Disliked{quote} It's not a question of likely or not. If you don't pay commission your orders go into a B book, that's a fact. Do you think the broker works for you for free? Ask him to change your account to a feed where you pay commission and see what their answer this. An American court doesn't sentence the then biggest retail Forex broker because of "likelyness". Please understand that I don't want this thread to turn into a broker bashing. All I'm telling is how the business works. Due diligence and decision making need to be done by everyone him/herself....Ignored

Dislikedemmzett, if you can respond to this No bashing of brokers......and I am not getting to be "paranoid"...I just want to understand and doing my due diligence.. Per your statements, 1. I am in a B book and my personal trades most likely manipulated as I am a profitable trader? i.e Oanda sees my trades and widen the spread to get my stop losses. 2. If I ask for commission trading, #1 will not happen Correct?Ignored
DislikedA general recommendation: Install an outgoing firewall and block outgoing connections from MetaTrader/MetaEditor to MetaQuotes. Only allow outgoing connections to your broker. This avoids nasty surprises from all kind of MetaQuotes activity, including market and community spam. After all you want to trade and not share your cat pictures. {image} A good one for outgoing connections is Windows Firewall Control. Your broker can indeed see whether or not an order is executed manually or by an expert/script....Ignored
DislikedHello, first of all I hope I am in the right section here. I was just curious if a mt4/mt5 broker can steal the code of an indicator or ea no matter if its profitable or not. I saw in Metatrader there is a "journal tab" which inform us for example when indicator or ea's get loaded/removed successfully. Is it technically possible that brokers can steal the code/the settings of an indi/ea if I load my custom indicator on the chart?. And therefore would be there a connection between my indicator and my broker?. Or does my broker only receive my orders?....Ignored

Disliked{quote} First, "Windows Firewall Control" is a program which lets you block network connections on a program level (for one or more specific or for any program). So I can block access to mql5.com for MetaTrader but the browser still can access that domain. Second, the default mode of "Windows Firewall Control" is to give an alarm (sound and popup) as soon as a program tries to connect to a domain not matched by any former rule. One can start with that mode to create rules, even if all domains/IPs are unknown. There are two tools I use to create...Ignored
