Which would be the same for firms that dont pay interest. There is nothing in the cftc docs that says you can just leave out inactive accounts.

FXCM's Profitability Report!!!

Alright. I think they should include them tho, if you read the wording from this (last paragraph): url Seems they are omitting break-even accounts completely.

FXCM's Profitability Report!!!

Nop, i didint listen to this nonsense. I just think it would make sense that Oanda should be closer to the rest. Possible explanation: Oanda is - afaik - the only one on that list that pays interest on account balance, which makes inactive accounts ...

FXCM's Profitability Report!!!

The Oanda numbers dont make sense. I have nothing against them (i even have an account there), but i dont believe the average Oanda customer is 2x better than the avg customer of the others. A case of creative counting? Cant find the report on the ...

Hotspot and Currenex frontends are done in java too. For everything but very-high freq automated trading (such as marketmaking) java is no problem.

klrman: when did you take that trade? Wednesday's trades settle 2 days later (because auf the weekend), and you will be charged/credited 3x the swap. Maybe it has something to do with that. See: url

Marex also has quite a big tradingfloor + prop trading division, in addtion to their broker business. Its the result of a management buyout of the tech branch of the then failing refco.

MAREX Currenex average slippage

I guess its a legal issue or insurance issue. They deny an account for people with very low net-worth or are inexperienced. You just have to fill in the right answers and it will work. And by the way, Oanda has similar requirements. There was even ...

Broker denied me from opening an account

Interestig, They obviously dont want/cant give a definite answer. The wording on the brokers website is also always "maybe eglible for compensation", they probably didnt get a definite answer also. So "unregulated forward fx contracts" are not ...

Client Money Safety? suggest broker/ jurisdiction

You gotta read the fine print. For example, FDIC insurance (like for Citi) only covers USD deposits, EURs and other ccys aren't covered (afaik). Not sure if CH bank insurance only covers CHF. Might want to check that. UK has a customer compensation ...

500x leverage, $500 accounts, mt4, offshore domicile Guessing their "institutional business" with the biggest ecn and so on was such a resounding success that they now have to deal with nickel-players.. Ridiculous. Does this site still have ...

Well, you started the chart posting, not me. But okay.. so its a coincidence that mb-price makes the same price-movements like the other feeds, just 20 seconds shifted in time? It is not slow hardware? Its because they are an ecn and their liquidity ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

I'm well over the fact that markets get busy over FOMC and that there are big spreads and potential slippage involved. That's why i dont click into such a mess. What i do expect however is accurate marketdata, even if i wont trade immediately after ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Data was lagged during FOMC again. There was even a bad tick or stale pricing (bid@~1.3110) 2 minutes after the announcement, resulting in a 50 pip spread for a few seconds. Doubt it was a tradeable price tho, no other feed had that. Theres much ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

I just had problems with market-data flickering on and off in usd/jpy. Sometimes all quotes disappeared for that pair for a second or two. Do you get anything like that on live? Its probably just a demo-problem. This and lcg seems to be the best ...

Whats up with the Gain NFA complaint anyways. Gain must have filed an answer to the complaint like a month ago (as per the docs), yet its still not published on the NFA site.

NFA Takes Action Against Gain Capital

Anyone using their Direct Pro (currenex) account? Demo spreads appear very good, and commissions start at rock-bottom with $15/mil, going down from there.

Not in the USA for FX-brokers. Even if the client-cash is parked at a seperate account ("segregated") - which it porbably is, it doesnt matter. Ultimately the court decides who gets what of what is left, if there is anything left, and the clients, ...
