Hi Guys, Anyone know any broker that gives a free demo account for options? Not binary options, real options? thanks

I have a bit of experience with DMA and I can see the clear benefits compared to CFD's. To answer your question: - CL, GC and Bund futures mainly. - Daytrading - Not sure yet maybe around 20k - CQG Trader looks good thanks EDIT: I basically just need information on the different FCM's and...

Hi, I'm looking to move onto trading real futures with CME and Eurex, no more CFD's. I've looked around but I can't find a simple guide in getting started with this? Can anyone explain the process and requirements for an individual? Thanks!

Hi Guys, just wondering if anyone here knows any services that one could use to receive real time figures from economic announcements in XML or something. I need the data to be fed into the platform that I've coded. Thanks!

Guys I asked on another website. The trader (who is a pro) said that the API is a guess of the EIA figure using various sources.

Hi Guys, Another noob question from me, just want something cleared up if anyone can help? EIA Report : shows the amount of commercial crude held by US firms. API Report : Shows inventory levels of crude (per investing.com). My question is, what is the difference between the two figures...

Thanks, I thought so but why the bog move?

Every evening I've noticed a high volume move between 7pm and 8pm London time. Anyone know why it happens?

I'm going to put in a good word for London Capital Group. -Seriously low spreads. -Fast execution. -They do widen spreads during news, but no where near some other (looking at IG and Oanda), but I have NEVER got horrible slippage either.... they just seem to have the deepest liquidity. -Never...

Hi Guys, Just got requoted 3 times on AUDUSD after the announcement and finally got a fill AT .78368!!!!!! I'm on GKFX... was anyone else here scalping that too? did you manage to get a decent execution (maybe on a NDD broker like FXCM?). Thought I would ask before I withdraw and move to...

Hi Team, I've noticed that Oil starts rallying after higher inventories have been announced. Like today for example 3.6mio expected but figure was 8.4mio ... more than double. Is my perspective of supply and demand out of wack?

I only trade WTI after the NYMEX floor opens. So at 2pm London time. I don't like trading in low liquidity hours because strange things happen.

found one... GKFX if anyone's interested .

Hi Guys, Since Alpari collapsed I'm looking for a new broker. Anyone know any SB's that cover the below requirements? : - Must use MT4 - Don't mind if they're futures - Trade FTSE100, DJIA and S&P with a minimum of 10p per pip Thanks,!

I doubt it... If market must have missed a lot of people's SL levels in the move and the rush for liquidity probably only made things worse so in essence I don't think poor execution took place. I think they should introduce stress testing requirements to these firms, similar to what banks need...
