{quote} i was looking at that, less then 1/2 pip in and out.. whats the widest spread that u have noticed?
Usually 0.2 spread I have even seen a -0.1 spread and then commissions are 0.8 cents round turn (or 0.4 cent per side) So if you have a 0.1 spread with 0.8 cents commission. Total out of pocket is 0.9 which before it was averaging me 2.3 so I am saving +1.4 pips per trade and that adds up. I don't earn a dime off of FXCM I just recommend them. Good Luck!

{quote} I'm one of the IBFX takeover accounts with them. I wasn't aware we had a choice between typical spreads with no commission or the ECN pricing. Do we? Like you I'd opt for no commissions. The spread never mattered to me. Thanks eggs.
I actually opened my first live account with ATC brokers. At the time they were an introductory broker for FXCM. I've since transferred a portion of my balance from ATC to FXCM's MT4. I asked their rep about their ECN pricing & he said all I would have to do is put in a request for the new ECN pricing. It might not go the other way though. There may not be an option to opt out of the new pricing. In other words if you're opening a new account with them they may give you the ECN pricing as a default.

But again... for me a difference in spread is negligible for my entry/exit profiles.

for those who love intraday trading : go long and aim for 1.24708 go short and aim for 1.24442 both prices will be hit today. currently the price stands between them. once one of them get hit, go all out for the other position. make sure your equity can hold up to 100 pips. happy trading

I'm sorry, but I exceeded my daily message limit. Will reply after 24hrs.
Have a green day to everyone.

does anyone know whether....EURUSD short positions have negative swap or not? because i get positive swaps on alpari uk but negative on fxpro....weird
interbank swap, US rake hike vs Euro easing and interest rate lower than US,

http://www.cbrates.com/flags/usa.jpg0-0.25 % (- 0.75) http://www.cbrates.com/images/pfeil-unten.gif USA | Funds Rate (Dec 16, 2008)
http://www.cbrates.com/flags/europa.jpg0.05 % (- 0.10) http://www.cbrates.com/images/pfeil-unten.gif Eurozone | Key Interest Rate (Sep 04, 2014)

so yea ur supposed to receive a positve swap...

if negative, then it means ur broker is marking up swaps as a "Service charge"

most of the brokers have a setup in cyprus... thats doesnt make them a "bucket shop" because of that....

Yeah I've searched the site and found no option for it. I will ask them if it works the other way and perhaps I could opt out of the new model. Thanks again.

i rechecked... FXPro isnt in cyprus...
a broker called Tadawulfx was in Cyprus before, and they are SUCH a bucket shop they rebranded their company after the whole incident where Cypriot bank deposits were confiscated... maybe a year ago or something

I too am one of the IBFX takeover accounts now with FXCM. I started with FXCM in September 2007, then Tradestation Securities, then IBFX, and now back to FXCM. To me it's all the same... they all take my money.

The scam has not ended yet. We have only the visible part of the iceberg. I suspect there is much much more to come and discover. There are still two more suspicious protagonists implied in this saga.

The concurrent thread opener has now a link to his twitter account where he is very active, we know what it means. I think that the link was not here this week end. Anyway scoundrels exploiting knowledge and coding abilities of bona fide contributors.

People, don't install any of the indis they provide on your computer.

EURUSD tested the horizontal support level of 1.2440 and is reversing towards 1.2485 again; however, German ZEW Economic Sentiment can restrict pair's up-move and can once again force it to test the grounds.

We can expect a positive number for Zew sentiment so watch out.


forcast previous

05:00 EURGerman ZEW Current Conditions (Nov) 1.3 - 3.2
05:00 EURGerman ZEW Economic Sentiment (Nov) 0.9 - 3.6
05:00 EURZEW Economic Sentiment 4.3 4.1

 

  1. Within expectations: -2.0 to +4.0: In such a case, the Euro is likely to rise within range, with a small chance of breaking higher.
  2. Above expectations: +4.1 to +8.0: An unexpected higher reading can send EUR/USD above one resistance line.
  3. Well above expectations: Above +8.0: In such a scenario, a second resistance line might be broken.
  4. Below expectations: -6.0 to -2.1: A sharper decrease than forecast could push the pair below one support level.
  5. Well below expectations: Below -6.0: A very weak release could rattle the markets, and EUR/USD could break a second support level.
