IB
Ideal is for currency exchange and IB IdealPro is for currency
trading.
Just
add the one you want to your TWS page and select the combo you want. I use
Toronto exchange for Canadian stocks (better prices than using pinks) and
routinely use Ideal to exchange currency to/from C$. With IB you can be
long/short any mix of currencies and or currency futures and or currency
options ... very powerful.
I use
the futures for trading so don't know much about the details of forex brokerage.
I do know that the Ideal spreads are wider ... around 5 pip on C$
however I always split the b/a and seem to get it. IB Ideal Pro is for
pure forex trading and indicated to have spreads of 0.5 to 3
pip.

trading
its a futures contract but a euro on imm is
same euro in fx cash (allowing for the carry)... why would u want to trade
the cash and give up 3 pip spread?
not futures,, just actual
transfer between 3 accounts, euro
yen
and
British pound
