Right now the spread on IG on EURUSD dailies (that is what I trade) is 5 pips weeklies 10 pips, if You could suggest a broker with similar or a lower spread I'd be grateful.
I'd like to trade forex options but, to my knowledge, non-standard expiries aren't offered. Am i wrong?
doesn't really matter, because the spread is widened by ig at will durin' the session. the broker is also very dishonest, committed to illegal practices and defrauding' activities. by the way u work for them don't u?
You seem to be a little bit paranoid here. So far I'm satisfied with IG but maybe will change my mind in the near future, who knows. Anyway can anyone suggest a broker that allows to sell daily fx options except for "Saxo" and "Man".
Ikon seems to be a white label for Saxo, could be wrong. Man doesn't offer the former-Refco exotics, but I think GNI[Man-owned] offers exotics via phone dealing. Saxo states they offer exotics, but the dealer is always "out today", and their back-office is the worst in the industry. The only positive I can mention is the spread on their vanillas never exceed 10pips. Pip-premium < .0050 often trade at 7pip-markets or less. BOM seems to pay-out. Oanda had the perfect setup, but killed the options-platform this week. UBS, DB, SocGen, etc... are viable for top-tier accounts. UBS will not take US retail, regardless of $.
u might get paranoid uself when ig start addin' misterious transfers and transactions that never took place and showin' a positive net while affectin' your acct negatively. beware, shit can really happen at ig.
I've wondered about that for over two years, which is how long I've been waiting for a reply to my query to UBS's Atlanta office, specifically sent to the email address of the person whose name I was given to contact there, about trading spot forex thru UBS. The account amount I mentioned to the representative was not, uh, inconsequential, but I gather from your comment that I could have mentioned any amount and not gotten a reply.
Pretty crass that they didn't offer the courtesy of a reply, but they're of the opinion that the large retail client isn't worth the effort. My wife attempted to open a personal account to use fxtrader through their wealth mgmt dept and was turned down with multiples of their $500k corp req.
