Hello forex traders. I'm just coming from some nice training. Well, I see cable going down before resuming little upward move.

Cloggie,

FXCM's website states their typical spread for G/U is 3 and for E/U it is 2.3. How do you get such low spreads?
Nice research.

Don't believe me, do your research. And if you don't mind paying 1 pip more for each time you open and close a trade by trading on DBFX TS, I don't care it is your money you are pissing away not mine, I refuse to pay more then 1 pip spread for Cable and 0.4 for Fibre.

Sorry, I still don't see the 1 pip for GU and .4 you speak of. I am relatively new at this, so please correct me if I am wrong. Yes, I went there as well...They state 1.8 pips for GU and .7 for EU PLUS $10 commission (both sides) which equals total cost of 1.7 for EU and 2.8 for GU for a full turn. Am I figuring this wrong? BTW, I use FXPro and typical spread for GU is 1.8-2 and EU is 1.0-1.3....

Also, I really like your views on the forex market. I have learned much form you....thanks!

It all depends on your balance and volume of trading with them. We were discussing large accounts, not mini accounts.

I have a question. If a broker is only making pennies on your low spread trades, do they have an incentive to make money in "Creative Ways" to appease their employees, masters and utility providers?

I think that is very worthy of consideration.

Everytime my shorts are stopped out at break even, I say thank you, and I place it just a little bit higher.

1. Make sure window with required image is active, click on the Alt+PrtSc button.
2. Open 'Paint'
3. Edit -> Paste (Ctrl+V).
4. Now use select tool to select the image required. That is the icon with the dotted rectangle.
5. Once you have selected the area to copy, go to Edit -> Copy.
6. File -> New (Don't save old image, so click NO)
7. Click on the white background and on the bottom right you should see a handle. Click on this and drag it to make the white background is smaller than the image you just copied in step 4. THIS STEP IS NOT REQUIRED IF THE BACKGROUND IS ALREADY SMALLER THAN THE IMAGE
8. Edit -> Paste (Ctrl+V)
9. The background will now rejust to the exact size of the image
10. File -> Save your image ready for uploading to FF.

You should save it as a PNG file, NOT BMP. PNG files are much smaller. JPG is patented and you should avoid using it, hence the new PNG format.

Now anyone can take a screenshot of anything, crop it to the right size and upload it to FF using standard Windows tools.

Good luck everyone!
