Michael, i am curious, have you archieved any profits with this method? I think your strategy is sound, but i somehow doubt the viability to implement it for retail traders (internet latency for example). Another thing is, banks hate to be picked off. I know its possible on Currenex that a bank can ...

At Interactive Brokers the minimum deal-size is 25000 units, above that you can trade at odd lot sizes (even in 1 unit increments if you want). The commission is 0.2 pip of your position, but USD 2.5 minimum per trade.
