They have the lowest commissions of any retail ECN, the best swaps too, but need to fix their cross-rate margins (and the 2-hour daily kiwi closure). However, I agree FXCM at #2 doesn't make any sense. By virtue of even listing dealing desks, the ...

Is Interactive Brokers really #1?

Justin, Where was the language on this? I've reviewed the forex section and didn't notice that stipulation.. url Also, while on the subject of regulation, what's your take on this? (7) prohibiting retail customers from acting as counterparties to ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Mexican peso is already supported, is it not? Justin, the Brazilian real is on the top of my list. For whatever reason, it's very difficult to find this pair offered anywhere. MF UK has it on their Currenex, however margins are 30% (3:1).

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Interesting insight! This is actually a question I've pondered before. Given that EBS and Reuters constitute the largest FX networks by volume (as far as I'm aware), one would assume that any price discovery in the interbank market is generally ...

Are you kidding? 10-20M is a drop in the bucket, there's no market impact from an order that small. You might be confusing your broker's limited liquidity (and the price data therein) with that of the interbank market. It takes exponentially more ...

Interesting, thanks for sharing your insight. Are you still with ManFX in Chicago for CNX?

Interbank Spot: "Bank Reversals" Make it a Fools Game???

Huge reversal day indeed, 4% range on NZD/JPY!

Why did you choose CNX over HSFXi? I know you mentioned depth on FXi being an issue in an earlier thread, but I don't think that's the case anymore (judging from the reviews of others, and my own experience on live CNX feeds vs the FXi demo feed). ...

Interbank Spot: "Bank Reversals" Make it a Fools Game???

Very big reversal in NZD/JPY, nearly fully retraced a 2.5% dive since 5pm. Looks like the huge downspike busted the stops of a lot of Asian carry traders (one firm showed 98% net long NZD/JPY as of yesterday). I think we might've finally hit a ...

There are only 3 retail ECNs: IB, HotSpot FX, and MBT. ATCBrokers uses HotSpot FX, ATC simply provides the MT4 gateway and charges a slightly higher commission. No ECN has good charting. Charting is best done by a 3rd party app (QuoteTracker, Ensign ...

Dutch buddy how ya doing? I've been having a good summer so far here in the city. Are you still in town? Speaking of cities, one of my good friends just landed a trading job in Amsterdam, so I look forward to visiting the Netherlands as often as I ...

Congrats on the short trade. Yes, your assumption is correct, my positions have in fact changed since the post you quoted from 3 months ago! The 12-month TL break was as golden of a sell/short signal as we'll ever get in this game. ...

Most prime brokers generally keep leverage around 2-4% for very large balances, but 1% (1:100) is available with no balance cap through a couple primes and many retail outfits.

Is this true? Any current members care to comment? Hard to believe they're only at breakeven after the huge rally in the first half..
