why majorities of forex broker trade 0.1 lot ,...0.2 lot?

anyone can recommend a broker that allow to trade 0.1 lot, 0.13 lot, 0.16 lot and so on? just like marketiva?but i dun like marketiva.

oh i am using interbank MT4, so its GMT.

BTW what is the spread for interbankfx? is it always stay put at 3 pips for USD?

i plan to trade with interbankfx with real account sometime in near future so what is the pip spread for USD/CAd and USD/CHF? i heard some broker had higher spread during major news and weekends, is that true?

Just a reminder, Never Short EU unless u are looking for a short term scalping.

the US economy is as bad as it can be. The news numbers are faking the economy it didnt tell the real story behind. The Fed is lying.

I'm still holding my Eu long positions on a swing basics.

patience is the key to success. 

e/u up trend 

Im predicting the NFP numbers whould be around 130k and the previous number of 88k would be revised to above 110k.

NFP is famous for revisions. So be careful.

This would give dollar the strength for some time.

Even ringgit has been lower this 2 weeks against the dollar.

PS: this is only my views. thank you.

Its been a crazy friday night for me...

NFP and ISM are very very volatile, they rarely come out the same day, heck even the same week x_X

what i dont understand is, USD should strengthen greatly but it didnt  . anyway, was lucky to get a total of 70 pips on the 2 dips and 25 on the top.

you guys should check this service out http://www.tradethenews.com

the news came out 15sec faster then the market movement wey!

anyway, i think that since good news for USD didnt affect it much this past 2 weeks, when the bad news comes out, does it mean 2x movement for USD bearish?

1.) As far as i know, there is NO COMPANY allows you to open an account with 50 bucks, minimum is 100 dollar. which is NorthFinance.

2.) Holding the pair has interest rate, it is called swap rates. look here for more info http://www.ac-markets.com/en/online-forex/...t-positions.asp

spread ALWAYS determined by broker, client cannot do anything. unless you have few million dollar account you can negotiate spreads with them, but usually big player trading directly from bank or exclusive platform access which has lower spread than normal retail forex company.

That means spread is the amount i need to pay for each trade. But, still nobody answers my third question. I did made an example there. Ok. I'll write it again here.

I bought 2 lots when the spread is 2pips and I sold that lot when the spread is at 3 pips(assuming the spread is not constant). So, how much spread am I paying to the broker?

Added on June 3, 2007, 4:22 pmOps.. Didn't saw the words in the picture. I thought you were telling others about the current market trend. Lol..

SO, the conclusion is I'm ONLY paying the spread the moment i made a 'buy' in the market. How it's going to be calculated for 1000 units? They will charge the spread for each unit? That would mean a total of 2000 pips I need to pay the broker when I start trading in the market.(if the spread is 2pips)
Am I correct?
