Exactly, that's why I've never had one pip in slippage on a stop. The software has only gone down once so far, I'm not really concerned about that. Please provide a real trade that you or someone has done where they called in a trade and were "raped" on the price. I bet you won't do this though. You'll just say I'm naive or whatever. Would you like me to post my account statements? I bet you'll be disappointed.
My mom always told me, âstupid is as stupid does.â Which do you think is stupid, making false statements that you havenât backed up, or trying to set the record straight?
Wow that's vastly different from what you were saying a year ago. Let's take a trip back in time. response by cabletrader http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1847134#post1847134 and, in your own words http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1849411#post1849411 and let's not forget the crown jewel http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1848324#post1848324 You almost say it better than me. You are a complete f**king liar. Mark Sanford has more credibility than you. Case closed.
Just like cabletrader, you have absolutely zero credibility. This is what you said one year ago. What a complete fraud you two are. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1848630#post1848630 ET mods, are you seeing this? Why do you let your site be trampled down with such despicable and two faced liars.
These were from real trades. For example, I had a stop placed and I was given a 15 pip difference on a spike that only showed up on their system. I did call as soon as the internet was down, and the price I got filled was 10 pip difference from chart. However, I do somewhat agree, you can still make money if you use only mental stops and trade with higher time frames for example you go for 200 pip profits with 100 pip stop losses the spikes will not go that far. Please feel free to post your account details here on this public forum and include all of your information, that will surely prove you are not innocent. I am sure nothing bad will happen after you do that.
Absolutely you can! I trade with a bucketshop myself, although admittedly Oanda weren't as bad as FXCM
lol well of course I say it better, from your quotes above it's pretty obvious you don't even understand the issues, but like I said before these issues probably don't affect you because shops tend to leave consistent losers to their own devices (you openly admitted "I have been a mostly losing trader for about 7 years"). Also you seem to think the market is the same today as it was a year ago! Marketmakers adapt to market conditions the same as traders do.....well some traders anyway! But thanks for taking the time to read my old posts
I'm not saying there aren't price differences between brokers, but everytime I have looked at data feeds from different places, they all have been nearly identical, maybe a pip or 2 off. When you phoned them and then looked at the chart, were you looking at the bid price on the chart? If you were buying, you have to add the spread. If it was GBP/JPY it might be 4-8 pips. Maybe the price went up another pip or 2 by the time you got filled and suddenly you're at 10 pips. You're making it out like you're going to get filled 100 pips off the price. 10 pips on a phone order is no case for saying they screwed you. Using the software and seeing the price beforehand, yes it would be. Here you go, all that slippage and stop hunting really killed me. <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2491005>
So let me get this straight, a year ago FXCM did not hunt stops, but now all of a sudden they do? On 3/21/08 you said: And on 7/1/09 you said: What a difference a year makes. One day your saying itâs rediculous to say that FXCM runs stops, a year later someone else is saying that and suddenly that person doesnât know what theyâre talking about.
