And what kind of risk would that be on your planet?

Low Spread ECN/STP Broker

ECN capitalization is not really an issue since they dont take any risk. They only facilitate bilateral trades, settlement and credit risks rest on the respective prime brokers. Firms like Hotspot or currenex dont hold any client money neither.

Low Spread ECN/STP Broker

I would say the difference between a FX Ecn and an exchange is that the actual order-matching is done by the exchange itself, wheres the typical fx ecn routes orders to LPs and sees if a fill comes back or not(i.e. no last look privileges on an ...

Low Spread ECN/STP Broker

They should not display tighter quotes on demo than on live. I would find that deceiving.

Low Spread ECN/STP Broker

Spreads on the Armada Demo are tighter than on the lmax live platform most of the time. Doesnt look like pure STP to lmax. They either "prettify" the quotefeed or do something else. I dont like it (saying one thing, and then doing something else).

Low Spread ECN/STP Broker

armadamarkets.com Apparently an estonian firm offering MT4 for LMax. They have lower fees than lmax themselfs. Still wont use MT tho. Will be interesting if their bridge works ok. Looks like Oanda and MBT have nothing but trouble ducttaping MT on to ...

Pork: i didnt confirm, but i think its very likely that you will have to pay api fees (or trade more than 250 contracts) for that, if you want to use it for livetrading - since Multicharts connects through their api.

LMAX = revolution?!?

For eur/usd, LMax commission equates to ~0.65 pips. Spread + commission would be between 1.0 to 1.2 pips total most of the time.

They still have lots of messed up historic charts, especially in testapi, but also on production. I wouldn't bother with it, and use other charts instead. In my opinion they should stop to provide historic chart data until they get a good quality ...

Well it certainly wasn't Visualstudio's fault..

All VS express versions work with Oanda as well as MBT apis. The express versions have way less tools available than the full versions, and some minor limitations in the IDE, for example you cant make subfolders in the project-structure. But you can ...

It was 8:30 EST - news time, so there was a big spread on that pair (as usual with Oanda). Its up to 30 pips in this pair. And since MT4 displays the bid price, the ask price was far away. url

OANDA Discussion

logshot: open the java fxtrade platform, and on the gbp/aud chart add study -> priceoverlay -> low ask and low bid. You will see the ask price didnt touch your order. Its still strange.

OANDA Discussion

Multicharts has apparently added LMax now to the supported broker list, so you can connect with an existing permanent MC license w/o paying lmax. Not sure if you need to qualify for lmax api access for that tho. Probably yes.

LMAX = revolution?!?

The negative spread is more than likely not tradeable. As justin has explained, when you send a market-order, MB routes it out to a LP using a limit FOK(fill or kill) order, and the LP would probably decide not to fill an order at a disadvantageous ...
