No. I was using the total commission paid, not per side. You don't add anything to the spread, this was just to measure the commission cost (in $'s) as if it was a pip value (how many pips in profit you must make before the cost of commission has ...

Pip value. Simple example: Say you're trading EUR/USD on an USD denominated account. The quote currency of the pair is USD (the 2nd currency in a pair is the quote currency, with the first being the 'base', look up quote currency in google for more ...

I was more referring for everyone's benefit (general readers), not quite my own. I also feel I drew a line in the sand when it comes to what's constructive vs what's just needless banter. Can't really say much more to it, though I agree that there ...

I actually don't mind if people pop in here quickly to say something like "is execution down for you guys too?" ..as others can chime in quickly to help them figure out what's up (like, if it is across the board and they need to contact Pepper, or ...

Ok, common guys, let's not get away from the theme here: Problem comes up. It's brought to the thread's attention. Others speak up and say they are not having the same issue (helping you isolate where the problem is taking place.) User does the ...

Twee told me via email when I asked about it. They were battling [the broker that shall not be named] spammers for a while and when no spammer could get a thread for said broker without being commercialized, they came into the LMAX thread for ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Primi, I don't have any executions on my Standard account in the last few days (paused my EAs for some reworking of their code,) but when I was last observing execution it was pretty instant, within a second if not faster. Around the same speed as ...

On Growing the Account: My goal is to grow the account to be many times the size it is now (which is really nothing as it stands.) My plan is to treat the account like another 'trade' in my overall manual portfolio. I will add to winners if ...

Ok, so the EA has been off for the last week for a few reasons: Mainly, since I wanted to do a review and cleanup of my code / strategy after the issue with a news triggered hedge position that became unintentional risk from the week before last... ...

Oh, I think I had you mixed up with another member. I thought you were the guy who was just boasting about 5+ years of experience and put some noob down for not knowing some of the basics, so I was going to jump on your post in a 'taste of your own ...

To anyone suggesting TOS.. the paper accounts you get (demos) only have real time charting. All depth and price quotes are delayed. That wouldn't help OP at all with what he wants. Amp Clearing has free demos that expire every ~30 days, and a policy ...

This is partly why I'm not crazy about using a phone / tablet with a mobile internet connection as a primary execution platform. Or a laptop with a mobile internet stick for that matter. A 3G mobile internet connection adds 3-400ms in ...

Are you seriously judging a broker's execution quality by their demo server? How long have you been in this game? :/

I haven't noticed any issues with the latest java myself.. but I'm using the fxTrade Desktop Preview setup now instead of the web launched version. For the longest while I avoided using the Preview version in case there's major bugs that affect my ...

Yes, sounds like latency.. and "normal" shouldn't be taking that long. I faced a few delays a while back and worked with support to figure out what was going on, one thing Pepper support did for me was pull up the server log for my tickets to show ...
