  1. Out from under who :confused:

    I'm sure I read somewhere you're long Eur/Usd from 1.46 and averaging into the trade, how's that one going by the way?

  3. OK the thread title is rather pretentious. Not claiming I found my "edge" but just for the hell of it:

    Which broker/dealer are you using?
    FXCM Standard account 10K size (technically a mini did not have the option of 100K sizes.) Seriously considering jumping ship to GFT forex standard because of 120 pairs.

    Platform?
    FXCM Trading Station (don't need metatrader)

    Fixed or variable spread?
    Variable

    Typical spread on EUR/USD?
    Roughly 2.3 pips

    Leverage (50:1, 100:1, 200:1, etc.)?
    50:1 is my favorite although I am now gravitating towards 60:1 and 80:1. If I feel really confident I go 100:1.

    I am a purely positional trader with a horizon of >1 day to 2-3 weeks roughly.

  4. I'll stop making fun of you, if you can answer a simple question

    a real simple question

    Why do you trade with Oanda FX when you can trade at IB FX futures

    not to mention IB is great for SPOT itself

    you expect A REAL trader like me to have respect for you, when you behave like a grasshopper
