You cant judge liquidity from MT4. You know, it lacks a marketdepth display. As for lmax during news, they have live-prices on their website - you can check that yoursefl.

LMAX = revolution?!?

EuroFX on CME currently needs $3300 for an overnight position per contract, roughly 38:1 and futures brokers are not allowed to provide lower margins than the exchange minimum. Some provide lower margins intraday, up to 250:1 tho.

Any brokers offering high leverage accounts to US citizens?

retty: because lmax doesn't publish times&sales data (except on Reuters, if im not mistaken), its hard to tell how often that would happen. But i think your expectations are unrealistic. LMax is still rather small, according to their interviews they ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Any progress with your NFA case yet? The allegations are rather disturbing..

FXDirectDealer (FXDD) Discussion

Ok false alarm, according to chat its just a website fubar and they will fix it. Minimum is still 10K. I just figured it would make sense, with the interviews they gave, and seeing that they are basically in competition with their biggest clients ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Yes, its still in the FAQ but they deleted the "classic" and "premium" account pages.

LMAX = revolution?!?

Minimum to open with LMax directly is now 250K. I think its possible that they ditch servicing retail all together - since - according to their interviews - doesn't bring in much business anyways, and carries a large regulatory overhead/cost. That ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Unfortunately not via MT4, nor via Java/Net api. But since they are regulated as an MTF, they must comply with Mifid post-trade transparancy rules and have to publish any trades carried out on LMax in realtime. They do so via FIX and also on ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Spiboy: is there any reason in particular you trade on this collection of single bank platforms, as opposed to one of the multibank platforms like Hotspot, or others? It seems to me, all of those (and more) quote their prices on the more popular ...

Reliable Broker

Interesting interview. Unfortunately i dont have a subscription to read the full article. There are also 2 articles linked on the lmax website in the press-section. To me it sounds alot like they make by far the most business by providing liquidity ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

I know some people who work for banks - and they are not allowed to trade a personal account, or atleast they need to clear every trade with compliance beforehand, which is a major PITA, so hardly anyone does it. Maybe its different for fx brokers.

FXCM Discussion

So FXCM employees are allowed to trade? And compliance dept. has no problem with that?

FXCM Discussion

retty: it looks the same on the real platform. That are prices quotes by liquidity providers (aka banks), who quote 'round' quantities in quarter, half and full millions. Sometimes you can see a small order go through, or 'odd' quantities, that ...

Jason: according to the latest cftc report, Fxcm has an influx of +$112 million of retail forex obligations. Is this due to some merger or is this due to a lot of new clients signing up?

FXCM Discussion

They introduced Currenex accounts to FXDD in the past, if i remember correctly.

FastBrokers

I believe 'Classic' has wider spreads and no commission.

LMAX = revolution?!?

NoLuck: is that with a 'Classic' or 'Exchange' account?

LMAX = revolution?!?

Jason: does Lucid provide liquidity on the Activetrader platform?
