There was quite some lag on the quote-server during the NFP-release. Price was 10 to 15 seconds behind other data-feeds, misrepresenting market-price for more than 20 pips at some points. Also, crossed quotes all over the place (-20 pip spread ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Junior member paschall does no appear to understand bid/ask-pricing and its graphical representation on the chart. Furthermore, said junior member does not appear to understand ninjatraders fill-mechnism during backtests and its implicit limitations.

Can someone answer question about Brokers chasing stops?

Muppet: you can easily check all this yourself with only looking at a few things. Check their street-address and if they have a license in the corresponding country. If they have a NFA-record, check for arbitration documents and then check the ...

GallantFX

So why are you interested in this company, specifically? Is it because they are an unlicensed forex dealer in the U.S. - and therefore in violation of several laws? Is it because of their sub-par spreads? Or because of one of their other fronts (one ...

They are not yet in the list of authorized banks and security dealers (dated from today): url

Dukascopy

Its actually a short-coming of Metatrader. I use MB + Neoticker and can choose whatever timezone and session-settings i like. I believe the new Ninjatrader beta also supports this.

The issue is they are publishing wrong information about their regulatory status. If they are lying about that - what else are they lying about?

FXCentral???

url Their application is pending - they are not a NFA member yet. Messy NFA history too.

FXCentral???

So what are the consequences of this decision. Are you still able to place trades? Can you still withdraw your deposit?

FXOpen and Basel Financial banned by the Mauritius

Probably forgot to hand over the boodle money to the right people.

FXOpen and Basel Financial banned by the Mauritius

At the end of the day customers are unable to trade with this firm for at least 6 months, which should be unacceptable for just about everyone. They either suck for activities leading to this regulatory action, or for setting up in a jurisdiction ...

FXOpen and Basel Financial banned by the Mauritius

It doesn't have to be a glitch, because its not supposed to work how you think it is. You have to look at a tick-by-tick chart to determine if its a glitch or not. Example: You have a limit buy at 87 and upper bound at 89. The ask-price is 86.9, and ...

Oanda, not cool.

"The order was cancelled at 13:05:25" What timezone is this refering to? It probably did what its supposed to do (gapped over the bounds for an instant - thus canceling the order - and then rebound back inside). I don't like that behaviour either, ...

Oanda, not cool.

IOC supposedly works too.

You guys really made me do an excel sheet about that. Data is from my custom frontend which logs all fills (including slippage info) to a db. Slippage is calculated as the difference between the displayed price on the screen and the fill price in ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

Also, if MB would hold proprietary positions (against clients or otherwise) or keep an inventory for making markets, it would show on the net-capital requirements from the CFTC - since they do impose haircuts on those. You can see that marketmakers ...

Is MBT really an ECN ?

MB is ok. Sure there are ECNs with a little better bid/ask-spreads, but they don't accept 1000 unit orders or $400 accounts. You cant expect the same pricing like on ECNs with 20K+ min. balance and 100K minimum order. Nickelplayers always pay a bit ...

Is MBT really an ECN ?

Im staring at quotes and charts from different sources pretty much all day. I don't need to rely on some random forum-posts to make up my mind. But thanks for the suggestion. So your complaint is lagging marketdata, mistrades, and sometimes higher ...

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

Ok, please link said screenshots and clips.

I think Oanda FXTrade is unreliable

bugscoe: thats my experience as well. Im using Neoticker+MBT for charts and Oanda for trading. Its pretty much lockstep. BTW, i track slippage through a custom frontend (via api), and my average slippage on the last 100 trades is 0.1 pip. Yes its a ...
