FxMarketspace was a jointventure between the CME and Reuters. Basically noone was interested in trading there (noone that matters in the FX world anyways) - so they closed it down last year.
Someone needs to build a pure, transparent ECN, no liquidity provider retail broker

I think for stp firms that's a really good rule, if a firm intends to cancel/adjust a trade it has to be done in a timely fashion, not HOURS after the trade, like some firms did. If a firm cancels a trade this late, it has lots of unforseen ...

Is NFA doing enough?
- shrike replied Apr 28, 2009
People dicking around with amounts less than a minilot in the inside-market is a total nuisance. There should be a setting to only display amounts exceeding a user-definable threshold. Would make the best bid/ask quotes a tad more meaningful.

MBTrading vs HotspotFX vs Dukascopy vs IB
- shrike replied Apr 26, 2009
There are also boutique-like firms who will offer access to various platforms simultaneously (Hotspot, Currenex, EBS etc.) I.e. Marex, Fixi, London Capital or ADM in the states. Advantage Futures also started a similar service recently (Hotspot + ...

Guessing soso refers to 'real limit orders' to limit orders on exchanges for stocks, futures or ecns with a central limit order book, where limit-orders get filled at the limit-price or better (or not at all). You can somewhat emulate this behavior ...

On most pro platforms transactions settle at T+2. Its standard banking practice. Every transaction has a transaction date, booking date and valuation date.

Oanda does not do any sort of advertising, online or otherwise. Its my understanding that you have to sponsor this site in order to become a preferred broker, so that sort of rules it out.

Jairo, i have no idea how to put it more simple than i already have. If you really think these rules at all of the major exchanges exist only to prevent you from making money, this delusional accounting practice is the least of your problems. Good ...
Proposal to phase out Hedging
- shrike replied Apr 16, 2009
No real market offers this. Not in stocks, futures or options or what have you. Its just a gimmick of some low profile fx shops. Every major exchange outlaws this explicitly, and for good reason (google for 'cross trade'). If you buy one and then ...

I have given up on discussing "hedging" on forums. They are true believers and their conviction transcends the most simple calculus.
Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

Yes i find the design that every exception disconnects you also flawed. Its completely unnecessary. For me, this happens most often when an order causes a boundary violation. Something completely normal and expected, but still the client gets ...
Brokers with API
- shrike replied Apr 5, 2009
Whats wrong with their java-API? I'm using the .NET version and find it to be quite reliable. The only thing i dont like are 3-second polled quotes(means less updates than on FxTrade), but i understand that java version doesn't have this limitation.
