Might be worth mentioning in this thread. Dirt cheap comms..Ignored
DislikedBecause some people trade with bigger deposits and have concerns over realiability of execution.
FXOpen is broker with very, very low level of credibility among serious traders who in general closed their accounts with FXOpen.
And yes they are good for leverage and promotions, if you prefer.Ignored
DislikedI looked at them a long time ago...but it didn't seem like they were taking individual accounts...I wonder when they started taking smaller accounts? Certainly an anvenue worth exploring, so thanks for bringing it to our attention! Have u traded with them? If so, can u give us any particulars?Ignored
Dislikedwell fxopen's leverage is amongst the best around, and lots of traders want good leverage.Ignored
DislikedFlashCall is the local expert on this. I'm quoting him from PM:
"if you must login to PRET (ProductionRETail) you will have the Viking aka Margin Classic stuff...that is b-booked...if you login to fxtrades.currenex.net or thru currenx.com you have the live Pro CNX."Ignored
DislikedDouble-edged sword is actually a very accurate description of leverage.
Like a lot of other things in the world of forex trading, leverage is sorely misunderstood by many. It's a tool. Used wisely it can work in our favour. Used unwisely and things can go sour.
Keep in mind: you don't need a sledge-hammer to knock in tin-tacks.
Leverage is a tool. Learn to apply it judiciously and your trading accounts will thank you for it.Ignored
Dislikedhi,
so what ECN brokers are compatible with MT4 ?
are there any stp's with mt4 ? - or is that a matter of account size ?
does anyone know of any ecn's offer gold with mt4 ?
also, ideally brokers would be in Europe. I was thinking of going with dukascopy, but they do not offer live mt4 yet !
any others ?
thanksIgnored
DislikedI'm not really sure there are any...Maybe MBT but I think they are based in the US. I have never used them so maybe someone else could offer more insight...
Also, MT4 is crap. Many better charting packages out there... Personally, I use reuters for charting, but the price is a little high (1,500/month). But the advantage is get reuters news feeds and lots of analytics. Bloomberg is also nice from an analytic standpoint, too. Although I prefer reuters news and charts.
Basically, all the charting platforms you get from market makers are awful....Ignored

Dukascopy offers Jforex, but i am not a programmer and know little of java man !Ignored
Disliked2. Does Cantor offer charting on Currenex (as that is what I have now) as well as oco orders, if done, and if done oco? No charting (as ours is institutional platform) but yes to the the order types.Ignored
DislikedBut dukascopy actually supplies their feed to fxopen, who DO offer mt4.Ignored

DislikedThey are wrong to say that they dont offer charting on FXtrades because they have the institutional platform. CX offers simple charting on their FXtrades platform (as you already seen on LCG)
At this moment of time I prefer Hotspot over CX.Ignored
