We will surely be on the look out bro!

between fxcm and fxdd, which is more appropriate to risk trading with?

And their trading platform? is it user friendly or permit the use effective trading software signaling aspects? i am asking because some trasing platform use complex platforms that take ages to understand.

cms fx has a platform that also includes the south african rand paired against the dollar ... how about that?

FXCM also has the usd/zar pair but it is a very volatile pair.

I trade 3 pairs currently: eur/usd, gbp/usd and usd/cad. Now the first 2 i mostly use technical analysis relying heavily on those that determine entry positons and exit positions eg MACD. I trade the second pair 80% fundamentals. Canada is the largest exporter of oil to the USA so any change in the price of oil no matter how slight affects this pair. It is my commodity pair. If one does not have the guts to do commodities i suggest this pair.
The most pips confidently in one trade is 100 pips which I achieve (rarely though as my average is 30) by moving my take profit points with a very successful trade. Any profit above 100 pips is rare and I consider myself lucky if I score that. I am considered very conservative by other traders though but that is how I prefer to trade.
