Dukascopy

haha of course not.

Dukascopy

No problem, but I have to note that it is just what I would consider a massive order, not what the market considers a lot of money. There is no "official" size for that, it's all subjective. For some people $1000 per pip is nothing. For mortals like ...

Dukascopy

Nobody said they are. It sure is. Dukascopy is acting as a middleman between clients, instead of letting them trade directly against each other and against a network of liquidity providers 100% of the time. In your FAQ, you define an ECN as: "An ECN ...

Something like 40 million. My point was that LMAX liquidity is not "thin" as claimed, especially by retail market standards. You can easily fill a 10 mill order within 1 pip slippage. Here's a random screen shot (100 = 1 million). If you consider ...

Interbank liquidity with Oanda? Come back to the real world please. Newsflash: Oanda is a market maker = They make the spreads, and you trade Oanda liquidity, not interbank liquidity.

OANDA Discussion

Until I see proof of something like that, this is just conspiracy theory to me. The behavior you see in the DOM is very normal for any HF environment.

LMAX = revolution?!?

To provide him with the free MC access to his LMAX account I presume. Do you expect they'd just give him the free access just because he said he has a lifetime MC license? PS. I'm assuming you already understand that this is a business ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Sorry no idea what that is, and quick googling did not help. Algorithmic/high frequency traders. It's a good thing as they provide liquidity and tighten the spreads. Some of us are that fast. Some of us are them, lol. I'm not interested in that ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Thanks. I was going to contact them about this myself as I found it weird that they would still charge you if you already have a Multicharts license. Good to know the volume requirements don't apply either.

LMAX = revolution?!?

Thanks for the input supertrader9. I agree with everything except the lmax liquidity being "thin". I find it pretty good unless I'm looking for prime bank standard with massive orders to fill. As for ICMarkets my problem with them is integrity ...

AvaFX, FXOpen, FXCM, Alpari... All crappy brökers for kids. Next... Pepperstone? Seems good, but I can't confirm that due to lack of experience with it. (I can tell it's not that big of a company though.) +1 Use a REAL ecn forex bröker, not some ...

Best Broker for 2012?

I'm somewhat of a scalper. The data I see has to be the data I trade. I don't like to be looking at a feed and trading another feed. It might be okay for others (especially swing traders) but not me. Its charting and its free Java API. Both are ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Yes I know that. But I don't want the Dukascopy feed, only the platform. e.g. JForex charts being fed with LMAX data. Not possible, right?

LMAX = revolution?!?

It's probably not so much paranoia as it is an attempt to limit API access to only serious people, the reason being this: So instead of making it super easy for anyone checking them out to go ahead and start dabbling with the API and pulling ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Not sure what you mean. You can't for example feed JForex with the LMAX feed.

LMAX = revolution?!?

Pathfinder's order entry to LMAX is fine, but its charting is anything but good. I see m.m.m. agrees with this which I think is no coincidence. I wish I could have Dukascopy's platform/API connected to LMAX liquidity. That would be the best ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

I've seen it before, kinda interesting. I would have to try it before I can form an opinion. Unfortunately I don't have time for that right now (I'm currently settling down with LMAX). Maybe some other day. They're probably using the base/starting ...

Dukascopy

I usually take that as an answer in itself.

Dukascopy

That's the thing with Dukascopy. They claim to be this huge ECN and all, but then they have these spreads which just don't look like those of 'true' ECN's. Actually they look more like those of Oanda, which is a market maker that hedges its exposure ...
