Interactive Broker and trade size

FDIC guarantees only up to $250K - not enough by a mile for most brokers. Also, it will take quite some time for FDIC to actually deliver the guaranteed funds - if during that time the broker can not meet its financial obligations, a client can file ...

Our brokers segreated customer accounts protected by FDIC or any other entity?

ECN and automated trading

Nice pricing. I guess Hotspot will have to do something soon, or else they will loose market share. Constantly 2-3 pips in eur/usd and usd/jpy just doesn't cut it.

Why not a central Forex exchange?

You said "2.03 swap points per day" - whatever you mean by points, i assumed you meant pips, which it is not. Oanda pays 4.015% annualized for gbp/jpy longs (4.8% GBP bid - 0.785% JPY offer). Doesn't seem too bad too me. How much are the others ...

Which broker offers highest swap rates?

"For 10 000 units GBP/JPY longs held for 24 hours earned interest is 2,03 $. that is 2,03 swap point for 1 day." No - with a mini-lot position in gbp/jpy 1 pip is not worth $1 - that is only true for pairs with usd as base currency like eur/usd. ...

Which broker offers highest swap rates?

Going live with USD100k, which broker should I choose?

You said the only choice were 'stop hunting market makers vs low liquidity ecn's' - which simply isn't true. That's whining in my book. However, there are providers who combine multiple ecns into one platform (google vCap Futures) - unfortunately ...

FXClub is the funny one. From their website: Zero-spreads No Swaps No Re-quotes Pay just $0.6 for every $1,000 traded Get instant commission refunds on non-profitable trades I like the "just $600/mio" especially.

Anyone trading news here?

When small account becomes LARGE...

I use esignal as data source, but libor rates are also published for free on url in excel format. Altho the accuracy of Libor rates were under discussion recently, because some people did suspect that the banks, who report their rates to BBA ...

FXCM Discussion

Yes, they are market-driven, and in the case of rolls, the underlying benchmark are interbank overnight interest rates. I have attached a chart of USD o/n Libor including last week. That is the interest rate a bank has to pay to borrow funds for one ...

Why not just use CQG. Its a better piece of software and probably cheaper than MT4 licence and ICap API. They offer EBS data too.

EBS Feed + MT4!

Do you guys read Bloomberg or something? You know, interbank short-term interest rates are quite out of whack at the moment. Dec EuroFX trades 1-2 pips above spot at the moment (means nearly flat interest-rate differential), Eurodollar futs are ...
