Athar: with which US broker did they sign a deal?

LMAX = revolution?!?

Alpari: what is the minimum capitalization requirement according to FSA?

Forex Brokers offering Segregated Accounts

The Mattus bros did some prearranged trades on the CME in illiquid wheat options with each other. Why do that, you ask? Presumably for either attempted tax evasion or money laundring. Maybe not the worst thing that has ever been done in financial ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

I have ever only used the web-platform, so i cant comment on its reliability. But its an additional moving part that can always cause problems, like when Metaquotes pushed out an unannounced update that caused problems at several brokers, including ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Never had such problems. Not using MT4 or an unregulated estonian firm (whose owner has a dodgy regulatory history btw) helps, i suppose.

LMAX = revolution?!?

What 50 pips spike?

LMAX = revolution?!?

You can try SierraChart, they now have lmax data too. Its not free, but they have a free demo period. They operate their own historical data servers.

LMAX = revolution?!?

They have recently introduced a US Crude Oil 'Spot' CFD. It appears to be bilaterally cleared (like FX) instead of with LCH Clearnet, since they don't charge minimum ticket fees with this. Spreads are really tight, between 1 and 2 cents most of the ...

To his dudeness: Commission is usually quoted in $ per million USD traded. FXO <50k deposit is $25/m, >50K is 18/m. Lmax is 25/m and Armada 20. Isn't that the most obvious way to compare fees?

Cheapest TRUE ECN Broker

Dear "dood", you actually got it wrong in the Armada paragraph, then got it (almost) right with lmax, but then continued to fail again at FxOpen. Thats 1 out of 3 from the ones i accidentally happen to know how much they charge. Thanks for your ...

Cheapest TRUE ECN Broker

How could MBT raise spreads if they are STP. To me it looks like they have way less LPs than a few years ago. Now its just a few line of depth and often <10M in the book on each side. Used to be way deeper, 30M and more. I guess its just fewer LPs ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

I have been with both the USA branch and subsequently got transfered to Europe when they established their London office, there was no difference. Except that wire transfers got cheaper, since banks don't charge a fee for wires inside the EU.
