Anyone Using IB for FOREX?

FXCM is the best for currency trading, they are the biggest in the US, over 12,000 customers... they know what they are doing... 4-5 pip spreads on the majors.

 

4-5 pip spreads are more like it.

 

This was at 5:14 pm Mtn time

eur/usd 1.1031/33
usd/jpy 117.12/15
usd/chf 1.3296/00
gbp/usd 1.6064/69

These rates smoke about everyone,
the eur/usd is almost always 2 pip spread

Thanks a lot guys for the recommendations.

 

For browser trading, IB offer WebTrader, which is easier to use but very light in functionality compared to TWS. Unfortunately, WebTrader doesn’t support opening forex charts, leaving only stocks, indexes, and futures available for charting.

 

wow, reviving a thread which is dead for 17 years! A lot has changed meanwhile.
Why did you decide to go back this far in history to add a post to? Too much time on your hands due to lockdown?
