My take is if someone is on TV telling me that something is going up, that I should consider buying, they're short and looking to exit.

Never listen to forecasters and analysists.

And I'm sure in a "broader sense" you and I are also related if we go back far enough. But we aren't sharing any meals together at any family get togethers. If the interbank market is where the banks and other traders swap currencies, who are you ...

Currenex for Retail Clients...

You need to read up a little more and get your details right. The NYSE, LSE and ASX are exchanges. A "market maker" is a broker-dealer firm that accepts the risk of holding a certain number of shares of a particular security in order to facilitate ...

Currenex for Retail Clients...

Since BostonForex referred to the company as a "market maker" I'm getting the impression this is just another shop looking to grab a piece of the retail FX market.

Is this going to be an ECN type broker? If so, what are the commissions going to be?

Is this Viking Trader available now or something that will be coming out soon?

Thanks. How about commission per 100,000? Their website does not provide that info that I can see?

htbreaker - are you using market or limit orders?

I think they just gave away the secret that they are in fact a dealer and are taking the other side. If not, they would have 0% interest in the length of any trades you make.

Were we talking about elitetrader? No. And you have a funny definition of "all the time". Steve's last post on elitetrader was 08-29-07 06:43 PM.

MB Trading

The original question was, what was the advantage of trading with EFX over MB. Do you see reps from MB here? The costs are the same so it should be a no brainer you go with where the service is superior.

MB Trading

The advantage should be obvious - Justin is here everyday responding to and answering questions! He cares, and that goes a long way in this business and in any business for that matter.

Why is Oanda only a good choice for people with under 5k? What is that makes them a bad choice suddenly when you have more capital?

MB Trading

I guess you lost me? How can a 3 pip spread broker and a 6 pip spread broker have the same bid and ask?

I would say Oanda and EFX are you best choices. However, I don't have first hand experience with any other brokers, other than GFT, who is not a good choice.
