i dont do AT. I do 5 minute woodies ZLR in currencies with spread of
<2 pip for 2 hours daily.
Thats all. in terms of spreads, you cannot beat IB. however you have
to trade lots of 25k dollars for you to make the best of it.

looked at the IB Controller and was very excited to use for AT, then
called interactive brokers and the rep on the phone basically told
me, the platform is not the same as typical retail platform and they
don't understand the concept of lots etc..

Ninjatrader COM and Mbtrading COM etc hoping to get something going
for Forex. After seeing your email, I called IB and asked for a Forex
Specialist and a gentleman by the name of Gerald explained in such
detail and it does like look like I can trade Forex through them. The
rep I talked to few weeks ago was misleading. So I am waiting to get
my paper account to test IBC. I wish I had known this earlier, I
wasted several months trying to work out alternatives etc.

trading Forex live or demo via AB using IBC , pls let me know. I am
specifically interested in knowing the symbol mapping and bracket
orders for Forex. Marcin has helped with translate most of the
esignal symbols to broker platform. However there are few that don't
fall into that conversion. I am working around that now.
