Looks like the stop got hit during the release of the FOMC statement.

Huge slippage 30 pips (Pepperstone)

This market is already crowded. Sounds like a silly idea to sink time/money into this. You are kinda 10 years late to the party..

Brokers and MetaTrader License Fees?

So you think Oanda cares about your $150 and is cheating, but you wait until year's end to pull your funds?

Broker increasing the spread after my trade goes in the green

MC and web should be the same - except for stop/target. The difference with SL/TP: if you use the webplatform, the sl/tp orders are "native" contingent orders attached to your position. That means, if either one is hit, the lmax-servers will cancel ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

1 yard per click? Thats like $100K per pip. And like 20 million in margin (at 50:1 which will not be possible with such large positions). And looking for advice on the internet..

Best overall broker

1) not sure what you mean. there are no charts on the web-platform 2) i think thats right - although i am not sure if it is negligible under all circumstances. Pricing is the same, but for example, it could make a differnece for execution if a ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Armada Classic account has a fixed spread. This has nothing to do with Lmax. You should ask that in one of the Armada threads.

LMAX = revolution?!?

Ok i dug out what lmax had during NFP. Looks like this stop would have - potentially - filled much earlier there (at the blue dots between the 2 red lines). Potentially, because i never trade the initial spike so i have no first hand experience. But ...

Its maybe not causual, but its certainly not unexpected during the initial NFP news spike.. there have been worse fills at nfp.

Huge slippage 30 pips (Pepperstone)

"open a case" about a $13 loss? lol

Huge slippage 30 pips (Pepperstone)

Its apparently more like 20% risk, since in the one account without slippage equity is down 20%, and the other account got wiped out with a -50 pip trade (and 9 pip initial stop). About the bridge: the pending order sits on the bridge-software, as ...

Armada Markets

Well if a 9 pip stop represents a risk of 10% to the account, and you go news-trading with that, that's utterly suicidal. Even with a reliable broker. But i guess you only have the potential upside of this lottery, since its not your money at risk, ...

So one is MT4 and one is the currenex frontend? Because the Alpari Direct link shows a screenshot of the java Currenex frontend too (altho without 1/10 pip pricing). url I would suggest to rework this website, i think its not very clear.

Maybe, but even better are some of the replys, like "I am trade with BongostanFX and i am very satisfy." and such.

That doesn't really say what the difference is..

You cant rely on client-side timestamps. PC-clocks are notoriously inaccurate - they lose anything from seconds up to minutes per day. Another question: whats the difference between Alpari Direct and Alpari Direct Pro accounts?

Well apparently its not possible send PMs to commercial members. Its fxmtf.com - they don't specify comms on the website, but you can email and ask.

Sent you a PM since im not in the advertisement business.

There is another IB with $40/million round-turn commission and you don't have to wait a month for the rebate either. Better make it $38 - you want to stay competitive!
