A basic stats course would make it clear how the sample you'd get from this forum wouldn't be statistically relevant. Look up the CFTC survey number as submitted by brokers... ~30-40% are profitable at any given time but that number is skewed since ...

90% of traders lose money! True or False?

You won't have any issues at all trading 4h charts and swing trading. Execution speed is excellent for an STP/ECN, no problems there at all. The only issue lately was the odd disconnect a couple of times a day that lasts for ~1 minute when it ...

Alpha-Bet mentioned this earlier, but I too have now heard they will be tossing some more hardware in their server farm to help with all the additional load and disconnects. New servers will be added to the cluster on March 3rd and they've been ...

...you were serious? Now I feel bad. :/ To illustrate the comedy I found in your post: Here we have two 5 minute charts. One is a a chart where I've set the colour scheme to blacken out the candles and applied a 1 period EMA indicator. The other ...

I think we have a candidate for epic troll post of the year. (edit, I'm not even making fun of the guy... I just found this so indirectly funny that I couldn't tell if he was serious or not.)

Razor account? What's the point? Price feed is from Integral, and Integral won't see stop orders, Pepper's server will just pass the market execution of your stop to their LP's once hit and the price feed is independent of this (that is to say, ...

Pepperstone Forex

You had a stop loss order in place right? So long as the order was there and not executed properly because of the issue, Pepperstone has been great with me when it comes to fixing the slippage caused by their system downtime. But like I (and a few ...

fantastic! Is there any way to get this to work with Active Trader? Since it appears that the extension needs to be installed within the desktop app and last I checked AT was a web platform only.

;P What matters is getting the platform rock solid.. it's sooo close, we've seen vast improvements in the past, and it seems they are serious about being a player in the brokerage market (not just with their growth and lower total costs, but they've ...

I'm hearing from a few sources now on this, and it seems the marketing term "edge" is being used. Perhaps the old name was just some overlap.. But in any case, we'll just wait and see.. As I said before, it will only matter if the disconnects are ...

Quick question Jason, is there any way to export live prices from TS2 for use in Excel or another application such as it can be done in MT4 (DDE)? I'd just use MT4 but there's a difference in pip markup.. plus I'd like to get a feed from Active ...

Not saying this is Pepperstone's case, but... A lot of new brokers have to start using services like BT or Integral's hosted solutions (not their feed, which is used by many huge brokers, but their ground-up liquidity and tech service,) since going ...

I'm hearing rumors they're looking at a new way of connecting direct to banks, skipping Integral's ECN grid, which will provide better uptime... This might explain why they've removed the Integral info from their site recently. Then I noticed this ...

Announcement about the disconnections?

Pepperstone Forex

Yeah, I see the data gap too... If any of your trades were affected (ie, limit orders not triggered) make sure to contacts Pepperstone's support team, they've been very fair about that sorta thing for me in the past.

And then while reading another thread about another broker: *cough*

Pepperstone Forex

Here, since I said in the other thread that someone emailed them, I'll quote it for you. This is aside from speaking with Pepperstone about it myself and confirming it to me via chat session...

Pepperstone Forex

I never implied that at all... I said they use Integral to route to their LPs as well as for a price feed.

Pepperstone Forex

See my reply on that other thread. But yes, they use Integral for their price feed and routing to LPs. Pop on a live chat with Pepper and they'll confirm this.

Pepperstone Forex

It was never listed on the sites (keep in mind, a lot of the brokers listed use one of Integral's platforms, where Pepper just uses them as a feed and LP to their MT4 server,) but if you dig back in the Pepperstone thread someone posted an email ...
