Hi roncer, I'm not sure what you are meaning here. On a single 25k worth of currency, it is $2.5/pip maximum (usually, eur/gbp is an exception...
Only the way to go if you trade a small group of currencies. If anyone is interested in crossrates they have no other choice - I prefer spot...
While I understand that we as traders want to get the tightest spread we can. But during some major news events I think it is unreasonable to...
I have heard very positive things about Ensign for charting and I am going to try this. Lots of things about TS for charting are no good. Only in...
