Disliked{quote} here in aussi mate we not allowed to give advice , look in the end the brokers are not your friend they out for themselves , they all have plugins for there platforms , so in my books if you are aware of the what they do then you know how to avoid some of the unethical things , myself i am with icmarkets been with them for years but doing your research and asking google the questions about different brokers , remember its your money you need to protect , edit , fxcm were saying years ago how good they were and were not a bbook broker and...Ignored
DislikedI am trading the MES. The broker I use offers many platforms, some cost, others free. Currently I am using mt5. I use a (paid for) trade manager that works just fine with the futures. I opted to go this route for now as my method was first put together on forex then the MES. Currencies on the CME may not be the way to go as the volume is not the best. Almost worth taking the chance to trade against a broker (as that is how most retail fx works). Traders in the US are limited to basically IG(US), Forexdotcom, and 0anda. Unless you need real tight...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Are you placing your orders on the MT5. You are correct volume on the currencies are low, but still doable, but a slow go. Taxes are a major issue. Did you trade with one of the brokers you mentioned? Have you ever traded with a prop firm? I gave it some thought, but then drop the idea. Is did well with FXCM back in the days when the principals Dave & Drew were answering the phones. Never had any issues that weren't resolved. Some was totally my fault & even some of those I was given a break. FXCM had the best trading software I've ever...Ignored

Disliked{quote} I use mt5 because I set my system up on it and mt4 and did not want to go through too many hoops with another platform. I trade off the chart. So far no issues. mt5 does not take the commision and fees until it does a "sync". That will lower what you see at the time. More of a nuisance. If I start to get to the level I want I will likely move to a different platform. I have used IG(US) and forexdotcom. Currently looking at 0anda mt4 in demo. If you scalp these are not the brokers to use. I mostly have it now to keep up with others with the...Ignored
Disliked{quote} SPZD, Oanda has other accounts available if you call them and talk to them...the mt4 raw account, not sure on the mt5, that you automatically get signed up for on their website, in my experience/opinion, can surprise you with 10 or 14 pip spreads that you won't know about until AFTER the trade has been placed NOT during a news event. But, if you call them and ask, they will tell you they have an account that isn't raw. take a look at greentradertax dot com for US tax info if you haven't found them already. They will agree with you that it's...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Thanks! I have looked into greentradertax. That was good info even if it was "rushed" I bring up taxes a lot because most US traders never mention them and if you are not going to try to do this big time (still working on it but that is the goal) you need to be aware of low threshold to trigger attention.Ignored
