Oh, I see, thanks for pointing that out!

Thanks for the reply JD! I did look at their commission page and saw nothing about charges for going over leverage that I could find. Will take another good look and see what I can find.

Is my question dumb? I asked Dukascopy directly via email and never got a reply either LOL. My thinking is that since they still allow your positions to stay open up to 199% used leverage, that there must be extra charges from 101% to 199%??? Since ...

Dukascopy

Did not want to mention their name and do them any discredit as I see how damaging things like that can do to honest brokers so I just wanted to know the times that are not good for trading. It is a web demo, so going live may be very different and ...

worst time of day to trade?

It is possible, but usually in the broker's favor with all their tricks

It is possible to be rich in FX!

Could you or someone here with a live account tell me what the extra fees would be when the leverage is from 101% to 199%? Just want to make sure I have all my bases covered as I'm going live in 3 days.

Dukascopy

I guess so? I just don't understand it enough, that's why I posted it because I keep reading how brokers everywhere "trade against" their clients regularly, but I really don't know what that means. I do understand when people complain about some ...

Can anyone explain the paragraph below in the Dukascopy fine print? I thought true ECN's were not engaged in that type of activity of trading against their user's or am I misinterpreting what it is saying? I already sent my documents to open a live ...

Dukascopy

I just skimmed through the 1.5:1 proposed rule change, but is it basically saying retail accounts should only be allowed 1.5:1 in order to protect them? If so, how would that leverage protect them when there are so many bucket shops out there that ...

CFTC Final Retail Forex Rules - 50:1 Leverage

Thanks for that info! Have to watch for those news releases then if that is the case. I constantly hear that many are happy with Oanda, but I scratched them off my list for some reason when I was looking. I forgot, but I think it had something to do ...

Demo vs Live

Well, I just tried Googlechrome and it is not compatible with their web platform. I noticed just now that instead of logging in and out of their platform, I just need to restart it often. File>Restart. When the message box reads "reconnecting", ...

Web platform hogging my PC memory

I've been using CCleaner for years, great little program, thanks. I think it says somewhere on Duk's website site that there are certain priorities for people with higher accounts, so maybe that could be it and maybe they get to run on a system that ...

Web platform hogging my PC memory

Thanks eagle4x! Slack, I did disable all the add-ons from Firefox but it didn't make a difference. Also one of my other PC's didn't have any add-ons with Firefox. I'll start playing with other browsers later on and see what happens. Right now, every ...

Web platform hogging my PC memory

Good to know thanks. Have to recalculate all my strategies then as I did not expect a 50% extra charge on the swaps. Knew there had to be more to it then I was initially thinking! Still don't get why I get charged commission everyday either, but ...

Volume Commission through ECN question

Sorry to jump in here, but how would a noob like me know when liquidity is limited? Are there some hours of the day or night that are better to trade than others?

Demo vs Live

Thanks m.m.m. Some bugs don't make sense to me and I even got a margin call against me for no reason, but then the trade did execute and I took profit later on last night, so I see some bugs in the message box mostly and sometimes the currency boxes ...

Dukascopy

Thanks, that's a great idea! I'll try it tonight and see if that makes a difference or not.

Web platform hogging my PC memory

Could you elaborate on some of their bugs on their live platform? Just wondering if those bugs are similar to what I have experienced on their web demo.
