However it wouldn't make sense for a MetaTrader client terminal to be in NY would it, because the data would have to do a trip to Boston Technologies and back? Why work with Boston Technologies in the first place? It seems that the setup is not ...

I think there should be a big public blacklist of brokers who don't pay out profits. I know MaXeY has already done it here: Brokers Scams Who delete you profits, but I'm thinking it needs to be something more official like Forex Peace Army, which is ...

Would a VPS in NY have better latency than a VPS in Boston? Why did you choose Boston Technologies for the VPS that you offer?

Some brokers consider withdrawal to another broker as a third party withdrawal. When I ask about it that's the reason they give for not allowing it, even though they may accept deposits from another broker. So it depends on the broker and also the ...

Broker allows 3rd party withdrawal ?

That's why brokers who do automatic withdrawal would be so much more attractive. There would be no need to worry whether the broker is going to take some or all of your profits claiming some silly reason like scalping not allowed. Some brokers do ...

Brokers with automatic deposit and withdrawal

Is that because FXCM is not a bank? Do you have any non-bank liquidity providers? Could FXCM (or a company that FXCM has some control over) be one of them?

It may have also been Interbank FX, because they do allow broker to broker funds transfer if the destination broker is on their list of allowed brokers. Though it depends on what "3rd part withdrawal" means. They probably don't allow withdrawal to ...

Broker allows 3rd party withdrawal ?

So the big question then is whether FXCM is one of their own liquidity providers. STP can simply mean straight to their own liquidity.

I want to open an account with you, however I need minimum trade size to be 1000 of base currency for testing new strategies. Is this possible? I have found that testing in demo environment is inefficient use of time, so I want to be able to test ...

But is there any chance that one or more liquidity providers can notice that they are losing money due to a particular trading style/strategy and then complain to you (the broker acting as the middleman) and/or forbid such trading? It could ...

I think they should lower the account stop-out level as a work-around to the lower leverage imposed by NFA. I have found that it makes a huge difference, whereas the more leverage is increased, the less effect it has on the distance to account stop ...

Interbank FX. The most reliable MT4 broker around?

Dukascopy is FXOpen ECN's liquidity provider. People claim that Dukascopy's half-pip rounding is price manipulation.

The better solution is to locate the GoMarkets servers near the liquidity providers' servers. Since there's only one liquidity provider (Currenex), that should be a very simple task. I presume the Currenex servers are in the US, so latency should ...

Jason, is it possible now to reduce the minimum trade size on MetaTrader STP accounts to a micro lot (1000 of base currency)?

FXCM Micro becoming No Dealing Desk

Can't they simply reduce the minimum lot size in the current STP accounts to 0.01 lots (1K of base currency)? They can simply get rid of the "Micro" division.

dizzydee, what do you mean by Bangkok based yet brokerage is in the US? Is your company registered in Thailand? Do you have Thai clients trading through you? Are you able to tell me the name of the company?

Why can't they put one in the US so that they can be closer to the Currenex servers from where they get their real-time quotes and where they get the traders' orders executed? It doesn't make sense from a latency point of view for data to have to ...

This is just one of the design flaws of MetaTrader. There is no indication from the server that the market is closed, so the terminal simply doesn't know for sure. You as the human may know by looking at the MarketWatch window time: if it says ...
