I disagree.... the structure now does pass the fee onto the average user... The fee structure before this change did exactly what you are arguing... They have now eliminated the "above 100 messages per day per symbol" language, under which non HFT ...

Yeah, I thought of that too... You send your entry order in the smallest tradable lot size (1000) and then manage the order in larger chunks. This reminds me of an airline.... we have the lowest fare in town, but that's because we break up the ...

Close on a daily basis above chennel Bullish — 1.2740/50 would have been an ideal measured target for the correction from 3173 to have ended, near the 38.2 fib retrace of the entire move up from July lows. The slowing momentum, 200 DMA bounce, ...

Yes that is exactly what they are trying to do, and I have no problem with charging true HFT traders something as they tax the resources more... ...

It doesn't go into effect until November 1.... so you have some time to shop other brokers

It isn't just changing... you can easily rack up 20 messages in the course of one trade ..... The fee is not scaled to order size.... worst case scenario.... 1000 unit EURUSD, 20 messages per trade is .10 cents.... that's a full pip in extra ...

Changed my mind and just booked profit on second half.... 2840... this is the half hour we'll get some volatility as Europeans square their books, and with Spain's big announcement tomorrow, I don't want any risk exposure... I worked enough today

Euro/Dollar

I just booked profit on half the position, SL to BE on other half. I closed at 2840... 10 hours for a lousy 35 pips... I fear the bounce outta here will be stronger next time around.... Europe closes in 1 hour... there are plenty of entries offered ...

Euro/Dollar

Look at this S&P plunging and we can't get EURUSD to budge out of 2850-- that's because BIS is sitting there buying any supply --- No wonder Zero Hedge calls this an excuse for a market -- Love it though.... frustrating today....

Euro/Dollar

TP moved up slightly to 2835, 1 pip over S2... fighting BIS bidding on way down.... same will give big bounce to fade later.

Euro/Dollar

We have traded as low as 2835, where the first buy orders probably profit taking related sat... S&P found some strong support and now puts in a couple reversal signal candles.... I don't like the bounce all the way into the 50's, but will just have ...

Euro/Dollar

Check -- stops sub 2840 popped... 200 DMA in sight.... TP set just ahead at 2830.... planning on fading the likely bounce to reenter higher depending on order flow. 200DMA and 21 DMA just below should bring out some buyers... especially middle ...

Euro/Dollar

Check... really need to pop those stops.....

How long can Rajoy hold out.... more importantly... will the market start to price back in a Spanish bailout request as bond yields force Rajoy's hand?

Euro/Dollar

Spanish Ten year trade 5.995% -- keeps edging higher -- Margins will be increased if spread reaches 450 basis points which will make the yield go even higher.... We are just under that level now... Some may be betting that + 6% yield will force ...

Euro/Dollar

IFR now reports French demand (Middle Eastern Fund behind order) drives Euro off lows, Asian Central bank fades in the 2860's.... BIS now seen selling into current high's... I thought that was an overly strong bounce from sub 2850.... very ...

Euro/Dollar

This very strong V shaped recovery of US stocks (S&P 500 CFD data) is helping EURUSD... fundies still suck... can carry EURUSD only so far....

Euro/Dollar

Good Italian auction result -- they were just 6 mos bills... will lighten the mood short term.... US stocks on the rebound under pinning the EURUSD rise more important...

Euro/Dollar

Italian Bond auction results due shortly -- a manipulated good auction result could help form a lower high -- Spanish Ten Year more important.
