As I mentioned in my first post, pip range is meaningless. If you're after the most pips, trade the Scandi's or the peso. Pip range does not equal volatility. Percentage range is all that matters. It's simple math and should not be a foreign concept ...

AUDJPY & NZDJPY, The new CarryTrade Stars !!!

Have you tried them out yet? If so, how goes it so far?

Currenex news trading

The "new" carry stars? Where have you been for the last 8 years? GBPJPY has a bizarre cult-like following on FF, I think b/c many incorrectly measure volatility in terms of pip range, when % range is all that matters. NJ and AJ have always ...

AUDJPY & NZDJPY, The new CarryTrade Stars !!!

There are two much more readily observable RED LIGHTS about NF that should have been warning signs to anyone all along: 1. They're a dealing desk 2. They're based in Cyprus

North Finance .... red light?

Really? I just started trading it this year. So far, it's been one of my top pairs, very predictable ranges and triangles. image I don't trade AUD/NZD so it's hard to give you an average. Here's a realtime snapshot of IB, MBT, and Hotspot. IB @ 7 ...

MIG Institutional account: Lowest spreads?

Yes. They also have all the Scandi currencies. Oddly, they do not have NZDJPY or GBPCHF, two of my favorites..

MIG Institutional account: Lowest spreads?

I've heard mostly all good things. You can search on the elitetrader forums for info. The only complaint I heard was someone who didn't realize the message limit per second is 50 for the API, 150 for FIX. He was trying to place hundreds of orders at ...

MIG Institutional account: Lowest spreads?

Good lord.. I recognize the charlatan site where that crap came from. There is NO EDGE to be found in candlestick chart patterns. Avoid avoid avoid!

GBPCHF

Dukascopy doesn't offer nearly as many exotic pairs as IB. I use both and would recommend IB if you want to trade exotics.

MIG Institutional account: Lowest spreads?

Helpful hint: don't use learning materials from a dealing desk broker, their entire business model is based upon deception.

Is this line from IBFXU correct?

1 pip per side is only on the most expensive ECN (MBT/EFX) and only trading GBP pairs. For all other pairs, it would be much lower than 1 pip per side. But more important than that is how overpriced MBT is at $50/mil. There are only 4 retail ECNs to ...

Market Makers & ECN’s, Is the grass greener?

IB for futures. QuoteTracker for charting.

Do you trade commodities & futures?

I think he means having it show something like what this shows on the 2 rightmost columns: image MT4 lacks a simple change field option, just like it lacks a simple time-zone adjustment option.. I really hope the next iteration of the MT platform ...

2007 average return of 145 currency-focused CTAs: 2.59% url

FX Hedge Funds/CTAs

Great find! Someone on the Sunday night team must've hit the "show banks" button by mistake. I guess that partially answers fxtrader's question to Justin about MBT's partner banks/liquidity providers. Here's to hoping they accidentally show us a ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

If it leads to profitable trades, by all means use it! I'm just saying that it's not volume in the traditional sense like stocks & futures. There is no published volume in forex, it's merely tick changes per period.

Reliable Technical Indicator...???

It's not volume you're seeing, it's tick changes per period. Quite different. The broker/MT4 are misrepresenting it by calling it "volume".

Reliable Technical Indicator...???

Yeah, July/August were so quiet last year, the FX markets barely moved a pip.

Should trading be avoided at summer?

Your source is incorrect. Positions are rolled automatically like every other broker. The only difference with IB is that any interest and P&L is credited/debited in the foreign currency of which you traded. These must be manually converted back to ...

IB forex

Definitely, and you won't find another broker who can match their rates on FX futures. At least I have yet to find one.
