I agree, the discussion culture on this board is quite the bottom of the barrel. In the last few days we had accusations that Oanda is a scam, Citi is a scam and now MBT apparently too. The problem with boards like these is that the discussion gets ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

PrymeTyme: Flashorders? Where do you get these ideas from? Look at their MTF site, there are all the specs/rulebooks and so on published - as well as the FIX specs for LPs. There is nothing sinister there. url BTW, they don't publish traded ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Its not even possible in FIX, since they dont support the OrderCancelReplaceRequest message.. They had a raw, XML-based webapi (which is used by the official frontend i suppose), but it appears its gone now.

On CME you pay 3 to 4 ticks in spread too for 200 contracts (= 25 mil) in eur/usd. I dont have this problem, but i suppose there are more clever ways to execute such size than doing this with 1 click.

My broker increases spread to 4.5pips on EU when trading 25mil. unit

So, in your opinion, whats a fair spread for 20 Mil? Do you think it should be the same as, for example, 100K ?

Apparently LMax volumes are in a up-trend. Still not really a cash-cow, but its heading in the right direction. url

P.S. all participants are listed on your link of the compensation fund, and Armada is not a member.

LMAX = revolution?!?

I doubt the estonian compensation scheme will pay in case of a default of Armada. They are not registered as securities firm/broker. They write in their FAQ that they are a "registered public company in the Republic of Estonia operating under ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Apparently the nfa communicated with a PO box actually owned by Wasendorf to confirm balances, while they thought they were communicting with the bank. And Wasendorf sent them faked statements. How TF is this even possible..

US broker PFGBest freezes funds after founder's suicide attempt

According to a Reuters article it sounds like NFA did alter their procedures to check seg account balances directly with the banks electronically (as opposed to relying on brokers to send them bank statements previously), and PFG did not cooperate. ...

So sunday open is at 4pm EST (new york time), right ?

OANDA Discussion

I would be a bit sceptical about Armadas new additional LPs - how is that supposed to work with an exchange model? Either everyone sees the additional liquidity displayed in the lmax book, or they are routing some orders to their new LPs directly. ...

5pm Friday EST timezone is standard, maybe its the same as 4pm EDT ?

OANDA Discussion

ybj, here is the gist of it: url Its not same day - but the SEPA milestones get tightend up every year, so that it will be, sooner or later. If our ccy wont blow up in our face, that is. At the moment its 2 to 3 business days if i am not mistaken. ...

Whats wrong with a wire-transfer anyways - within the EU its completely free..

LMAX = revolution?!?

LCG for some reason always pushes their currenex over the other platforms. But they can set it up so that you have access to multiple platforms simultanously. Its even possible to enter a trade for example on currenex and exit on hotspot. It will be ...

So at what price did you put your stop, and at what price did it get filled?

LMAX = revolution?!?

I agree that they do this not to protect the clients, but rather to protect the firm. But what are they supposed to do? There is no market for eur/usd during this time - are they supposed to eat the loss (or profit - depending on how their clients ...
