Its ~$1500 for a permanent NT licence (you can lease it too, i think its $50/month), and ~$100/month for eSignal (data only subscription and FX Data). Obviously it only makes sense if have a monthly turnover so that the software/data fees dont play ...

Charting Software with Time Zone Manipulation ?

I use Neoticker (+ eSignal as data provider). You can freely define timezones and trading sessions, and it does pretty much everything charting-wise (and more). But it comes at a cost.

Charting Software with Time Zone Manipulation ?

Ok so its 20%($1 out of $5) for the IB. But i really dont buy that the $5 is a low margin business. Firstly, your direct competitors (Hotspot and IB) undercut you by more than 50% commission-wise, and they are still alive. I understand that you have ...

According to felix, he gets a kickback of 15% of the $5/100k commissions from EFX. Must be quite rewarding if one could recruit enough newbies. And it shows that its not really a low-margin business for EFX if they give 15% away like that.

Tradex Swiss AG

Of course you can place real limit orders on the efx platform. Altho if you use a stop and a limit order for an exit-bracket, they dont cancel each other like a tto does. As far as i am aware, a tto works like two stop-market orders, and stop orders ...

Looking for a good IB

Why would one of the big boys announce anything like that? None of them are publicaly traded companies, as far as i am aware, so they dont need to announce things like these. I also think they are extremly profitable, especially the big fx retailers ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Not only 'deal desks' have these clauses in their customer agreements, also ECNs and futures/options/stocks brokers do. I have yet to read one that does sound fair to both sides, the client and the broker. For example IB (i just mention them because ...

Oanda doesnt do IB-agreements and wont pay kickbacks of any kind. Mb/Efx apparently does business with everyone, even with Felix and ForexMadeCheesey and the likes. Its probably the easiest way to get what you want..

Download the EFX navigator, open the watchlist, add the pairs of your choice, add the collumns "buy premium" and "sell premium". For example, Usd/Jpy is at +2.73% / -8.66%. But for a dedicated carry strategy those rolls are not good enough (to put ...

I think it was obvious that Janson was questioning the competitiveness of your commission-structure in relation to other ECNs. I guess direct competitors to EFX would be Hotspot ($30/mio) and Interactive Brokers (even less). Given enough ...
