Right, I cannot explain that, but I don't trade that small any more. At a former broker I had some difficulty with market orders appear as pending orders on my TS, and pinging noises when the price touched my limit exit orders, and other stuff. I ...

Look away for a minute and the thread really fills-up! I think the rep answered this one as best they could: - when you open an account you form a contract with the provider to accept your instructions for trades, you do not form a contract that ...

That is cute. I dunno who is running the server here but there are some big-name players hitching rides on this platform. A while back I had a ManFinancialFX account, and an FXCM account at the same time. Struck by the similarity between the trading ...

Has anybody got experience with Deutsche Bank (DBFX)

First - please read the whole thread while it remains possible to do this within an hour or so. Second - with their trading platform you manually type the size of position you are trying to place into 'amount' window just beneath the quote board. ...

My equity balance figure is always a few seconds behind. I don't mind because now that I know this I can ignore it. Your open positions are never more than half a second behind the price movement and that is the more important, I think.

Further to my previous reply to your post, and subsequent to a serious session last week, I am pleased to report that Dukascopy emailed me to say that my commission charges are reduced because I managed to exceed one of their volume thresholds. No I ...

Hi FX13, and thanks for input on this. I am following your FXCM tribulations thread, as you know. Gcapman; it does not mean that, however it has other conotations. When I have more minutes I may try to find the posting which appeared within the ...

Well, by the sound of it there is plenty of headroom on your hardware. This will be interesting! Shall by interested in your findings.

FXCM active trader web price lag & slippage

I think the point he is making is that running more than one trading platform on any machine can cause the CPU to overload. Plus if you have trading platform applications badly written in Java they could easily consume most of the CPU resource. In ...

That is a very good point. An observation that had not occurred to me, and will inspire me to trade mainly GBP in the future. Yes, I would say that is symptomatic of an ECN. The other thing I like about Duka (which I forgot to put in my post above) ...

Thanks, that was all I needed. BTW have you noticed any lengthy delays between market entry requests and trade placement by the system? My own experience has caused me to put this broker on the back-burner and use them only for long time-frame ...

Until this week I believed that Duka are not an MM, but after some reading in this thread I am no longer as convinced. Two main things have concerned me; 1) I just discovered how to ask JForex for a micro-lot, and the trading platform did not object ...

Just because something carries a 'Barclays' badge does not mean anything more than that it is probably owned by Barclays. I'm sure there would be information exchange but that may be all. I know somebody who is interested in Barx. Would appreciate ...

Hi Scotty, I just read the whole thread thus far. Dukascopy is my fourth account and I have been running it for a few months now. So far I am very happy, and their serving of liquidity/order execution is just so much better than anything I have used ...

Sorry, but there is a special thread for one-liners like that. You will find it here url Thx for the laugh!

Well that is good news, and it saves me posting the banking license detail from the bottom of my online statement! I run the JForex platform and I do not see the ability to trade a micro-lot, nor a mini-lot, in fact my smallest trade size ...

Hi Scotty, and anybody else worrying about this. Apologies if you have already been answered on this, it is quite likely that <your IA> wants it as an accounting check to prove to Dukascopy that they have introduced a real client - and hence get ...
