thanks again, rugger.
money follows caution. i'm still not convinced fxcm is all that bad (or any better or worse than the other brokers) but there's enough bad press to make me cautious. i also don't like the way my favorite chart (their Stratagem chart) freezes and i have to keep restarting it (i liked it for the historical data downloads for quant purposes). i'm also disturbed by the discrepancies between their prices and prices i see elsewhere.

so it looks like i'll soon be moving my stuff to interbankfx.com . been watching them tonight. their charts dont lock up, and i like their whole setup better. plus i can get raw historical data from them easily. just one catch: their hard stops and hard limits auto-convert to market orders during high volatility. so i guess i won't be playing the news anymore LOL
