014
It didn't "cost" the US taxpayer anything. If these people had paid their taxes, it would not have affected me in any way. If the US government really wants every last cent from taxpayers, maybe they should look into how GE, Google, Apple, Exxon, ...
Credit Suisse 'cloak-and-dagger' tactics cost US taxpayers billions – senators
- TheGrind commented Feb 25, 2014
Yeah, that didn't take long. The other exchanges are just covering for each other. If every single bitcoin "holder" withdrew their money tomorrow, the exchanges wouldn't be able to cover it. This is as simple as a ponzi scheme gets.
Apparent Theft at Mt. Gox Shakes Bitcoin World

I moved my account from Oanda to MBTrading because of the "dynamic spreads". Yeah, MBTrading has dynamic spreads, but they don't fluctuate by 7-15 pips for no reason. I don't do news trading, I expect increased spreads during those times, but Oanda ...
OANDA US Client Profitability Q4 Decline, Technology or Macro Driven? Executive Response
- TheGrind commented Jan 24, 2014
Wow... the numbers are not good. They are a "market maker" and lost 116 MILLION in 2013, compared to 19 million in 2012. They lost 73 MILLION on accounts that had taken positions on the Singapore exchange that got margined out, and they didn't do ...
Interactive Brokers Group Announces 2013 Results

Probably someone from the James16 thread. They get really, really confrontational when you ask them to provide verified trading results. Any "senior member" want to step up and tell everyone what rule was violated for the suspension??

Maybe i'm dumb, but if this is true, shouldn't you trade the US dollar index based on E/U? Not the other way around?
Predicting the EUR/USD by using Currency Correlations
- TheGrind replied Jan 11, 2014
Yes, the spreads they report on historical spreads are nowhere close to the actual spread. I've have their website us and their charts up and it's not even close. I would go so far as to say they are lying. I've seen their reported spreads as 1.5 ...
Oanda users - Oanda widening spreads
- TheGrind replied Jan 11, 2014
Totally agree. During rollover, they are increasing the spread and spiking the price. I have Oanda charts running on one screen and I trade on MB Trading on another screen. During rollover MB Trading goes down (as it should, usually lasts a few ...
Oanda users - Oanda widening spreads
- TheGrind replied Oct 25, 2013
Their model "allows" you to trade directly with the market, doesn't always mean you are actually trading directly with the market. I think it's pretty obvious the answer is "Yes, they take the opposite side of their clients trade". How often do they ...

I've closed my account and requested funds also. I had a "Pro" account with Alpari and the spreads were unbelievably tight, with no spikes or surprises. No other broker in the US could come close to them. I'm currently demo-ing MB Trading, they ...
