That MMs are neccessary is beside the point. Its implossible to slice this any other way, using such a plugin is nothing less than fraudulent and plainly contradicts every best execution disclosure. The correct way to deal with toxic clients is to ...

Does anyone see their broker on the pdf? #dealerplugins

They were borderlining it with calling themselfs "banc" alone. You cant call yourself a bank without having a banking license.

Banc De Binary Is Shutting Down Its Business

I know they have ticker-plants for datafeeds in the USA, London and SG. And afaik you can switch. The FX execution itself is mosst likely done in a US location.

Do You Think Only Bad Brokers Give Out Bonuses?

No, Sierra connects to a Sierra-server colocated at lmax, and that server uses fix to connect to lmax. So that not each single sierra-customer needs to get a own fix connection to lmax (which can be expensive)

Reputable Broker that trades with NinjaTrader

Thats only true for Lmax, Fxcm and i believe CTS. Sierra has set up a dedicated FIX-Server for those. The advantage is that you dont have to meet very high minimums from these brokers. With Lmax for example you need to do 500 million per month in ...

FCA imposes bonus ban and leverage cap for CFDs

I think it is not illegal, as long as you pay taxes on your gains. The broker might run into troubles with uncle sam tho. The SEC got firms to settle, pay fines and stop servicing american residents on as remote islands as the Seychelles. Generally ...

Need US broker for a large account

Captrader, also german i think. Also more expensive than going with IB directly.

Interactive Brokers - experiences and opinions

Brokerdealers are regulated by the SEC, forex dealers by the NFA, so there are different rules. Still quite silly..

OANDA Discussion

The ban on leveraged FX affects firms that are registered as brokerdealers, like Interactive Brokers for example. Firms registered as forex dealer members like Oanda can offer leverage. Dont ask me for the deeper sense behind this rule, but thats ...

Its ridiculous that they do this AFTER the referendum. This makes no sense..

Huh? Whats the reason for this temporary increase? With this short notice there will be a lot of unhappy clients on Monday.

Easy-Markets New & Innovative No Loss Feature

It will be interesting if they make a difference for lmax, which offers as per Mifid not OTC products but products traded on a relgulated market (MTF). It would be kind of silly if they jump through hoops to get this license and then be treated the ...

Netherlands to ban advertising of binary options and some CFDs

Have you seen the volatility in sterling? It dropped 600 pips in a minute a few day ago. Yesterday before asia session in rockets up 200 pips. So less size and wider spreads is not really a surprise. Bloomberg has an article on how GBP trades like a ...

Reality of FOREX: my experience with brokers + share yours

Thats what i mean, i wouldnt even call it slippage like with a stop order. They dont have to margin call you right on the second. And you are by far not the first one getting a worse price on a margin call than expected. May i ask why you choose to ...

FXCM Discussion

You shouldn't treat a margin call like a stop loss. I have seen this on a few occasions on trading forums, with various other brokers, for example Oanda. Its just not as instant as a stop. With a margin call close out a broker protects itself so ...

FXCM Discussion

Lmax has a segregated trust account for retail client funds, as per FCA regulation. Meaning: 1 account where they put all client money, not 1 account per client. They cannot use these funds for anything else but cover PnL from clients or process ...
