I just asked a question, you don't need to be a douche bag about it

[quote=MaximeCau;8089876] Are you sure you trade their DMA ? I'm new with them but when you allow dma you can't deal contract per contract, you can't trade half contract... They call it Forex Direct and claim it is pure DMA but it's still just a ...

Is anyone using IG Markets Level 2?

Since most players in this thread seem to be trading in large contract increments, I'm curious about your experience in trading FX futures rather then spot. Typical spread I see on IB for the EUR/USD future contract is at 0.5 for about 10/15M which ...

Yes the minimum order size is 1 lot but then they accept any marginal increments above that size, eg. you can buy 1.014 contract which raises some concerns as to how those orders are actually processed. They also offer 1/400 leverage which is ...

Is anyone using IG Markets Level 2?

Mevo, you're spot on about all this including the dual US account part... It is very unsettling to have the already complex accounting spread across several accounts. I would tend to trust the overall accounting to be accurate as I can't imagine a ...

Interactive Brokers - experiences and opinions

KADC, kudos to you for trying to get to the bottom of this, I'd be very interested to see how this thread can shed some light on the issue. I've also seen swings in my cash reports, albeit small, and could not get a satisfactory explanation from IB ...

What brokers would you want to use if you had 100k + million + account?

Very valid point! I think the only (very remote) risk would come from a Tobin tax implemented on a global basis on all financial transactions. The French/Brits/German are thinking about it but it is pointless if it stays at the regional level.

Thanks Karl, I'll be following up on this on MC's forums... Btw why didn't you follow up on your earlier version of the illustrative dialogues featuring Duka's senior management? did you change your mind?

Dukascopy

Thanks for warning the community. They were one of the brokers on my list but I can cross them out now... I think you're doing the right thing in challenging them with the market regulators. Best of luck and keep us posted!

Which API? — That's great news but is this with the FIX or the Jforex API?

Dukascopy

taming the beast... — The Martingale is a beast... I've read so many threads & posts where traders experiment with so many systems where they think they can tame this lion into a pussy cat by putting it on a vegan diet... It works for a while ...

Did Martingale work for someone?
