haha.. interesting that you said that, I did try to market my website but I was trying to promote trading psychology (i'm a blogger who is trying to write ebooks to sell). however, I realise that retail traders (as oppose to institutional traders) don't really care about trading psychology, so I'm slowly giving up on trying to stop ppl from gambling.. when they see the promo posts, they all get excited. oh well.. such is life

anyway, I'm using FXCM and Axitrader.

As I mentioned on the other post, FXCM charges USD7 per 100k lot, Axi charges about AUD$7 per 100k lot. AUDUSD is near-ish parity, so they are not too much diff. I know for certain that FXCM is a safe broker (they are pretty big, i THINK they are listed in US stock exchange and they also own http://www.dailyfx.com/). Axi is an Australian regulated broker, they keep their money mainly in HSBC, so, again, pretty safe.

if you're really keen to open with them, I have a promo code where I can get cashback, happy to split the money. PM me if you're interested. And NO, I don't work for either of them but this is my marketing for today.. lol..

FX Open seem to have good rates (see link) but not sure what their commission is and don't know their background, so can't comment.

Hope that helps.

I think I understand now but I also think there's some gap in what you're saying.

AdmiralMarkets is actually an ECN account too. However, there are 2 types of ECN account

- raw + spread (var commission)
- raw + commission (fix commission)

if you are on the standard account, you are paying a variable commission. This is a lot more transparent because you can see the spread and you know what you're paying. nonetheless, I have to agree with you, fix commission is less transparent and it can be quite annoying if you don't understand.

anyway, just sharing my view.

You can try pepperstone ecn. I'm using now and so far very happy with them. Their spread among the lowest you can get

guys how do you confirm trendline break? example like this one, confirm downtrend start?


oh btw this broker quite nice la the spread, macam ecn. trading using the free 8$ bonus now. lol cheapskate. sorry guys, not advertising just wanna share.

Price is looking better this week so far, good start, if it breaks last weeks high around 1.28 we can easily go back to 1.30 area after that.. So far one higher low, however two would give a better conviction. On the other hand if it finds weakness at 1.28 to 1.2830 area then it is possible for a fall and retest of 1.2650.. More likely it will keep going up though if you ask me, technical wise and fundamentally.. Euro has issues, but the fiscal cliff is going to be on the spotlight very soon.. No matter what the US does it will negatively effect them for a while.. whether raising taxes or what not if you ask me.. The topics on this massive debt is going to have many not investing..I mean would you invest in US just before a decision on a debt that is that big..? The US index may actually crash big time.. I dont think many would invest at all.. Big investors should be the same.. way too risky.. But i guess we will all see soon enough...

Erm..just a noob opinion..

Not must be newcomer... it depends

you never use, you never know.

i tried before,
unfortunately its a yo-yo result.
there was one time when i had a DD of -1500pips??
while the target only 10pips!

so you have to carefully selct your provider..
and closely monitor thier trading activities.
If they stated or normally take SL of 50pips, make sure they follow..and if they dont..something is wrong.
Uncopy them and move on..

ps:
i would appreciate if you can visit my My Webpage as well..who knows you might find something usefull.

regards
