QUOTE(wodenus @ Jul 16 2012, 08:13 PM) Sometimes broker down is also $$$ down, because they illegally tap into client funds when they are in trouble (like the MF Global and Peregrine cases.) Some options:So the risk still exists, even if client funds are segregated. That being the case, how do you manage the risk? 1. Choose ECN or STP. They are interested in your volume of trade as brokers, and not as market makers. 2. With leverage, there is no reason to keep a large credit balance. With-draw what you don't need. So good reason to choose brokers with high leverage, as long as you can control the leverage rather than let the leverage wipe you out. 3. Spread your trades across a number of brokers. For an EA trader, that's just replicating the same EA across various MT4/5 installations. For a manual trader, that could get rather tedious. |

QUOTE(sleepwalker @ Aug 9 2012, 08:38 PM) Anybody trading forex knows how it works as most of us in retail trading are dealing with dealing desk as none of our orders are passed to the market. An increasing number of brokers are claiming they are STP, if not ECN.What percentage, I do not know. If your broker is dealing-desk, you may want to find another. In MT4, apparently the telling sign is you cannot set SL and TP in the same trade order. You need to do a separate SL/TP modify order. This post has been edited by howszat: Aug 11 2012, 02:47 AM |
