I might even use it for charts, but it doesn't have detachable windows, and i have more than 1 screen. Another thing it doens't have is quote-windows, or anything i where i can output tabular data. After using Neoticker (and Sierrachart prior to ...

Oanda doesn't report anything to the govt, and i doubt the others do. Still, outright tax evasion is rather dumb. There are legal ways of minimizing taxes.

I believe thats his point - go post a comment so fx is included in the new rules.

In UK you dont have to pay stamp-duty on stock-CFD, but its not tax-free like spreadbetting as far as i know. Im not from the UK.

LOL, if you think its that much of a scam, surely you shouldn't trade FX with this firm either. Same thing, different asset class.

Oanda, GFT and Alpari all have London dependencies, as does FXCM i believe, you can send wires to their UK euro accounts and don't have to pay international wire fees from NL.

This is probably a bigger tell on the people who use such publishing sites than on the broker. Its not like myfxbook users and such are exactly knowen for their craftiness..

I have got no problems. But index CFDs are still bad - dont trade that, especially DAX. They need to bring in more LPs for these products. Support said they will do that - but that was a few months ago, so who knows. But FX is excellent.

If you have a $200K "account" you are only allowed to trade 2 lots of eur/usd. That means you need to make 1000 pips to make 20K of profits, and you will keep only 14K. You can do the same with a 5K retail account(IF you can), especially considering ...

That is only the buying power you get. They do not grant leverage - you have a 150K buying-power you can only trade 150K EUR/USD, so its not that spectacular. You could do the same with a small retail account and keep all of the profits (although of ...

Hotspot most definately has last look, or better some LPs do(not all of them). If you complain long and loud enough they can set up your account with only non-last look LPs. But it significantly reduces displayed liquidity. And last look is not last ...
Fake ECN - Old Tricks?
- shrike replied Aug 2, 2012
'True ECN' is a question of definition. How do you define it? If you define it as "like an exchange" few firms would qualify. If you define it more broadly like STP / agency broking / not taking risk on client positions and a bit of client-to-client ...

"A Take Profit on an existing buy order didn't get executed until the bid reached the price" You are confused.. a TP on an existing long position is a limit sell order, which will be filled if bid px is at or greater than your limit.
Take profit - is it a limit or stop order?

LMax has charts based on the bid price. Ask px did not go below 04

It depends on the pair. For example 100K EUR/USD the fee is 100K*1.22*0,00002 = $2.44 Which will be rounded up to $2.50 (the minimum ticket fee). With 110K units eur/usd you are already above the minimum - so the 250K figure from the post above is ...
