Oanda, I would say IB has still some work to do before I move my FX trading there. What about a conventional account window and P&L ? IB developers are fools . As for stops, if you use them nowadays you will get stopped out all the time, it has nothing to do with your broker IMO, the stop gunning if any must come from those fuckers at IB's. The reality is that the market will take you out every time you think you can set a "stop" somewhere.
I tried IB's FX Trader about 2 years ago, sounds like it's still garbage! Nice neat little boxes but I never saw anything in them when I had trades open. The idea was good though....
cable, down in the left angle, u can see Pos >> that means if there is -100.000 then you are short 100.000 and when you see 100.000 you are long IDIOT
Sorry was 'IDIOT' your signature or were you calling me an idiot? In that screenshot I had open trades and pending orders, it's why I took the screenshot in the first place, to send to IB to show that despite having open trades and pending orders the boxes were......empty! lol, but thanks for your help anyway
stop embarrassing yourself Oanda shill learn to trade and save 10 k to open IB account I know you can't afford one now
"I never saw anything in them when I had trades open"... that means it doesnt work.... i had no problem and others in forum where i look at also didnt have problems about what you mentioned. So when you now have a problem not showing your profit / position / open order, 1. thing i learned is analyze what you did wrong :-=))))
It was around the time that the FX Trader bolt-on was first released, even the woman giving the webinars couldn't get it to work, now that really was funny! It's not an issue now, I don't have an account there any more
