Not in my experience to be honest. (and I gave some brökers hell here. lol) Posts get removed when members report them. Just cut back a little on the useless ranting/swearing. I.e attack the broker without breaking forum rules and try to be helpful ...

It is an improvement as far as I'm concerned, provided everything continues to work well (e.g. execution speed remains the same etc). I don't care how they do it or who gets the commissions and who doesn't. I just remembered that FastBrokers does ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

And if you can be consistently profitable with low leverage, being stuck with low leverage just means you have to get high capital to make winnings worthwhile. I can use your argument to limit you to 1:1 leverage, it doesn't make 1:1 leverage good. ...

Interesting indeed. Where are the Oandian weekend trading advocates now? Good call though, Oanda. You should indeed focus less on trying to be somehow "special" in ways that are barely useful to clients, and focus more on providing a more ...

On topic: Just noticed they reduced their commission to start from 35 instead of 48. I guess they're trying to be more competitive for retail clients (their target market). It's good but I think they should rather try to improve their ...

^ I don't know what your definition of "scalping" is, but I never trade over the weekends, I never expose myself to 100 pip moves, and I don't need 1:1 leverage to protect me (if you call that scalping then I'm happily a scalper). To me it's all ...

Honestly I'd LOVE to ditch microsoft and switch to a linux based system instead, if it weren't for all the compatibility issues and what a hassle it is to make stuff work there. I mean, even MT4 is not linux-compatible, and you have to use Wine as a ...

This. Not everybody lives in EU/UK/USA (yet for some reason we have to suffer their anti-money laundering/terrorism regulations in addition to our own retarded regulations).

LMAX = revolution?!?

Don't you love these kinds of statements in FF. So... Why 30:1? Why not 20:1 or 40:1? Care to show us the statistical data you somehow collected that led you to this precise conclusion? Lemme guess, you pulled that number out of your ass. OR you ...

Okay I just spoke to them. As you said, they seem willing to fix this. "We will be changing credit card gateway operator in the coming week or two. Hopefully it would then be much easier to deposit with credit cards. Thank you for your feedback." ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

And why were you using the classic account? You should be using the exchange account if you want raw LMAX access. Last but not least, unless you can present proof of dodgy activity by the bröker, don't blame your trading failure on "forex". If you ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

More inaccuraties... Markets do close. The spot fx market doesn't, but only technically so. Only a few shops allow weekend trading (oanda is one of them). Weekend trading is overestimated by the oanda lovers here as liquidity and volatility are ...

Just got an email from my current ECN bröker notifying me about the potentially high volatility Greek election situation, what it means and how I should be careful especially if I'm purely a tech trader who never looks at the news. But that is all. ...

Respect. There are quite a few drunk-posting imbeciles with temper issues around here, as you might expect from what is practically a gambling forum. Just ignore them. It works wonders.

Just read that Oanda recently appointed a new CEO about 3 weeks ago, finally replacing Michael Stumm (who btw was its founder). The new guy is called K Duker (yes his first name is one letter) who "headed up Deutsche Bank’s eFX business in Asia ...

OANDA Discussion

Not talking about other brökers or this occurrence in particular, just this ridiculous "we know what's best for you" attitude of Oanda, and the hypocrisy of always making it (and other risk-related tactics of theirs) appear as if they're doing it ...

Usually a sign that nobody is having problems atm.

LMAX = revolution?!?

What a joke this "bröker" is. Lemme see. Basically they'll stop all trading activity when they expect a period that THEY deem too volatile for THEIR taste. I mean after all it has always been their philosophy that traders have no right to freely ...
