    Currenex troubles

    So you are placing a "MARKET" order and feel you have a right to complain about something you call slippage? IMO, there is no such thing as slippage on a market order. Place one at your own peril. Place one at a news event and your are just plain inexperienced. Especially since you are...

    Currenex, HotSpotFxi, Lava - Pimps for the Banks? - No Scalpers

    NickBarings, I think I understand your confusion. To be sure, let me ask you a question. 1- Do you have a contract directly with Currenex, signed by your company and Currenex, and get a brokerage bill from Currenex to trade on the Currenex institutinal platform? I do not think so. 2-...

    Currenex, HotSpotFxi, Lava - Pimps for the Banks? - No Scalpers

    We send out a mass mailer to all customers before all releases but one thing you need to remember is that I have no idea who the customers are of my WL customers. This is purposely to avoid conflicts of interest. Because of this, this would have gone to our WL partners and it is up to them to...

    Currenex, HotSpotFxi, Lava - Pimps for the Banks? - No Scalpers

    Its a poll. There are many polls that are innaccurate. Polls are voted on by people. People are influenced by certain things and polls reflect those influences. FXAll is an RFQ platform, period and 95% of their volume is customers rolling their positions. Good volume, sure, but its not...

    Currenex, HotSpotFxi, Lava - Pimps for the Banks? - No Scalpers

    The numbers above are incorrect. Reuters is much higher, FXAll numbers include T/N swaps and the spot volume is only around 6b per day average and overall volume average is much lower. EBS is about correct on average. Currenex is the 3rd largest platform for spot transactions behind EBS and...

    Currenex, HotSpotFxi, Lava - Pimps for the Banks? - No Scalpers

    Not sure why you keep referring to banks. If you are using a white label provider who also sources liquidity from the generic Currenex platform, then most (80%) transactions are customer to customer transactions. Currenex as a technology vendor has many customers white labelling its software...

    Currenex, HotSpotFxi, Lava - Pimps for the Banks? - No Scalpers

    For my second post in history, I can state that your above statement is completely false. In fact, Currenex has no such documentation in its existance. All Currenex customers sign the exact same contract that has nothing of the sort included. Maybe you are referring to a white label provider...

    Currenex, HotSpotFxi, Lava - Pimps for the Banks? - No Scalpers

    I will use my first public post ever to tell you that your information on the marketplace's above is severely misguided. Your information on Hotspot, Currenex, and Lava are all incorrect. While some of your post contains relevant information, its attribution to certain marketplaces is inaccurate.
