Oh, it is not a delay in confirmation. It is a delay of execution and or takers. And just to be clear, this is not 2 seconds after non farm LOL

That is an interesting perspective on your "out of court prices". I personally do not feel responsible whatsoever to make sure that the prices are at any particular spread. I am a trader and I am totally comfortable gettin the best market price possible. If you are entering in fast markets...

Why is this a problem for you bugscoe?

According to the FxMarketspace representative that will not be an option. You will not be able to buy and sell contracts with against FxMarket space on your IB or any other platform. It will have its own, seperate platform in a closed network. While it will be operated by Globex, it will not be...

I have some bad news for retail traders regarding FxMarketspace. It will not be available retail traders. I have exchanged several emails with their representative and they will be institutional only. They are proposing a secondary anonymous platform that their participating banks may be able...

I will have to take your word on that. I have never been a meta guy. Any specifics you would share on that topic? '

http://www.tradexfx.com/web/index.php?pid=1 Here is what I know about them. I know a guy who has traded with them a little. He said the fills are pretty consistent but has experienced a few spikes that did not show on esignal. They use meta as a platform. They have sent me several emails...

As far as retail Brokers go, I have not found anyone with a better combination of good spreads and consistent execution than OandA. I have not tried them all but I have experience with many. I am a bit curious about Tradex. If anyone is using them please speak up.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have been in forex for goin' on 5 years. I have just never wanted to mess with anything else. However, these days trading is my business. And like any business, I want to reduce my expenses. There are two...

ACM is in the crapper. Platform stabilty problems, widened spreads, holding orders, manual execution, etc etc etc. Throw in one of the worst back offices in forex and that is what you have.

I have also been looking into "stepping up". I have spoken to just about everbody that Currenex lists on their site as white labels. The standard reply to minimum account sizes is $100,000 with some saying $1,000,000. Some brokers will negotiate the $25,000 minimum account size but it will not...

Prop FX is not real Currenex. They add pips to the spread instead of charging commision. So the transparency is gone. If you compare Prop FX to a prime currenex platform you will see that they add 1 to 2 pips to the euro spread and 2 to 3 pips to the Franc and Pound vs the dollar. If you do the...
