Yes, Canadian but I used MOBForex as IB. That's ok, By Monday morning I will call Dukas and it should be all clear. In all fairness, I should have looked more closely at their swap charges on my demo, but I just used their Forex calculator on their ...

Dukascopy

I Did the trade on Thursday Oct-7 and closed on Friday Oct-8. Dukascopy says they settle everyday GMT 21:00-22:00. Maybe I did get charged for 3 or 4 days. I will have to try what dma said and skype my account manager whoever he or she may be as I ...

Dukascopy

Yes, I agree, will do not Monday morning as no one answers their phone right now, thanks.

Dukascopy

I was hoping a Dukascopy representative would maybe answer my question below as I did ask this question via email but it was ignored. On the Dukascopy website, the forex calculator shows that my rollover fee should be $3.10 on a standard lot of ...

Dukascopy

That makes sense to me. They can't just total the same pair everyday and close it out. I will just trade away and look at the portfolio statement at the end just to make sure. Thanks for clarifying this for me as I got confused about it all and it ...

Dukascopy Live Account - Don't Post if you haven't traded live with them!

Thanks for explaining that for me, that really helped! I have to admit, still a little confusing though as they deduct these unrealized losses from your balance on the portfolio and it seems you can blow up your account without realizing it. ...

Dukascopy Live Account - Don't Post if you haven't traded live with them!

Until I close a position, how can P/L be added or deducted from my balance as it is unrealized because my position was still open? image

Dukascopy Live Account - Don't Post if you haven't traded live with them!

I got a line on my portfolio statement that says "Settlement for USD/CAD -$30" Can anyone tell me what "Settlement" is? Can't be the rollover fee because that should be around $3.00 for one day according the the Dukas calculator.

Dukascopy Live Account - Don't Post if you haven't traded live with them!

I agree. I never want to get a margin call anyway so maybe I am just waisting my time trying to see how it all plays out.

Getting out of a hedge question

Well, when I email them, they tend to ignore my questions! I can't blame them really as I am a beginner and I had to get up to speed real fast so I maybe asked 10 question in several emails of which many were ignored. And they do state clearly on ...

Getting out of a hedge question

Yeah, I have been thinking about that too. After looking at their hedge when I hit 101% of levearge usage, they only opened opposite position of about 10% of my position to bring it under 100% so I guess I could close it under those ...

Getting out of a hedge question

Yes, I understand that, but I was just theorizing "what if" to understand their process better. It seems from what I gather, when your account is over leveraged, they don't immediately clean you out, which sounds good to me, but I still don't fully ...

Getting out of a hedge question

lol, let me explain it another way as I probably have the technical terms wrong! Firstly I am using the demo platform to force a margin call to see how it plays out. When my leverage is used up, the broker opens an opposite position to ...

Getting out of a hedge question

Somehow I doubt they are manipulating but I did live chat with them about 2 weeks ago as I was considering opening an account with them and has asked them 3 times the same question and 3 times they beat around the bush and would not answer it. That ...

Broker Stop Hunting

I just wonder if it has anything to do with some force trying to get traders to run back to the stock markets.

CFTC new Risk Disclosure

I have to admit I'm disappointed with what is going on. I promised my wife to move to the US, but we could still just live 5 months and 29 days there and 6 months and one day in our country to avoid this. Just means I need to pay taxes in my country ...

CFTC new Risk Disclosure

Thanks for that info! I don't know nearly enough about US laws but it just seems like what is going on is against the constitution. I bet smart people will be working together to challenge all this.

CFTC new Risk Disclosure

Anyone know if these rules only apply to US Citizens or are they for US Residents as well?

CFTC new Risk Disclosure

Yes, and most people seem very happy with them from what I have read so far. I'll be trading standard lots and things look good with them for that. For the type of overall reliability of the trades, their commission is fair to me for what I want to ...
