Iam a fxcm customer for 7 yrs and never had a problem with them . I get my money in 48 hrs never a delay. Havent noticed any slippage or manipulation but i dont trade on fundy announcemtent . . So since they are no longer around i am doing the fx futures . HAve been trying the nq and es and get my ass kicked . Question is do most of you just stick to either index future or fx futures or do you do both .

I do FX (6A, 6B, 6C, 6E, 6J, 6N, 6S), Equities (ES, NQ, YM, FDAX, AEX, TF), Bonds (ZB, ZN), Energy (CL, NG), Grains (ZC, ZS), Metals (GC, HG).

You need to ask yourself, what is your edge ?

My edge for every instrument (asset class) is different ...
but i know my edge...

My advice, if you want to trade a new type of instrument/asset class
to some paper trading..

I have my system but i know the characteristic of forex pairs and i do quiet well. . does index future have more manipulation than forex. Its weird how it will retrace through resistance then go straight back up breaking highs with out any stopping till 4pm then retrace back again . Like its forcing out day traders .

My question remains : what is your edge in any of those markets ?

My edge is my system that has buy sell setups with predetermin stop with a 70% win rate . But when a market makes new highs on a day that it looks like the president might be investigated, yellen says interest rate will go up on schedule and the world is all against us . Something is up .

A system that works for FX might not necessary work for equities, grains or interest
they are different animals
