I think FXCM should make changes to their "VPS" service such that only 1 user is allocated per server. I would like the other guy on my VPS kicked off please.

There hasn't been much mention of one of the essential things in life: food. You have to make sure that you will like the food before even thinking of living there, or that the food that you like will be available there. I would choose Japan, mainly ...

Best place in the world to trade from?

If you read the GoMarkets Discussion thread (in which I participated) you would discover that they only use Currenex for the price feed. Execution is at some other liquidity provider. That is a huge difference.

Currenex for Retail Clients...

There must be a number of ways to quantitatively compare performance, including my idea of counting the number of iterations per second in a continuous loop. I know that it's not good to share resources with another user, but I want to see some ...

BarrySDCA, your statements about FXCM's "VPS" are valid. The system does indeed appear to be shared between two users. The other user can be seen by just browsing to "C:\Documents and Settings" in Windows Explorer. You can see your own user name ...

I think it's more difficult to get high leverage with a large deposit. Some brokers (e.g. GoMarkets) forbid high leverage for large deposits.

Wanted: Good MT4 Broker Offering 400:1 Leverage

Based on Maxey's experience, I would strongly avoid FX Open, unless there is clear evidence that they have become good.

Wanted: Good MT4 Broker Offering 400:1 Leverage

Those numbers are not connection speed. I think it's amount of data downloaded and uploaded.

Any broker with ECN access and credit card deposit/withdraw?

Which Currenex brokers have minimum trade size <= 10K of base currency? I know Alpari Direct & Alpari Direct Pro and PFGBest Currenex do, but who else? Most seem to have set their minimum to 100K of base currency.

There is also a comparison table of the pro accounts here: url However it still is not clear what the exact differences are between the Direct and Direct Pro accounts.

What's up with their share price? I just visited their web site and they show a chart of the company's downwards sloping share price, in the opposite direction to the S&P 500. Are they losing money?

Currenex platform of LCG , any good?

As others have pointed out, there can be a lot of things on the broker's side (such as location of liquidity provider(s)) that can add to latency, and you may never get to know exactly what. All we can do is test brokers, recording slippage of every ...

ECNs vs. Slippage

Assuming that this is a real offer, please tell me more.

Beware of CAYA

If the price was not valid then the broker should not have accepted and executed the order in the first place. The broker should have requoted or slipped it. If a broker accepts and executes a trader's order, then logically it should mean that the ...

Beware of CAYA

Yeah that's my girl Yuliya; jealous? No, I'm just kidding. If you did a search for my username on the forums there you'll see that I (constructively) criticize their web site. Please stay on topic. This thread is not about how shit Forex Peace ...

Beware of CAYA

Coverage of the forex marketplace. They list a large number of forex products and services and provide the ability for users to rate and comment on any of them. That would be good but until then... Elite trader has a high focus on futures and ...

Beware of CAYA

This web site and TSD are discussion forums and do not provide quantitative ratings/rankings nor do they have the market coverage that Forex Peace Army has. However untrustworthy Forex Peace Army is, it remains the primary benchmark until something ...

Beware of CAYA

I know what you mean. The guy behind the site, Felix, has a shady past. But can you suggest anything better than Forex Peace Army? I think it's the most established and well-known reference available, despite the fact that a lot of the services that ...

Beware of CAYA

Yes. It's a stupid question.
