With Japan on holiday the whole monday, and the Lehman woes going on currently, i guess the opening this week is expected to be kind of bumpy..

IBFX

It 'should' be that way, unfortunately MB roll rates are not competitive (despite JLB's announcement a year or so ago that they will be improved). 500 BP and more below/above Libor on swaps is just way beyond. When it comes to interest rates, for ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

That is easier said than done. Nowadays with the 0.1 pip precision pricing there are so many updates in a such a short time that it is difficult to post such an order manually without the price moving along meanwhile. I was thinking about writing an ...

How many people here have about 5 funded retail accounts and look for the best price

Thats indeed not very much (even MBT displays more than that sometimes), a few shots from euro/us-hours would have been more fair tho in my opinion..

Broker that pays interest

That is true, only IB doesn't pay interest on the first 10K of the account - only on funds that exceed 10K. So in his scenario he would not receive interest.

Broker that pays interest

I don't think the question was if MBT, or any other ECN, is faking orders, but rather, if those orders get pulled if they come near execution. This can can often be observed in futures markets. For example, there was a famous trader on Eurex a few ...

Whats a gib? Some sort of IB?

Currenex for Retail Clients...

I don't think so either, they use Pension GHCO to clear exchange traded instruments and their own FCM for FX - those two won't mix (futures/stocks deposits also go to Pension's accounts directly, and they also do the book-keeping etc.). As far as my ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

This is available now on url Its some sort of currenex lite, with everyone jumping the retail market currenex does want its slice of the cake too, apparently. Commissions are not too sexy ($50 to $35 volume tiered, like MB Trading). No interest on ...

Currenex for Retail Clients...

This is common practice in futures trading - every day at the session end open positions get marked to market (P&L settles in account) and at the start of the next session the position gets reopened at the opening price. I have not heard of this ...

Broker auto closing trades every end of the week

Maybe AlpariUK ? I dont have personal experience with them, but i think there are a few threads about it in this forum (search function).

Forex broker outside USA

If that's the same Tradex i am thinking about they are in bankruptcy since a year or two already.. I suggest a UK based broker, the regulation over there guarantees the first 20K GBP or so for retail clients should the broker go bankrupt, funds ...

Forex broker outside USA

What about margins for XAU and XAG spot? It would appear that this will make futures more interesting than spot in these instruments (i know MBT doesn't offer it anyways, but alot of other shops do).

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

sccz97: do they "amend" fills on limit-orders too? That would completely defeat the purpose of a limit-order (being filled only at or better of price X). Using retail-level ECNs (hotspot and IB a long time ago) i never got a trade canceled or ...

Interbank Spot: "Bank Reversals" Make it a Fools Game???

Actually, GBP/USD would be slightly less that $2 per roundtrip (50 cents * 1.95 *2)

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

sccz97: it appears that at least some currenex-providers do indeed 'bust' trades (in this case ODL), see: url

Interbank Spot: "Bank Reversals" Make it a Fools Game???

Actually, commission for 1 minilot Eur/Usd would be 50 cents * 1.5 = 75 cents ($1.5 for the round-trip).

Jody ill send you a pm later. P.S. i guess everyone is posting in the wrong thread, GFT and hotspot retail is sort of offtopic in here..

Currenex vs Hotspot FXi: Life view screenshot

I don't know, maybe try using the windows classic theme, not the XP theme. It works for me. P.S. pretty bad that they still didn't manage to display mkt depth on this software.
