Re: Forex Question
It's all Marketing BS.... what it comes down to is how they treat trading during news events, and how profitable they will allow you to be.
In case you're wondering why they call it a "bucketshop" it's because in the majority of cases for retail spot FX you're trading against yourself and the house.
The trades stay in-house in a "bucket" and aren't necessarily matched at the real market. Sort of like your local bookie, I'd guess. They set the odds (spread), and you play (trade), and they decide how much they want to give you at the end of the day (busted trades, etc...) , essentially.
Nice racket, huh?
