It appears to me that you are VERY easily mystified.

Really? Are you sure that stupid people only accomodate? It's great to adapt but maybe the smartest are those who were able to keep the circumstances just the way they liked them. And where would the (once upon a time) free world be were it not for ...

The first time I ever contacted a Federal agency it took a year to the month to receive a reply (the reply was to contact my State agency). The second (and last time) I contacted a Federal agency it "only" took 3 to 4 months to receive a reply. A ...

Of course they can/will regulate leverage. The fact that they do so doesn't make it right. They can pay wheat farmers to not grow crops during certain times or pay them extra during other times. They are basically making a judgment call, right or ...

Somewhere along the line you seem to have given up. Shortly after the last time I posted in your thread... your EA was UP over 1,100 pips on about 6 or 7 currency pairs in about one day or so. And yes, that was all lost because the EA did NOT take ...

Gee.... you're right. I don't know my pip from my pippette... I'll have to remember that pipette thing. But if you would have known right away that you were stopped out by a "pippette" rather than a pip... why'd ya' ask in the first place????

If you think it's going to be for the better..... I hope you're right. I simply don't foresee that (better) quite yet.

Skyzer...... I applaud your sentiment but I'm not sure what your remarks have to do with this thread. Perhaps more appropriate threads might be found in "trading discussions".

Brokers who use 5 digits call the last digit a pip. I call it 1/10 of a pip. So if IBFX says 30 pips that is 3 pips to me. The spread is presently 4.3 pips to me which probably means that IBFX wil call it 43 pips. That has been my experience at ...

Update on being babysitted: — from IBFX: "As you may have heard, the US regulatory body Commodity Futures Trade Commission (CFTC) reduced the maximum leverage available for forex traders to 50:1 (2% margin). This regulation applies to all US ...

I have NEVER seen the spread widen that much unless it's a holiday etc., However i guess it all depends on your definition of a pip. 2.8 to me might be 28 to you. I still use 4 digit pricing even on a 5 digit broker. That's just me.
- TradeRunner replied Sep 28, 2010
Are you sure they didn't say 2.8 pips rather than 28 pips. It may be normal for the spread to widen at that time but NOT by that much (spread presently bouncing from 3.1 to 4.5)
