Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

Not quite the same, but it looks like an MT4 bug from this angle. I might try and remove the EAs from the experts folder and see if it still loads. Busy for half an hour or so though.

Looking forward to hearing how you get on SC, have open positions on both so a little worrying.

Edit Alpari platform seems stable without the EA.

My ODL seems ok

I'm getting exactly the same message as Plateman (Alpari UK). I'm still on a demo account so I'll leave it for tonight. Hope you manage to get something sorted out.

Both back OK now, may have been maintenance while the market is closed, hope yours is OK as well SC.

Yup, mine OK now too. Wonder what that was all about? Also have 2 open positions, although one has a profit locked in and the other has TP & SLs set.

Edit, guess it must have been someone doing maintenance somewhere.

Theyre dusting for prints (only because you cant dust for vomit..) in USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, AUD/JPY after the cancellation of a single Australian coal cargo acted as the straw that broke the camels back on the notion that Chinas will lead the world out of recession.

Once stops below 93.50 were triggered USD/JPY fell to 92.74 n a flash while EUR/JPY slumped as low as 128.63.

AUD/USD hit an air-pocket which took it from 0.7850 to 0.7765 from which is has struggled to bounce.

You only see moves like this a handful of times a year. Hope you were on the right side.My guess is that Mrs. Watanabe was not

As we write, EUR/USD is falling to fresh lows along with the equity market. Risk is very much out of fashion. EUR/USD trades at 1.3852. 1.3825 is support amid talk of 1.3800 barriers.

435 Trading Credit - Youll be bowled over by this offer!
To celebrate Englands fantastic first innings performance in the first Ashes test, ODL Markets will give you a trading credit (in sterling) to match their 435 runs.

Thats a 435 trading credit when you open a MT4 Forex account.

All you have to do is open an MT4 account with ODL Markets by 12th July 2009

And if 435 doesnt take your fancy, ODL will be running this for the following 4 test matches. So if you think there will be more runs made by the first batting team in any of the remaining tests, then wait and see what happens!

And better still, if England does regain the Ashes, ODL Markets will add an extra 50 worth of trading credits in your account!

All you have to do is open and fund an MT4 Forex account with ODL Markets during one of the days in each of the five test matches* and ODL will put trading credits in your account.

Sounds great. Do they have a good platform, reliability,integrity, all that you could wish for in an on line forex broker and more ?

I use ODL for spreadbet and forex on MT4. Not had a problem and would recommend them.

With the Aussies resuming at 230-1, I think ODL's 50 is looking safe.

:o)

I wonder how fantastic it will look tonight!

jm, your odviously not a scalper! get more requotes than cmc(and worse prices)!

Only thing is, this isn't money they're giving, it simply adds to your leverage, but can never be withdrawn. Pretty pointless imho unless you use every inch of your margin. And they'll remove it after a while. Had the same sort of offer with Alpari, and was quite happy when they took the trading credit back.

Sounds less appealing, thanks for the insight, better the devil you know!

I read today that WinalotTM is number 490 in the top 500 consumer brands. :-)

The branding needs a bit more work yet, DelBoy, but I think you'll find it's actually NUMBER 1 in terms of performance!

Test results here

Message from Alpari:

MetaTrader 4 Micro accounts - server upgrade Sunday 26th July 2009

Due to increasing trade volume, and to maintain the highest quality of execution, we are significantly upgrading our server capacity from Sunday 26th July 2009.

From Sunday 26th July, Alpari (UK) Micro accounts will be managed via two separate, dedicated servers. A proportion of Micro account holders will be managed through the new server and those account holders will require new IP address settings.

The server upgrade will be completed by midnight on Saturday 25th July so that trading can continue without interruption at market open at 23:00 on Sunday 26th July.

All Micro account holders will also receive an email with information regarding new IP settings.



Who does this affect?

Micro accounts requiring action: Account No. 35000 onwards

For these accounts, Micro 2 will be the dedicated server and should be selected from the MetaTrader 4 login drop-down menu.

Micro accounts requiring no action: Account No. 1 34999

Those clients whose Micro accounts require no action can continue to use MetaTrader 4 as normal.

Regarding the new hedging rules. I didnt realise this applied to pending trades as well as live trades. I tried to place buy stop and sell stop at different levels but it wouldnt allow it. This was using IBFX.
