What makes you think your funds will not be segregated? Are you a LLC or fund or qualify as 'professional' in any other way?

FXCM Australia fund not segregated - terms of service agreement concern

Blame who ever you feel necessary to blame. I have pretty much zero problems with the webclient, altho i wasnt online during the recent spike. There was one problem with a 15 minute downtime or so months ago. In comparison with other firms, ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Funny that such a thing is even possible in Australia. I always thought ASIC can be taken seriously (although i never really researched it). P.S. after reading the PDF, it appears that this document is from FXCM UK, and your points only affect ...

FXCM Australia fund not segregated - terms of service agreement concern

Not with their MT4 accounts.. P.S. looks like Armada lowered their commission to $20 for direct lmax trading now.

LMAX = revolution?!?

Well in that case they should correct their website, because at the moment it says otherwise.

LMAX = revolution?!?

At the moment Armada is listing standard lmax commissions on their website for direct lmax trading. So i dont entirely see the point of this. Might sign up if they can lower it to $20 and if money sits at lmax. Then again since i already have an ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

CQG is a trading software vendor, not a broker. And why would IB be in another league? You mean beacuse they are a big firm, or because they have superior service? If you dont want 'slow' ticks, dont go with IB. They round to the nearest 0.5 pip ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

You can trade 0.1 (1000 units) on the webplatform, i dont know about FastBroker or MT4.

LMAX = revolution?!?

Yes.. maybe a snapshot based datafeed, something like 100ms or 250ms snapshots, would be more reliable than a tick-by-tick datafeed. Even the CME does aggregation on their data. I think it would be preferable, if its implemented in an intelligent ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

I dont think its reasonable to assume that there are client limit orders sitting every few pips if you watch the marketdepth on navigator. Not even on Eur/Usd pfl book.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Bronco: its probably not the matching engine but the quote servers. I had lagging quotes during fast markets very often but executions were inline with the 'real' market. But that was more than a year ago (on navigator btw). I would recommend ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Bronco: i assume you add those numbers up from multiple executions? The average would be much more interesting than the sum in my opinion. Either just an average on a per trade basis or weighted by pos. size.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

On this screenshot it looks like it lasts for almost 3 hours? I dont want that particular cross, but you can always confirm live quotes on the lmax website.

LMAX = revolution?!?

I have seen "untrusted markets" in the DAX CFD a few times, mostly around news. The whole book goes blank and you cant trade for a few seconds. I think its quite a bad idea to do that, but atleast you know when its likely to happen (news). I have ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Agreeing with Jack - mixing (introducing) broker and moneymanager roles results in a huge conflict of interest and should not be done. There is hardly any IB who provides any real added value over what an individual can get on his own anyways. With ...

Best brokers for introducing brokers(IB)?

I only trade with well-established firms in the UK. The FSCS (bankruptcy compensation fund) being the main reason. An american firm with SIPC protection sounds ok too, but i haven't really researched that. I only leave the money i really need on the ...

How Safe is Your Money?

ybf: yes, probably not much a broker can do about this, if you set up like that. Exchanges do not have this problem - they match orders themselfs instead of sending them out to LPs and see what comes back. The only question is how much leeway MB ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

mediaboy: write a mail to support to make sure this is not a glitch. But stop-orders have been executed at the low/high of a spike in very fast market conditions with MB in the past. JustinLeBlang has explained how this works in the past in this ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

AFAIK, its exactly the same as with lmax directly. Money goes directly to lmax, as do your orders. The only difference is you can use their software (but you could also use the lmax web-platform if you want). They are just an IB, meaning they cannot ...

Anybody With FastBrokers?

Is the current MT4 bridge working well? I am using the web-platform..

LMAX = revolution?!?
