You can have a look at NinjaTrader. You can define exit strategies for trades you enter manually, or you can write fully automated trading systems. Works with MB Trading, IB and others too (i think you have to get version 6.5 beta iirc).

Brokers with automated capability

What makes sense for a private trader, doesnt necessarily make sense for an institution. 'Scalping for a few pips using high leverage' isnt infinitly scalable, infact it isnt really at all. The bigger the positions are, the higher the ...

Oanda vs. Interbankfx for Scalping

I was using TCPview(which does simmilar stuff like netstat, amogst other things) from the SysInternals suite while RemoteTrader was running, and there were only 2 trading related connections open, no akamai tho. Both TCP sockets connected to ...

EFXGroup / MBTrading Remote Trader

Justin: while you are here, can you confirm that akamai routing technology is actually in place with the current version of remote-trader? I mean that 'global same speed of execution' feature that was talked about in one of your presentations. I ...

EFXGroup / MBTrading Remote Trader

I had a brief look the other day: Basically, it does nothing better than the navigator, except that you can define the maximum slippage you accept for one-click trading. There are charts, but its nothing to write home about (you cant even scroll or ...

EFXGroup / MBTrading Remote Trader

So what happened to VikingTrader? Did they go live yet?

Institutional Spreads Available on MT4

You dont know how the losses occured, and the cash just disapeared? What does their support say about that? You can download the transaction history/daily reports, what do they say? I think you should be more specific and provide more details, when ...

Interactive brokers or hotspot?

They only *have* to do what was agreed upon in the documents you signed when you opened the account, which is usually not much. OTOH, they may not even be allowed to tell you, depending on the paperwork between the broker and the bank. I could see ...

Do Traders have the right to know Brokers' Liquidity provider?

Much confusion here.. CME (chicago mercantile exchange) and CBOT (chicago board of trade) merged last year. Those FX Spot Equivalent futures are traded on USFE (U.S. Futures exchange, formerly knowen as EUREX US, then bought by MAN and renamed to ...

MT4 Brokers' Virtual Dealer Plug-In

TraderKGB: is it really 0.2 pips commission (i.e. $20 for 1 mio gbp/usd), or do they do the $20/mio USD traded thing (i.e. ~$40 for 1mio. gbp/usd)?

Interactive Broker commissions

Maybe it is still in effect in the american division, the european rep said they dont have it.

MB Trading really an ECN?

I talked to a Hotspot (euro division) rep 2 or 3 weeks ago, and apparently the 10 pip rule is no more(it isnt mentioned on their website too anymore). Also, euro and american divisions have different commissions, euro division is $30/mio dollars ...

MB Trading really an ECN?

The only advantage of efx over Hotspot i can see is the more flexible(small) position-sizes. But its the same everywhere, the small traders have to pay more. Commissions in stocks and futures are volume-dependant too..

MB Trading really an ECN?

Why would this be changes for the better? Clearly, the ideal solution would be to allow FX dealers to seggregate client funds like futures firms, thus providing the same level of saftey of funds like them, and keep an environment with healthy ...

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

Interesting article on the topic: url Basically FXCM and Oanda are arguing that NFA/CTFC are founded and dominated by futures firms, and that they are trying to skew regulation in their favour.

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

Smartrouting is only for exchange-traded instruments (except futures) too. You can also correct the Hotspot 10 pip rule.

MB Trading really an ECN?

Sorry, but the only correct thing in the above post is the IB $2.50 minimum per order. You dont have to call them to close a position (??), no routing fee and no fees to change/cancel FX orders. Hotspot had this 10 pip rule some time ago, but ...
