[ANN] 1Broker.io - Trade forex, indices, stocks and commodities

9-12months ago, you guys have about 1,400ish Traders, now that we have over 5,000 Traders i want to see Lower Spread for Forex, and Higher Limits with Margin, Please.

we are approaching Fast Towards over 6,000 Traders soon.

lets see some Cap increase.

Most markets have a 1 pip spread, which compared to other brokers, is very competitive.
In general, spreads may be a bit wider during lower liquidity hours, such as market opening on Sunday's, and near closes on Friday's.

Increases in leverage and position size is a request we hear a lot from traders, and as we grow we will re-evaluate the current limits, however, at this time I can not provide any specific dates or numbers on this topic.

Realistically what is the minimum i should start a new trade with as i've only managed to gather 0.01 BTC so far.

I've allready used it in the past. i would say it's "what you see is what you get"

While 1broker does not give specific trading advice, as a trader myself, I would suggest you complete a risk vs reward profile for each of your trades.

Personally I would like to see Gold bumped to at least 50x margin. Its a bit low right now and as a result all my gold trading is done over on TW at either 50x or 100x.

yea I agree I would love to see higher leverage on commodities. (still waiting for Bitcoin 50x on 1broker hehe)

But I wouldn't go so far and increase the max. leverage on Forex pair to 500x or something insane like that... In the end mostly bad trader will just get rekt by that asap and never come back. I really like 200x as a limit.

Also some new commodities like Copper, Wheat, Soybeans...

Agreed 200x limit is fine. 100x is max i go with most of the time, 50x now and then.

Does 1Broker have any problems right now? I get no update on any Indices?

I have to say the new Instant execute on the Eur/Usd pair is really awesome!

Hopefully you can add this feature to other pairs as well. A faster refresh of the data feed would be great as well.


When do we get VW and Audi stocks? I might plan to go buy some shares once everything is solved... Would be a great discount to buy for longer term



             

Since you write about that... was it possible to earn a good amount from the VW disaster when it would have been available? I heard there might have been insider trading crashing the price. But still... i wonder what would have been possible with these news for a normal trader.

Is the website mostly earning from trades that went wrong or is there another big income stream?

I only wonder if the spread is enough to earn and traders trading well and bad are averaging out so good then it sounds a bit like gambling. Of course it's the same with fees on other exchanges.

But i only was wondering if that is the main income stream for the site.

Profitable FX trading can be a challenge for some, so yes they do make money off trader's losing trades. But that's the same for any FX broker.

And yes they start with the basic fee via spread, the same as with other FX brokers as well.

A common business model for spread [betting] companies, is to take the opposite position to the trader/customer. If we accept that traditionally 80-90% of trading accounts are #rekt, this makes perfect profitable sense, over time.
I dont know what 1brokers business model is. Just saying.

I know what you mean, some brokers have market makers. Not sure about 1broker. I use mostly Tradingview (FXCM data feed) and it seems to be in line with that. I've yet to get rekt on a position that was counter to what was represented with that feed.

Today i took the time to trade a bit on 1broker. I used tradingview for charting, read in the forex chats and traded eurusd.

I used 0.1 bitcoin only, yes, something i learned the hard way, and wanted to see how i will perform.

I know about resistance/support, candle patterns and so on.

First thing i found is that it is a bit annoying that there is no button to click in order to invest all the bitcoins you have.

Then, the leverage level is sat back everytime i set up a trade.

Besides that, i like the fast updates and the intuitive interface. It looks like you can do what you want there. Not like with other exchanges that have problems with orders. For example at okcoin.com, where you set up a stop loss and a limit order. But you only find out that the stop loss is not getting triggered because the limit order exists and overrides the other order.

Well... trading did not run so well. I had some good trades but i went from 0.1 to 0.580, then to 0.76 again, now back at 0.58 Bitcoin.

I think one of the things working against you is the spread. Market orders mean 11 pips, or so, loss instantly. Something you have to earn back with every trade. A workaround might be to use limit orders but there is the difficulty that the prices on 1broker doesn't match the eurusd-market-prices on tradingview.com. So it's hard to use that.

Well, i hope i get the hang of it. At least i did not lost much money.
