LMAX = revolution?!?

The advantage API vs FIX vs Rest may have one over the other is unlikly to be relevant. Even if you can colocate latency is a few milliseconds(and in the tens of milliseconds if you dont) - several orders of magnitude greater than what you might ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

So you had slippage on a stop-order during economic figures? Is that what your problem with untrusted markets is? Because you are rather nebulous about the exact nature about your issues. Not trying to be a fanboy here, if there are real problems i ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

I dont know either, they certainly dont have problems 'fairly frequently'. Doubt it has anything to do with their pricebands.

LMAX = revolution?!?

Yes i have read that. They are doing this similar to what the CME and other exchanges do. Google CME pricebanding and protection points for further info. Or Xetra volatility breaks. I think its a good idea to have SOPs in place for situations when ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

AFAIK, they segregate client money according to FSA rules, like every other UK broker has to do. Does someone know - do these segregeted client accounts get preferential treatment when a bankruptcy occurs (like american futures accounts)? Or will ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Anyone knows some details about lmax's IB policies? it sounds like these guys get a part of the commissions for introducing clients through them. If their split is high enough - maybe its possible for other IBs to adopt a model where clients can get ...

What about the MC order entry? It appears only the charts/data history is broken at the moment, but the DOM etc should be ok? Personally i can live with the web GUI, even tho there is definateliy room for improvement.

LMAX = revolution?!?

What do you mean, "realible" ? The prices that you see in the level2 display are quoted by Goldman and JPMorgan as well as LMAX customers (unfortunately not that many).

LMAX = revolution?!?

No, it was yesterday evening and lasted about 45 minutes. Chat said they had some sort of liquidity problems, what ever that means, and said that it was possible to trade over the phone (to close positions).

The parent company of all Oanda regional entities is OANDA Corporation, New York - they are not separate. They would all go into bankruptcy, should that ever arise. However, client money in UK, Canada and Asia/Pacific appear still to be relatively ...

OANDA Discussion

Justin: given the current MF Global fiasco, and the not so confidence inspiring PNSN chart and surrounding rumors, i think raises some questions of how a potential Penson bankruptcy would play out for MB and their customers. Especially for FX ...

What is a "trailing TP"?

LMAX = revolution?!?

I think their commission is ok for no volume-requirement. It translates to about 0.7 pips in eur/usd. But it would be nice if they had a volume-tiered scheme. Its hard to justify paying 30%-40% more, if you can get lower commissions.. I actually ...

Oanda does have there pairs (and a few more XAU crosses too).
