Seems like you can't address statements I made so instead you've tried to discredit me. This isn't a "situation" about a broker, this is a "situation" about a busted-out trader who's twisting facts and can't take responsibly for his own actions. I ...

I'm done feeding the trolls here...

Pepperstone Live Server Reliability

The broker can't be responsible for your own coding (or anyone else's 3rd party code.) 1. Quotes don't flow without a connection. Without a tick, the EA wouldn't be triggered to send an order. Your statement sounds erroneous or is just a lie. 2. At ...

You're missing some key points here: Firstly) His complaint (that he couldn't close orders) can't be verified by the trade history he offered nor the screenshot he posted. All the evidence he posted does is show us that he kept averaging in with his ...

Some brokers do CFD's on stocks... but they are usually limited to just the largest hand full of stocks on various exchanges... and then you'd be trading the CFD quotes (wider spreads than the real market) and subject to high financing costs. It's ...

Trading stocks on MT4

All clients should have gotten this email, but just in case anyone was wondering about the server update / disconnection fix: So it looks like not only will we be getting a better server setup, but will also get the charts painting on razor quotes ...

Yup.. the guy complained that he couldn't close his order but then continued to average in more and more. No stop loss... Martingale strategy EA Sure, it's the broker's fault his martingale EA blew up. Right... *rollseyes*

Pepperstone Live Server Reliability

This thread is just a hit job on Pepper.. Started by someone under 30 posts, who got angry that no one agreed with him so he started tossing around FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) remarks that have no basis. Then finally someone agrees with him, a 9 ...

That complaint was about their MT4 bridge, the native fxTrade platform hasn't had such issues lately. Atop of that, your limit and stop orders will execute properly regardless if you're having issues with MT4 or not. Worst case, if you're holding a ...

Help me find a broker please

Oanda US would be fine. I know you said you'd prefer a non-market maker, but as far as reputation goes they are the shining example of what a good company can do with the market maker format. Not a single NFA or CFTC sanction, charge, or warning ...

They might make the market they deal to you, but that doesn't mean they haven't hedged their net risk exposure that couldn't be matched off internally by other traders.

Brokers that liquidate accounts at zero before negative balance occurs

I'm going to be honest.. I'm really tired of the 'evil broker' witch hunt. A lot of this fear is born out of misunderstanding and people looking for reasons to blame others for their trading losses. I just vented in another tread about this: but ...

Pepperstone Forex

Err... from what I understand, the orders are routed straight to their liquidity providers across Integral's ECN grid. Integral having a facility for the 1k lot sizes. Since the quote itself is fed from Integral, it can't exactly be messed with... ...

That's awesome. I've never had to deal with a negative balance at Oanda on my own accounts so I was going by the poster who pasted his chat conversation with an Oanda rep. Glad to know they also have a zero negative balance policy.

Brokers that liquidate accounts at zero before negative balance occurs

Ok... gotta clear up some FUD here that's just bugging the crap out of me: To everyone here saying the broker who makes the claim of a zero negative balance policy is lying, that's completely absurd. A broker would never put themselves in such a ...

Brokers that liquidate accounts at zero before negative balance occurs

I don't agree with your RR on this... scalp or not. Good luck though

B.S. Trading with Kenneth Lee

Mmm... an increase, as expected, but not as much of an increase as I noticed on my own account. Maybe I just got some unlucky hits here and there. All this talk about slippage makes me want to pull transaction records from all my brokers and compare ...

My Personal Broker Comparison Spreadsheet

Cool. Could you run the same analysis on just the last two months worth of trade data? I was speaking in terms of what I noticed recently... if I included pre-2012 numbers the slippage rates would dive way down on my own stats.

My Personal Broker Comparison Spreadsheet

Yes, slippage has increased a bit with Pepperstone over the last two months. However, it's not constant, and I only notice it during really fast market moves and most commonly on executing stop order (it's not a limit after all, it's a trigger for a ...

This isn't elitetrader's forum... cut the insulting remarks. You might not agree with Marv, but you'd do a heck of a lot better helping him understand your point of view than just bickering like that. url
