IB
Ideal is for currency exchange and IB IdealPro is for currency
trading.
Just add the one you want to your TWS page and select the combo
you want. I use Toronto exchange for Canadian stocks (better prices than using
pinks) and routinely use Ideal to exchange currency to/from C$. With IB you
can be long/short any mix of currencies and or currency futures and
or currency options ... very powerful.
I
use the futures for trading so don't know much about the details of forex
brokerage. I do know that the Ideal spreads are wider ... around 5
pip on C$ however I always split the b/a and seem to get it. IB Ideal
Pro is for pure forex trading and indicated to have spreads of 0.5
to 3 pip.

its a futures contract but a euro on imm is
same euro in fx cash (allowing for the carry)... why would u want to trade
the cash and give up 3 pip spread?
not futures,, just actual
transfer between 3 accounts, euro
yen
and
British pound
