Thanks for the screenshots. 12 banks only quoting a total of 7m on the offer side in the second usd/jpy screenshot - can that be right?

Would someone be so kind and post a few screenshots of the marktdepth window of PFG Currenex (interested in eur/usd and usd/jpy) ? Their demo is not representing the live-environment (at least i hope it doesn't).

Justin: can you have the quote-servers checked out - they lag during the first 5 minutes of the NFP-release like 25 to 30 seconds behind other datafeeds. Im getting basically the same quotes from MB, just half a minute later. It was the same last ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Re Ninjatrader: You have to ask Ninja-support which version of Navigator is supported, its not really a MB issue. They have a support forum.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

FXCM wont allow US clients to trade their index products, even tho its regulated by FSA. I dont see how Darrens argument holds much merit. But i guess we will have just to wait and see until their lawyers figure it out.

CFTC NEW Document - Overseas Accounts OK?

Thats probably what those american UBS clients thought too..

Another thing to consider would be that the new regs only affect retail fx. It would be intersting what the term retail exactly means, i guess just private individuals that dont meet ECP criteria. Maybe using a LLC (maybe domiciled in UK, since its ...

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

I posted a link in the other thread, from a security laywer talking about the issue. It will come down to how ctfc/sec will interpret the dodd/frank-act, and that is not clear yet. The enforcement works, because not the clients are threatened, but ...

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

"the vast majority of successful traders rarely have a need to use leverage in excess of 10:1" I dont think such general statements are very helpful, nor accurate. For example, the EuroFX future has ~40:1 overnight margin, intraday usually much more ...

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

Maybe not, but it will be difficult for us citizens to get an account with a reputable european firm, for example. Its the same situation like with index, commodity and stock CFDs right now. All the bigger firms like CMC Markets or IG Markets just ...

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

If i remember correctly, Refco futures customers from the regulated onshore entity were made good, Refco FX clients (which was offshore) lost most of the funds. That would be more a case for regulation, rather than against.

They describe themselfs as "licensed as a New Zealand Offshore Financial Institution registration/license number 2356265". Here is what the NZ Reserve Bank have to say about such companies: url

Anyone with APBG Broker?

To rikers and the chips person: its not about +-0.5 pips or if they take a 1000 unit trade on their own book. Its about being upfront about what they actually do. Because clearly, the network-diagram on their website is NOT how it works - a 1000 ...

Dukascopy

Dukascopy: on your website you say you route orders (amongst others) to Lava, Hotspot and Currenex. Since those platforms quote in 0.1 pip incerments and Dukas only in 0.5 pip increments, can you explain where the difference goes? Since the website ...

In my opinion, level 2 data in fx is useless except for checking if there is sufficient size available for a large order. There are dozens of ecns and even more marketmaker platforms which dont even give out depth information, you'd have to monitor ...

MB Trading and their Volume representation

I dont think so. Hotspot does publish volume data, but not in realtime. You have to trade futures for reliable traded volume data, but they represent only a small fraction of the overall currency market.
