The slaves loop through the known pairs. If RefreshRates() is true, it has to rescan all the known pairs. If refreshrates() is false, it just resends previously sent data.

It's currently looping through known currency pairs and appending them to a string. That seems to be plenty fast for the reporting script, but not fast enough for the trading script.

My Own Broker Arbitrage

I can see the close being triggered, but by the time the close is executed, the price has moved and a winning trade turns into a loss. I think it's taking too long to send the 'trade close' message during a cycle. There are sometimes areas where I ...

I know a lot of people are wondering why I haven't released a live trading version. There is one main problem that I'm running across. The live trading version opens trades beautifully. It cannot close them well. That's the core of the bugs that I ...

It's my site stevegee, so I can change the receiving code as necessary.

Sending a HTTP POST request?

Someone has suggested changing the headers, but that doesn't seem to work. I do know that the HttpSendRequestA function is returning 'false'

Sending a HTTP POST request?

A broker's liquidity providers' liquidity providers ultimately are interbanks, and they are sometimes overexposed / underexposed to various currencies which causes a run or a rally on that pair. Now because each interbank does not have the same ...

My Own Broker Arbitrage

To a lot of folks in the forex world, arbitrage is using a fast broker's feed to predict a slower broker's feed. That's not what I'm targeting. Arbitrage requires buying in one market, and selling in another simultaneously. In this case, we are ...

How long would it take to send a ~1500 character string? That's what I'm sending from the slaves to the master.

My Own Broker Arbitrage

What I find most bothersome is how some people don't read the instructions they are given. To those who whine that it won't work, build the system and prove me wrong. Stop speculating. I'm here busting my ass trying to prove to myself whether or not ...

My Own Broker Arbitrage

I currently transmit a 1600 character string from each slave. That string has the price, terminal, and trade data. That's about as 'standardized' as I've gotten. In terms of the infrastructure, writing the server in MQL is not ideal, I know. But is ...

It's a start. But before even approaching that, I need to get this prototype working My main problem is making the shared pipes reliable. I haven't quite figured that out yet. Someone privately mentioned to me putting all the slave terminals in ...

What the broker doesn't allow is time-shifting. That is to say, using a faster feed to predict a slower feed. True arbitrage should not affect the broker provided they are truly a broker in that they pass through your orders.

Capital, or relatively lack thereof.

My Own Broker Arbitrage

In terms of equity management, I agree the margin requirements increase significantly, almost to the point where a prime brokerage is more desirable. For the purpose of straight arbitrage, I'm setting up each account so they can individually suffer ...

As you'll note on the thread, you're not the first one to give me such conclusions. The beauty of my youth is that I'm too naive to know it can't be done.
