Oanda losses connection around NFP...again!

But you pay commissions with MB and IB.
If you're an intraday short term trader, it can add up very quickly.

No one is abusing me

 

just curious, but what the hell do you think that spread is that you pay?

 

less at oanda than the spread + commission at IB, I tried both, I feel the difference ...

 

That spread is money I'm willing to pay my broker for his hard work

There's one broker who is willing to work for free, still no feedback from them...

MB pays you.

 

not if you scalp, you can't scalp with limit-orders.

 

cstfx: do you have personal experience with MB? Are they any good?
On a first look spreads dont look that impressive for an ecn (especially usd/jpy and cable).

 

They only pay for limit orders which I barely use.

 

yes, who I don't know any short term traders that use limit orders if they are not market makers or semi-market makers.

 

They're ok. Used them more when leverage was 100:1 vs IB's 40:1, but now don't see much of an advantage. TraderKGB is more of a fan of them then I am, but bottom line, they are just another retail fx broker, no better, no worse than some of the others.

not everyone "scalps"
