damn if he doesnt take it, I will!

while I accept you are right, that explanantion means little to me as I know nothing about fX. ( entirely on my shoulders here !) Maybe you arent communicating the typical spread well enough on your site...then again I only have myself as the example customer here :p

6 point spread isnt ideal. Then again I guess you cant have it all.

3 minute! hehe

Gammer basically just described me :)

is the spread competitive with IG?

so fxcm is consistantly the winner? taxes...I will worry about that if I win :)

Oh...maybe one more question. Do any of you spreadbet the Fx? If so what platform do you use? OANDA seemed to be the best..but then the extreme increase in spread size around announcements means its not suitable. Capital spreads has a stable spread size it seems. What do you use?

Thankyou guys. I am currently working on something, and that has validated some of my logic. ( I know nothing about everything...its just maths I am playing with to grab some pips) Once again, thankyou. ( Hopefully I can come back with some pips to show for myself)

What platforms do you use...and why? Just a little fact finding mission, to try decipher the best to use. Seach function wasnt much help :)

LOL. what a noob I am. So... its actually 2.5 and 1.2 at release? damn swapping over from Capital today has rendered me incapable to operate in Pipettes!

just wow...current spread is 25 points on one and 13 points on the other on OANDA following the 1 o clock news Capital is steady at 3 points....cant say im too impressed. I havent grasped how this affects my trading, but im guessing it aint good.

I position myself 2-10 minutes before the release of the data. then hold for 15mins or so. maybe longer 25 pips..just wow. Capital spreads have never done that to me, to my knoweldge anyway. I honestly dont know the score...I know very little hehe.

my trading is around economic release data..this might prove a problem hehe. Are you saying they widen the spreads before news is released..and its widened by 25 points? Me knowing very little I interpret that as the spread being increased to 25 pips..which surely must be wrong?

Anyone here use them? I find their client pretty amazing..apart from the charts. Cant get used to them after using Capital spreads. Any horror stories / good stories before I put some money down on the fx ^^
