250 pips slippage on Currenex - ODL Securities

Thanks FrankTheTank - you understand exactly what I am asking. I want to know whether or not a limit order could be slipped on Currenex. I don't care if the limit does not get filled, I just don't want it to get slipped! No clear answer yet though!

I have noticed that you can still have multiple watchlists on the new navigator which does do the same thing as multiple FX Boards. That will have to suffice until Remote Trader is on general release.

Is it just me or does the new navigator not allow more than one FX Board any more. In the last version I had 3 running!

I have been studying and using this system for a little while now and am very impressed. It does seem to work well. I like to trade the GBP/JPY but I always have a look at the price movement on the USD/JPY to see if it is at support/resistance ...

Simon - The Spread Betting brokers that I have used don't generally widen spread but take anything up to 1 minute to fill your order. By that time the price has moved and you are requoted. This can be frustrating when getting into a trade but even ...

joaocosta - I do a lot a lot of scalping the GBP/USD. You need quick execution when you trade the way I do. When you first open a new spread betting broker you seem to get the quick execution until they realise that you are profitable and then they ...

I have been using CMC for about 3 weeks now to trade the news but I have been slipped everytime I have entered a trade. Luckily you do not have to accept the price they offer you when they slip you which is useful as the offer price has always been ...

What do you think about CMC markets?

Thanks for the reply, but I have tried entering a market order with the currency pair selected but I always get a confirmation screen. I have looked at the preference tab and I cannot see anything about one click execution. Am I missing something?

Does anyone know if the EFX Forex Pro trading platform allows one click execution?

No problem MoneyMa$ter - totally understand why you wouldn't want to share. Some people just can't help ruining things for others! I am learning all the time from my own experiences - which perhaps is the best way to learn sometimes!
