    My thoughts exactly. I don't know what these other smart guys are blabbing about. I have traded with several pure and even small retail broker and this issue of trading against you does not exist in all of them.

    So when you trade forex, and you go long USD/JPY, what do you own?

    how my broker will hedge my 0.01 lot trade? buy/sell 1000 units of a currency on the interbank market? There is no actual exchange of the currencies in any "stage" of the deal.
