Hi Evolutioncapital,I'm curious why you are considering leaving MB trading, if it is going well there? I've dealt with them myself but didn't care for their CS, and their spreads went crazy during high volatility events compared to another broker I was also using. ThanksJohnIt is the instability of the spread during high volatility that I am having trouble with when using MBtrading. FXCM appears to have a better execution speed and is more liquid. Which other broker are you referring to?

You are right if I was trading on the regular spread based account through mbtrading. However, the 'pay for limits' account works differently. For instance if I scalp 4 pips with 1 lot, I receive a $.70 reimbursement which then lowers the total cost to $.70 for that trade.This conversation actually made me realize a problem with my algorithm when it is trading on the FXCM account. I need to adjust some calculations to take the tighter spread into account. It is opening long trades later than it should because the ask doesn't reach the target price as quickly as mbtrading due to mbt...

The typical EURUSD spread when I'm trading with mbtrading is around 1.1 pips. There is a $.30 commission round trip per lot traded. They have a "pay for limits" system that pays you for making limit orders which reduces the trading costs substantially. Even if I don't close an order in profit, I don't have to pay to close the trade. MBtrading also does not have FIFO.I am also running a demo account now with FXCM with the same algorithm and there is a large difference between results with my mbtrading account. My algorithm itself is profitable with FXCM (using the exact sa...

I guess my comment was a little harsh. From a scalpers perspective, Oanda WILL take you to the woodshed. If you are a swing trader then Oanda's dealing desk isn't as much of an issue. There are better brokers IMO (FXCM, MBtrading.. etc).

Oanda is a bucket shop (market maker). Stay away from them. I like FXCM but their commission is quite expensive if you're a scalper.
