Best ECN

I'm really not at liberty to offer an opinion, at least with regards to trading/execution matters, because it's now been quite some time since I last traded on either a Currenex portal or Dukascopy. For trading the dailies, there's little reason to ...

Currenex platform of LCG , any good?

Saw that too, but it appeared to be centric to FXDD only. Spreads are definitely elevated for a Sunday open, but this is nothing like post-Lehman Sunday. EURUSD back to down to 1-1.5 on the ECNs from 2-3 at the open

Sunday Evening Broker Spreads out of whack?

Unless you're trading several yards each month, I don't know how you'd be getting the rates which would make you consider $30/M r/t "expensive". Please enlighten us to what deal you're referring to. I consider IB's $40 r/t "cheap" compared to some ...

Currenex platform of LCG , any good?

Interesting, thanks for the info. I've been tempted by their spreads, but I only trade off of ECN books. I'm really hesitant to trade size with just a quote (not knowing how much volume the quote is good for). I'm assuming there's very little volume ...

ATC Brokers data feed delayed during news events?

Wow! Did you call them? What currency pair were you trading and what platform was this on (standard, micro, raw/ATC, ActiveTrader)?

ATC Brokers data feed delayed during news events?

Do you recall the rough details? What was the % loss and how long were you in the program?

What's so special about Dukascopy?

I wish that were backed up by real-world examples/first-hand experience..

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

Your concerns are fully warranted. It bears repeating so I will repeat it, the notion of waiting lists and monthly subscription fees, in this industry, is absolutely ridiculous.

Collective FX has LOST its Mojo. (New Feed is WORSE)

Then you've been trying the wrong brokers, period.

Epic thread, don't use fibs personally, but throwing this out there for the heck of it. Bloomberg: Euro May Reach $1.25 After Fibonacci Break: Technical Analysis Breaking the Fibonacci level “suggests that there is downside risk,” said Niall ...

Why 61.8%?

Guess it depends largely on trading style. If you're a high frequency, fully-automated system trader, then latency will be one of your biggest factors, and you're going to want to look at co-location. If your trade holding period is anything over a ...

Commissions of Interactive Brokers

I've used Currenex and am not aware of such an offering. That being said, it's likely that certain prime brokers (via which one would trade on Currenex or EBS) may offer it (especially the bigger primes).

Bandwidth != latency

Correct. Correct, EUR. You originally mentioned EUR/GBP and then said 50k GBP. I assumed you meant EUR, but just in case you really did want the value of 50k GBP, I didn't bother correcting you. Slippage is rare, depends on size, the book is always ...

I use and recommend both IB and MBT.

Waiting lists? Monthly subscription fees? Sounds absolutely ridiculous if you ask me...

Collective FX has LOST its Mojo. (New Feed is WORSE)

Easiest way to calculate their commissions is to think of it as '20 xzy per million xyz traded". So if you bought 1M EUR/GBP, you'd pay 20 EUR commissions (converted to the base currency of the account, for me that would be USD). Per your example, ...

No. ATC is just an introducing broker for FXCM. FXCM will not allow you to trade synthetic pairs or non-lot sized positions.
