Great post Seeking Light, I share all of your comments. Just something else to add, another thing I miss from Jacko's more participatory days in this thread, were specifically his fundamental discussions about the EUR/USD the dollar itself. He ...

“This measure was taken for customer protection and market transparency,” said Larry Dyekman, the futures association’s director of communications. “We feel that other methods of offsetting trades would mislead some customers into thinking their ...

NFA New Rule Not allowing stop and limit orders

Couldn't have said it better myself. It's a shame.. I've seen a lot of other great threads fall by the wayside over the years too, I guess it's inevitable.

Looks like they're listening in, # of LPs and market depth just tripled from an hour ago.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Had the same observation and brought it up in this thread a few weeks ago. Check back a few pages to see Justin's reply.. I agree, it's not really a pleasant sign to see only 3 LPs quoting the majors during active market hours and 10M deep on each ...

Your impression is a little off. All those EAs are giving the professionals a bigger bonus.

NFA New Rule Not allowing stop and limit orders

Justin, Thanks for getting back to me, that does clear up a few things. I guess the one question I have is whether MBT/TDFX is limiting the number of displayed vendors (for bandwidth or other reasons). I know of other shops that do this. Regardless ...

Justin, Even though you oddly ignored my last two inquiries, I'd like to congratulate you on your 1000th post.

That's QuoteTracker, a 3rd party charting/trading front-end that works with MBT and other brokers.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Justin, Do you know why the displayed number of liquidity providers changes so often from day to day? Some days upwards of 8-10 separate LPs are shown quoting, then at other times (like right now) only 2 are displayed. ex: image Are there more LPs ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

They can be inconclusive at times, but I don't see how for the reason you stated. A short cover implies a flat position, these indicators show open positions. From time to time. It's several days delayed and moves much more slowly than other ...

Might want to take a larger sampling size than just this thread. Two different sentiment indicators both show retail traders as net short EUR/USD (1, 2).

I just figured they round up/down to their advantage and shave off the fractions for themselves (a la Superman 3, Office Space, etc). This is in addition to the book they're running. How else would they be offering $18/M?

Dukascopy - Good or Bad

A lowering of their minimum funding capital requirements I would deem as a particularly bad sign. They've always seemed like a retail shop in an institutional shop's clothing and this is yet further proof of that.

Dukascopy - Good or Bad

Demo is not based upon live data, just simulated/delayed data to test the platform.

Which Broker?? IB TS MBT ???

Well they bought HotSpot FXr and a couple of other shops, that could perhaps partially explain it.

Dukascopy - Good or Bad

Fat, I'm not sure if you're up for suggestions on MT5, but I have a very important one: Allow the end user to adjust the chart timezone I have no idea why this option was never integrated into previous MT candidates, as it's a fairly basic feature ...

Exactly. As I said, absurd.

Trading for a living with a Market Maker

[/LIST] Do you realize how ridiculously absurd you sound? How can you possibly advocate trading with a market maker, and then go on to warn about things such as "brokers putting a stop to you", "being on the broker's radar", "don't scalp", etc? Why ...
