    I have traded stocks for a few years.
    I am considering trading forex through IB, never traded it before, will paper trade for a bit.

    I would be grateful for any advice and/or experiences trading forex through IB.

    What might be the advantages / disadvantages such as margin ( it is 40:1 by the looks of it), working hours, anything else.

    For instance I can see that as I write this and watch EUR.USD the last price is marked as the closing price C1.41.
    But I thought that forex is open 24/7, so what is with the closing price?

    I can see that IDEALPRO is the exchange used.

    Thanks in advance.
