LMAX = revolution?!?

Write them a mail about it, maybe if enough people complain they will change their position. They are convinced they are protecing their clients with this.

LMAX = revolution?!?

JayJonBeach: commissions based on dollar-volume traded is rather standard in spot fx. And wrt to CFDs: some of them have nice spreads, eps. DAX. But you need to be careful around news time. They sometimes stop quoting for a minute or so - this is ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

British Virgin Islands? LMAX certainly isn't picky with their parnters..

LMAX = revolution?!?

And 1.7 is something to write home about?

No disconnects here. Might as well be your ISP. Mine is acting up from time to time too.

FSCS covers up to GBP 85K - not sure what happens to open positions tho. I assume they will get closed at market.

What? "MFGlobal is only small part of MFGlobal" ? Ok..

Do prime brokers accept $500k account?

They are (or were) posting with forum aliases here, and they print "Regulated" in big fat letters on their website, when, in fact, they are not.

Do prime brokers accept $500k account?

Ok.. i still dont know what the issse is exactly, other than Armada being dicks.

Do prime brokers accept $500k account?

I noticed also that marketdepth got deeper than previously, in eur/usd atleast. Total depth now between 15-20 million each side. I assume they have brought in an additional liquidity provider. Index CFDs are problematic tho. While spreads tighted to ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

A "seat lease" or "membership lease" doesnt have anything to do with the pits per se. An exchange member can trade in the pits, but they are a ghost-town nowadays, and for most products dont even exist anymore. It costs a couple of thousand $ per ...

FX Futures via CME

In reality, no. You need to go through a broker to trade on the CME. You can lease an exchange-seat for a fee (become a non-clearing member), and save alot on fees, but that only makes sense for traders who trade really big, and you still have to go ...

FX Futures via CME

No, FSA has nothing to do with it. You are sending your cash to Armada, which is an estonian firm. Unregulated, as far as i can tell, so no protection.

Armada Markets

Yes i have an account there. Thats the reason i would like to know about any legit concerns about this company.

Best Broker for 2012?

So what are your reservations against the company? Agreed, there are a few obviously paid Armada forum posters around (lmax itself doesn't appear to do that). I dont think Coco is a rep in disguise, rather easily excited. Personally i wouldnt send ...

Best Broker for 2012?

Its a nice addition, but spreads aren't really that attractive compared to the better cfd dealers. 2 on Dax, 5 on Dow, 0.8 on S&P. Maybe they get tighter once they go live with this. Also, the way they are doing it is not very Oanda-esque. Its a ...

NFP punt gone wrong?

OANDA Discussion

chiba: you would need to buy 25.000 EUR/USD (for example) for $2.5 per pip PnL, that is correct - but your broker will provide leverage - that means that you only need a fraction of that in margin to keep this position open. About $600 in IBs case. ...

Interactive Brokers - experiences and opinions

Actually, Oanda guarantees it, its explicitly in the agreement i signed. But thats like 5 years ago, maybe its changed. They also did follow through on it - theres a thread on their forums about it. A few accounts got in to a deficit due to XAU ...
