The only manual trading I’m doing last 4 weeks is over iPhone as I move all the automated stuff over to jForex/Dukascopy. Everytime I take profit or am about to the iPhone app locks up or crashes with messages to contact the firm or reinstall. I did $520 this morning and that’s only because I spent 4 minutes calling / waiting / identifying / locating the trade. The retail forex environment can be profitable but it’s a shark tank - no matter the broker!
Microlots, zero commissions, tight and fixed spreads - think about it - how do they make money?
I’m convinced institutional commissions with institutional 0 < slippage < ~2 and direct market access over a T1 or fibre line is the only way to go.
The markets are hard enough to tame without all the fun and games.
