USA25, are you kidding? I work for myself and live in rural Colorado. I have traded forex for years and have been with three brokers. I used to scalp...I used ACM and FXCM and traded full time. When I ran in to execution issues with these platforms I researched their policies fully and found that the business model I described in short in my earlier post is common. Anyone who thinks they can use a technical glitch...i.e, latency in price feed between brokers or latency between brokers and esignal, whatever...to make money in forex is simply fooling themselves and clearly needs to do their homework. Not to mention that method of trading is ill advised for a host of other reasons.

What Mamady seems to be asking is, can you use arbitrage in forex. You cannot. USA25, we seem to agree on that. However, your ideas about my emplyment are funny. I have made it a point to be self employed at any cost for my entire adult life, and would never work for a brokerage. But enough about me....
