yea i still made great money today.... however, 10-12 spread greatly increases negative expectancy of a trade....Im glad i was using wider stop on my eu trade. I dont really scalp that much anyways, most of my trades are 100+ trades off of 4h. I may only make 4-5 trades a week, I find that its less stressful and yields a lot more profit. Im going to dukascopy anyways....
Yeah.. that's my ideal trading as well.. but.. the PA of late has me jumping in and out more...

Bullish inside bar developed over the hrly. Price currently stuck on the actual level of 1.2850 (mid whole number s/r level). I'm anticipating price action to reach 1.2900 level.
especially if it breaks the 15m trend line.. sitting around 72 right now..

I opened my dukascopy through an ib called molecule 6, and they rebate 45% o the commission you pay Dukas, so it's a great deal overall, and due to a special arrangement, they will let you open an account with as little a 10K.
I like to use 2 brokers so I can have a back up in case one of them has platform issues, noe by a process of elimination, fxcm is out.
Off with their heads !
If only I knew then what I know now...

Hello,

They're open 24/7 for trading. The rate rarely moves other than normal hours and right before/after close.

The spread does increase to 10 pips+ after normal trading hours.

You cannot hedge but you can open as many sub-accounts as you want and there is no fee whatsoever with oanda.

I have MINOR connection issues but nothing compared to ANY mt4 platform I've every used.

My connection issues to be honest though are more than like related to my outdated wireless card

Depends, I use both the software windows/java install version as well as the Java web based version. At one point, connection problems got so bad i opened an acct with Alpari US to trade spot metals. Alpari's date feed can be questionable at times. I've experienced huge candlestick spikes to where I didn't see any spiked on my ProRealTime charts. So when trading spot silver I alternate between the two brokers. Which everone is not experiencing problems for the day is the one I trade with for the day.

Though I've begged GFT to offer spot metals. I continue to beg 'em. As soon as GFT gets spot metals, I'm jumping all over that while closing my accts with the other brokers.

FXCM is screwing me bigtime.. If I ever get enough money to matter I will be taking it out if that account.. Getting screwed about 5 pips with every trade .. watching spreads like a hawk during exectution.. those guys suck.. showing a spread they aren't coming close to honoring..
have the same send them a complain email they told me to do so nothing happened they are sh#t and I will leave them too and anyone who ask I tell them not to use FXCM in the future.
