I think that, if my dealer protects himself from too much risk by temporarily raising the spread, I should consider that the pair is also too risky for me. Do you think that this is a sound logic to follow :?: What more could we conclude from spread monitoring to complement our trading...

Do you think that this statement, within certain conditions, could be a basis for a sound trading method, or just plain stupidity anyway?

Uh oh... I was also looking for the best place in the world to trade and I found that maybe that's where I am: Porto, Portugal. Let's see... 1. Warm Climate Average 20 degrees celsius, 30 degrees August, 10 degrees February. Dozens of beaches, bars and SPAs. Tourism is growing. Porto and...

I'll be trying to gather more specific information. Here's some interesting bits from MetaTrader's web site: About MetaTrader 4 Manager API: - MetaTrader 4 Manager API can be used to develop unique risk management programs for controlling and managing the company's positions. - Report...

Yesterday I asked a GFT guy if they prefer or avoid some type of trading style. He said there's really no problem nor preference if a client does a one minute scalping or stays in a position for several days. I tried to catch some kind of bias but he only asked for fair play, as there's one...

gc1 & Martinghoul, thanks so much for your replies :) Now I see that a good customer must be the one who doesn't use leverage at all and, as you say, wins consistently placing large trades. This kind of customer must be rare, as these people can be just switching money between regular bank...

Last year I was at Forex Club using Rumus platform and had a real account that went exactly $0.00 without further problems (excelent charting platform but long execution times). Now I'm much more experienced in money management and looking around to try other market makers, but read somewhere...

Hi guys, It seems that some brokers/dealers explicitly state that the client is liable for a negative balance and may contact him to pay it, while others are not clear about what happens. In the event of a crazy market spike/gap, are margin calls really enough to stop some undercapitalized...

Ok, forgot to tell... I was talking about Forex, say EURUSD and GBPUSD. If an order takes 30 seconds after you click the button (Alpari? Forex Club?), you may lose dozens of pips (more times than win). Randomness at this point seems undesirable, even if you plan to close the position 2 days later.

Hey all, I was trying to google for some broker comparison on an execution speed basis, but no success. Of course it depends on the market behavior, but on average, how long you wait to get your order done? Does a demo account fool you in order execution time? Some people say that demo...
