Well, on the bright side, $30/mio USD certainly beats MBT's rate of $50/mio USD. Only IB beats that rate at $20/mio USD, and HotSpot FXr on GBP and EUR pairs with their rate of $30/mio notional.

Which broker has the best conditions for trading gbp/jpy ?

You should add HotSpot FXr to the comparison list, as they have the lowest commissions on GBP pairs of any ECN ($3 per lot, vs $3.90 at IB and $9.70 at MBT). Spreads range 0.5 - 4 pips, typically in line with IB and MBT, possibly a pip tighter on ...

No. GAIN vs EFX is apples & oranges, because GAIN is not an ECN. GAIN is basically a hybrid dealing desk, near-ECN spreads + a commission. If you compare GAIN to actual ECNs (IB, HotSpot, MBT/EFX), you'll notice the spreads are better on the ECNs. ...

Well there goes that theory. Interesting because I still get no connection on Real.

I suspected that. However, if you go to login, select "FXCM Real", and just put in fake info, you don't get an "invalid account" message, it stays as "no connection". Run a netstat -n in cmd prompt, there's no connection ever made, it's offline.

The server doesn't even ping.. I don't see how it could be working for live either. These guys need to get their act together..

And do you have any facts to support this claim? There is no difference. Either a broker is an ECN or a dealing desk. There is no in-between, "STP", "no dealing desk" etc are just marketing shams. If the commission is built into the spread, it's a ...

There goes the neckline Dutch! Wow, 20 pips in a blink!

The latter. Relatively yes. The same trader could execute on an ECN at half the "cost" (1 pip spread vs 3 pip spread, plus $18-50 commission). I don't think anyone trading in 10M clips is crazy enough to use a dealing desk.. They're hopefully on ...

Justin, I noticed that if I pull up USD/ZAR market depth, I get live quotes from what appears to be a singular liquidity provider. Any chances MBT might be adding this pair in the future? (and/or USD/BRL?) thanks
