I don't think it matters what act or bill or regulation it is in (requiring US citizens to use US regulated brokers). there is not a court in the land that will uphold such a law. It is clearly unconstitutional by any standard. The bureaucrats pass ...

US citizens won't be able to have forex accounts overseas

one of the brokers who gives away our vps's with new accounts was using ODL. they had severe issues after the switch. As far as I know they ended up breaking away from ODL so I'm not sure if the issue is ongoing. fxcm, so I assume so.

US citizens won't be able to have forex accounts overseas

I see it as a potential conflict if they take the opposite side of your trades given they see your stop, pending orders, etc. and have all your account history. a good broker will just make money on the spread at the time you place the order. I have ...

If you make money, does Oanda make money?

I have a feeling it will come down but not to 10:1

Could 10:1 be the new leverage in US Forex?

I can shed some light on this. It is true, we have the only go markets server in north america, so anyone on "the other provider" would actually be traveling across the continental united states and connecting to the Go MT4 server in our SDCA ...

collectivefx is a good broker. I seriously doubt they were stop hunting.

NASTY Spike on ... thecollectivefx.com

interesting idea. we are working on something similar. it will gather statistics from subscribers who volunteer to load our 'EA' in their terminal. and our latency page is going to be updated in real-time with statistics. maybe we can leverage them ...

MT4 Broker Watch: Community Project to monitor MT4 Brokers

ninja trader is good but tends to use a lot of ram. I'm not sure it would get around a virtual dealer plugin though seems any broker would be shooting themselves in the foot by running it

MT4 Brokers' Virtual Dealer Plug-In

no, only the desktop terminal

MT4 Brokers' Virtual Dealer Plug-In

back in the day, I had multiple commodore 64's linked together by joystick port, each with their own dial-up 300bps modem! the bbs worked great! never crashed!

Instead of the BT bridge, may I recommend a rope ladder would get better performance. :-)

mt4 at the biggest bank in the world! DBFX!

sorry for the delay I did not see this thread. You should open a support ticket if you have any issues. based on what I saw, I would first try downloading and installing a new MT4 terminal from the broker. next take a look at the EA(s) you are ...

Opinions on FxPrimus, GoMarkets vs Alpari UK

I don't know what caused the GoMarkets spikes. I saw it being discussed in the gomarkets thread. I would point out that at least Go is addressing it and is a regulated & respected broker. Australia has tough regulations. I don't know much about ...

I was talking with the VP of our datacenter in NYC. They said they received a few emergency calls regarding datacenter issues in brooklyn (emergency setups). might be related.

it's not unusual for datacenters to bring in big generators on the back of semi trucks and plug them in temporarily. I wonder what the problem is. sounds bad

CMSFX... down

With any industry standard datacenter, you are prohibited from having battery backups or generators in the cages. They can damage the redundant power systems in the datacenter. Of course the redundant power systems should not go down, that is a ...
