Comparing demo with Pepperstone I found ICM to have tighter 1min chart. Also the quotes are not the same. Why is that?

Looks good but still too many of you complaining regarding stability of ICM...

Because they are two different companies?

the foreign exchange market is decentralized, it's really just a connection of banks and so each broker has a set of their own price feed providers.

I didn't ask them yet.
Wanted to find out first how common is that with you guys...

been looking at their swaps and for long term swap traders, i think i found the settings:

Sell GBPUSD - 1.18
Sell NZDUSD - (0.74)
Buy GBPUSD - 0

so this combination will deliver the highest swap credit to your account, and it's based on the three pair hedging strategy i found in the other thread. so, is this worthwhile to do?

Common or not, your order was disrespected. I would definitely contact them.

I'm with this broker too, btw. Haven't had any problems yet, though I usually am present in front of my screen while trading, so haven't set any SL's yet. Set a few TP's and all of them worked ok. It does look like that order was disrespected during a high volatility period, nevertheless, I would contact the broker.

ICMarkets is getting Neteller! Right now Neteller transfers are not possible, but pretty soon they will be and hopefully this will serve as a much better transfer of funds than bank wire. Also, seems to be the only payment processor that accepts Canadian Dollar so another plus for me!

My broker (Think) already has Neville but I've never used it. Is it any better than Moneybookers?

'Neville'? you mean neteller? well, i would prefer neteller over moneybookers (skrill) as i've read too many horror stories on accounts frozen even after verification. Also, Neteller's conditions suite me better so it's another plus for me to go with them rather than skrill.

Predictive text in all it's glory!

I guess it is all a need thing. I haven't had a problem with Skrill, but I tend to use Bpay anyway where I can.

well, we all have our preferences. i'm one of those that rather go with a payment system that has a higher fee, but little to none issues such as requesting additional info and what not...while others just look at fee structure, so still glad to see neteller.

IC Markets accept direct credit card depositing. Is there real advantage in using the various payment processors (which still required credit card) and which payment processor is cheapest?
No longer trading forex. Looking for full time job.

Thanks. That was my reasoning too.
I'll post updates here.

Ok, any chance ICMarkets is purposely messing with my connection? So before I posted what happened to me during my speed test and right now, I did a speed test on an ICMarkets demo account and the speed is just completely off. I'm averaging 78ms regardless of open and close. There is one outlier at 407, but after removing that, I averaged it to 78ms. This is waaaaay off the execution speed on my live account.

You do know brokers use different severs usually, in different locations from demo to live?

Honestly you might as well just use a live account and small lots, as your trades may change when you go live anyway.

I have pages and pages of these reports, these are just a couple random's
With a NY CNS server, I would've also expected better. Will size up with Pepper and see who fairs best.
