Hi all,
First off, geppy, I think you have an amazing thread here, so many great traders. Been trading about 3 years, and I've learned more in six weeks since following this thread and applying 100 pips third screen strategy as well. A few posts back you mentioned looking for a new broker. I was with MB for two years and overall think they are great except for the issues you describe. I now trade with fxdd, but you must use their jforex platform, it is dukascopy platform, liquidity and spreads. I pay $2.50 each way per $100K and spread is 1.6- 2.3 on gbpjpy. Free margin is based off equity, so you can pyramid your margin. Only drawback is when free margin is gone margin call closes all positions not just one at a time. Awesome iphone and ipad apps as well. Thought it would be worth a look for you.
