Hotspot does it the same way (and most other pro platforms). Every trade has a valuation date (that's when you actually trade) and a settlement date (which is usually 2 days later - google 'tomorrow next' for details). That's the date where the ...

GFT Forex Discussion

No chart-trading, and no native TTO and trailing-stop support (you could program your own tho). If you are looking for a good order-entry platform and nothing else, Ninjatrader would be better than Neo. Neo is good for everything else (charts, ...

!! quick question about mbt and integrated charting.

You dont know that they made $15 M because of the cftc reports. May as well be money that a stakeholder put up. For example, when Oanda went from ~$30 M to $150 M all the dough came from an outside investor and not from the firms revenue.

Its perfectly well explained on the website. How much interest do you expect holding 1 unit for 1 hour?

I don't know, as far as i am concerned, an ECN has a central limit-order book where you can enter your own bids and offers and have them displayed to the whole client base. Everything other than that (MT4 etc.) is something else.

Some firms do impose limits on how near to the current market you can place orders, but most do not. I would not trade with any firm who does this, and 20 pips is really ridiculous.

4 pip spread in eur/usd? Funny.

It doesn't get rounded they are just adding the spread. I personally find that annoying too. They got lots of complaints from novice traders that do not understand the implications of the bid/ask spread and mid-price candlestick charting so they ...

So you are saying the broker should be punished for the clients inaptitude to trade?

Comissions should be percentage based ONLY on winning trades

There is lots of bad data in the nav charts, i.e. 1.000 prints in eur/usd every day during roll-over, usd/jpy has corrupted data as well after a quick glance. Is MT4 the same or does mb have better quality backfill data for that?

You wont have much luck with eur/jpy on the CME - this pair is illiquid in futures, so forget about that, you have to trade spot if it must be eur/jpy. If you still want to trade futures, you will have to trade through a broker, some of which are ...

There is huge reputational risk associated with these fellows. Apparently MB thinks the commission-money from this borderline-scam outweighs this risk. Personally i think its a bad decision to taint their up to now good reputation. They had some ...
