I guess burgerking is quoting commissions per roundturn (because $13 for eur/usd is in and out at MB Trading). That would make fxdd $20/mm too, if BK didn't confuse anything.

FXDD Red Flag

Saxo is from Denmark, if i remember correctly.

SwissFXBroker (SFXB)--has anyone ever used them?

Yes, but they charge a minimum of $10 per ticket so its really expensive to do less than 500K. Maybe thats an Advantage specialty.

Discussion on ECN forex broker

Im not in the loop how well HotspotFXi performs at the moment, but its another option for 'not-that-big' accounts. It can be accessed through Advantage Futures for example - commission is $18/mm USD traded. They only have a $5000 minimum deposit, ...

Discussion on ECN forex broker

I doubt the former Hotspot clients will be too happy with the fxcm fees. I personally canceld my Hots account a few weeks ago. By the way this also means all HotspotFXi clients who signed up directly through Hotspot will now need a Prime Broker/IB ...

FXCM acquires HotSpot FXr

Justin - can you comment on that one: url If that goes through, it would make fx spot somewhat useless compared to futures..

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Im using Neoticker for charing with the MB live data-feed, and such spikes do exist in the live data too (especially often during rollover and midnight maintainance). They are infrequent, but they are there.

MBT and doji

Oanda has a .NET api as well, but its not free.

Forex broker with VB.net compatible interface / API?

Because they also offer commodity and index CFDs, not only FX.

dbfx and saxo is safe for American ?

Americans can open FX accounts in europe without problem. They cannot open CFD accounts (or any other derivatives on instruments that are exchange-traded in the USA, like crude oil, stocks, stock-indices and so on), because that would cause trouble ...

dbfx and saxo is safe for American ?

EuroFX contract is 125K ($12.5 per pip). But yes, the CME is a very good alternative if you don't need crosses like eur/jpy etc. I still dont get your $150 - are you saying you get a 5 pip spread on a regular basis?

forex spreads are a joke....read this

Pound futures are worth 62.5K ($6.25 per pip) per contract not 100K. You can trade futures with MB too, by the way. And how exactly do you get to $150 per trade?

forex spreads are a joke....read this

Yes, they can effectively quote you whatever price they want, as per the customer agreement. They are under absolutely no obligation to honor quotes by 3rd parties - and they will tell you just that if you ask them, just like any other marketmaker ...

OANDA Discussion

ewokuk: you can get those tick chart here (click 'FxCompare'): url Charts from other brokers, NFA and ForexBastards wont help you. Also i doubt Olsen will reply to your mail or even read it. Just contact customer-support, they reverse trades on a ...

OANDA Discussion

Yes, its there - just one tick. Looks invalid to me too (no such high on CME). Your order should have been executed 10 minutes later but not at 13:36. They usually reverse trades on invalid prices, send them an email and see what they do.

OANDA Discussion

$00,40 / 1000 units $04,00 / 10000 units $40,00 / 100K units $400 / 1mm units Are you for real? If you pay that in and out its equivalent to 8 pips spread without commission.

Spread is Dead! Or is it?

With IB you wont trade 10 lots (or 8 futures contracts) with a 10K account - you wouldn't have enough margin to open such a position. With $100 a pip you would be down 10% already with a 10 pip fluctuation, insane in my opinion.

ECN or Futures

You think MT4 is free? Think again..

MT4 - Why is it loved so much

You don't have to form any entity, its possible for individuals through a 'CME individual seat lease'. You also don't have to keep up any volume requirements, but since you pay a monthly lease its only economical if you do a certain volume, or else ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Justin: what do you mean by "full-service broker" - will you finally offer trading all asset-classes out of a single account? There is a certain firm that is in dire need of some competition in that sector in my opinion..
