I see what your point is, that the charts appear the same so no fuss, but whats the chart tick volume? How many prices in bid and ask are coming through? At GoM the tick volume for that period was a low of 36 to a high of 67, with an average of ...

This is idea of tick filtering, of not passing through all the ticks that 'could be' passed through, is something I've wondered about recently. I have demo accounts with other brokers and run side by side with a real GoM account, and I have to say, ...

Could not the same be said about any platform? I mean, even if a platform had no possible option to adjust spreads/execution/slippage, couldn't the broker simply manipulate the price feed that goes into the platform?

MDP is not made for large accounts, it requires liquidity at every price level that there is an ea signal, take this into consideration: (If anything is wrong please correct) Average daily fx volume is about 4trillion, spot fx takes up about ...

GoMarkets Discussion

Hold on, I didn't say that I wouldn't want a broker banning an ea, like you I'd actually prefer it because of the problems they create for everyone else, namely in terms of liquidity and execution time, an lp may have to cover themselves and in ...

Yes...after over 180 pages of a thread using the same core indicators, thank you for shedding light that these indicators repaint and the last 188 pages of activity are useless

Unless the lp is offsetting the risk of taking the trades by hedging them, and wants to maintain execution speed but has to compromise increased risk by increasing spreads for the rest of day or two. Going by Chris's words that's what happened last ...

GoMarkets Discussion

right now spreads are .9-2p higher than the norm...hmm, what the heck is with this lp, surely popular eas aren't stuffing them up again

GoMarkets Discussion

Everybody already did lose out because of MDP, not because of a broker intentionally increasing execution time. I read a transcript of the founder of Pepperstone FX that talked about the problems some EAs can cause by flooding the market with an ...

Turns out my first post about the better spreads yesterday wasn't 'too soon', just soon lol. Across the majors the spreads are consistently keeping in par with other brokers.

GoMarkets Discussion

Hi Chris, either I can't find it or it wasn't mentioned, for curiosity's sake could you mention which lp you partnered with? And any update on the move to ecn with depth to mt4 and mt5?

GoMarkets Discussion

lol, FPA, where disgruntled masses bleed their hearts out. Every single broker will encounter some sort of scam review, god help them if they got lots of account holders, heaps of opportunity to get a few stuff ups and a scam review. Anyway, doesn't ...

Don't see any regulation? Sometimes you do have to look for it, just a click away under 'About Instaforex' tab. They're a member of RAFMM since 2008 - Russian Association of Financial Market Members. Though to be fair, remaining concern is left with ...

GoMarkets Discussion

When it comes to brokers, can anyone that's not on a regulatory board really 'verify' anything concerning intervention? I don't have an account with them, they don't have mt4. But they've been around since 1989 and have always been doing well ...

CMC Markets, EUR/USD 0.7 pips spread?

They keep the spreads tight? I'm looking at their homepage, the spreads they show for the live pro ecn account is about.5pip better than GoM spreads, then add .8pip commission, it turns out worse. Doesn't seem to be that good scalping. Are the ...

GoMarkets Discussion

Impressive, GoM spreads have improved, the minute avg on fxintel across the majors, GoM is lower in all but Cad and Aud than Vantagefx, I'm surprised there hasn't been any posts about this clear improvement.

GoMarkets Discussion

...That's silly, you really think commission would equate to a 2pip markup? Their commission tables are based off US 1million traded, not a standard lot of 100k.

Looking for Pro brokers

Without re-checking, I'm pretty sure that Dukascopy (the EU branch) meets those criteria, and has the largest liquidity I've ever seen advertised at 100-200million at each level.

Looking for Pro brokers

You seriously think GoM has been a market maker all this time? You say you're reading between Chris's lines, so what have you inferred to think they're a MM? And you're saying that concerning slippage, gapping and execution time, a MM would become ...

This is some pretty interesting stuff...thanks a lot!
