I'm lovin' trading futures. It's interesting to see all the data you can't see in spot. Although it moves really fast, seeing large bids and offers pop in and out of the orderbook trying to bait prices in one direction or another is fascinating - ...

You may get the chance today. I know things will start to slow down a little before lunch time. This range we're in now is like a "combat zone." If the buyers can bust the high, there's a lot of sellers who may bail and extend the range upwards.. ...

I'm trading futures. I know it's not the same thing so our prices will be different. But the markets do move in tandem with one another. Before FXCM went belly up here in the US I was using futures transaction data to trade spot with much success. ...

Yeah, really. That offer didn't get filled with much intensity, buyers were exhausted, took it short at the top targeting a large bid. I bailed a little early but I ain't complaining @ $12.50 a point. I was just trying to contribute a little. I ...

Big offer here trying to bait price higher. Buyers are going to have to work hard to bust the day's high.

Offers are thick here but buyers are hittin' 'em hard. Sells taken below run the risk of bailing out as prices move higher, fueling the rally further. If you're short, just be careful.

Joe knows what's up.

Definitely, agree. I wouldn't use the futures orderbook to trade spot. Not religuously at least. In all reality, its almost like a real-time COT report so, while it can give insights into sentiment, it won't help you make accurate trades in the spot ...

Spoken before he puts you on ignore. On the internet, it's the easiest way to separate the men from the boys.

Don't listen to that moron. No BS Day Trading is about trading futures. Since the collapse of FXCM US, I've moved to trading futures and use the tools in that video. Thing is, it's not applicable in it's purest form in spot Forex for two big ...

Closing my account with you guys hurt a little but it had to be done.

Yeah, didn't think so.

I've been trading live with them for almost a decade and I'm still satisfied. Does that count?

It helps to consider your needs and trading style when choosing a broker or, in the case of a broker that uses hybrid execution models; your account type. NDD accounts are good if you consider yourself a high frequency trader and/or scalper. Firstly ...

What that means is that if the spread on a pair among liquidity providers is, let's say 0.2, FXCM adds a markup to that (usually 1-2 pips) so the spread you see on your platform would be 1.2 or 2.2 using that example. Same for the rollover, they'll ...

Consistent with Futures market too.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Fireworks, lol. I sent you that PM.

Cool beans! I did! We burned so much money

Hi again! Good to know. I'm noticing the same issues with changing order positions as well. I'm going through and moving some limit orders around and they're also not updating as I change them. Hitting "refresh" does the trick as you mentioned but I ...
