Hmmm...you know, this is really very disappointing. I use Commercial Network Services for my VPS needs and they are truly a fantastic service. That GO had co-located one of their servers in San Diego with CNS was actually a big reason that I picked ...

GoMarkets Discussion

After looking through the thread again a bit, I discovered a previous post from Chris that seem to explain things. Post number 2334 in this thread seems to make the case for extra DCs adding a layer of security? I am curious to know if there would ...

GoMarkets Discussion

This really needs to be cleared up on the GoMarkets website or something. I've read bits and pieces of this thread and STILL have no idea what the benefit of having DCs outside of Aus' is. I've stayed with CNS because their service is awesome but ...

GoMarkets Discussion

Wow. I used to trade with FXCM and switched simply because I didn't find their MT4 solution to be adequate for my needs. I was never effected by slippage in any major way but I have to say, this seriously erodes my faith that FXCM has been acting in ...

This is HUGE: FXCM fined $2 Million and refunds

What rubbish. If he's using it as money that indeed he doesn't have than yes, you're correct but my cards come with great rewards. On one of them, rushing $1,000 through my card is worth $50 in purchases at my favourite retailer, no matter if I ...

My broker declined my deposit

Ah, I see. Thank you for the further explanation and included example. What I fail to understand now is why the limit has been set at 2 pips. So far as I know, this shouldn't affect me in the slightest but wouldn't this be solved with a one pip ...

I don't understand how these orders would be possible? If two orders are placed simultaneously for instance and closed straight away, wouldn't those who opened the trade simply pay the spread twice? A little more explanation would be nice.

Proof? Not that I expect that from you. It's just as easy for a stock trader to bet all of his money on a short position as it is for forex trader and if you plug enough money into losing equities, you can lose all your money awfully fast simply ...

How can a broker work against you??

So can you make up your mind or what? Is it the brokers or the traders? As I've said already a few times, this level of profitability is notably comparable to the equity markets. It has nothing to do with reputable brokers and everything to do with ...

How can a broker work against you??

"reliable sources" hey? Well shucks...I'm sold! Hell, never before have I been so convinced and given such solid information with which to make decisions! Seriously, you're a moron. Again, the foreign exchange is about as profitable for retail ...

How can a broker work against you??

See, your paranoia is showing. And hey, didn't you finish with me because of my horrid vulgarity? It's funny when you take a position, you're accused of having some sort of self interest. With this logic, I am apparently on the payroll of FX brokers ...

How can a broker work against you??

Hey looky there, a guy hawking a product and using fear to do it. That's like the most timid politician ever making that video. lol. The virtual dealer plugin is troubling yes and if there is a broker out there using it to trade against their ...

How can a broker work against you??

Ars is vulgarity? And I thought we Canadians were so polite. *chuckle* You can stop if you so please but it's either because you're as delicate as a tulip in the sun or because you aren't big enough to admit that you, in the heat of defending a ...

How can a broker work against you??

You know...THIS: Is so very very often followed by this: A sign that perhaps you're prone to making negative assumptions is that you've pulled that popularized 90% figure. Do you have any idea where it came from because I can not for the life of me ...

How can a broker work against you??

I have thought about that. It still doesn't make sense because over the longer term, (and most reputable brokers seem to stick around for more than just a year or two) a broker can collect rediculous amounts in fees so long as the average success ...

How can a broker work against you??

I've always had a lot of trouble with that proposition. I can understand where a fly-by-night operation working as a market maker could do that for some quick profits from their clients but as a sustained business practice? It doesn't make any ...

How can a broker work against you??

I trade this pair quite a bit and have noticed that GoMarkets averages around the 1.2-1.4 mark. They're pretty good I think.

Any brokers with 2 pip spread on eur/gbp

Careful in the shower, you could slip on a bar of soap. I hear it's happened before. That and people have gotten struck by lightening. Check the thread, read about the problem. It's a good idea but consider what happened and consider why.

Oanda, Go markets, or MB trading

I understand that MT5 is good from a programming standpoint, but also that very few have used MT5 and put up rave reviews about it. Perhaps as more becomes available for MT5, it will become more appealing but for now, it doesn't seem all that great ...

GoMarkets Discussion

A number of others brokers DID have the same wide spreads. Some brokers however compensate their clients. GO does not and frankly, i don't fault them for that. When FXCM for instance does reimburse their clients for data feed errors from the banks. ...
