Perhaps you should read this and compare it with the services offered by Saxo, Refco or FXCM before continuing to repeatedly express your skepticism: http://www.interbankfx.com/aboutus.htm

To answer a few interbankfx questions: Are the spreads fixed at 2 pips EUR/USD on news reports? Yes. And just to illustrate, spreads were 2 pips on EUR/USD all during NFP on Friday - the mother of all news reports. That is the only pair I follow but the demo mirrors the live account so you...

More than anything, I've found that news trading requires speed and decisiveness in taking action. Each report has its own particular nuances to it, and each report may differ from its historical patterns. For instance I've classified the major reports, and of those some tend to lead to what...

FXCM has a monthly mini trading contest, but after some of the things I've read about them I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. http://www.fxcm.com/trading-contest.jsp I found that the mini cooper contest was run by forex.com and ended in June. http://www.forex.com/contest_winners.html

No that lags Interactive Broker's feed by .5 to 1 second, and for all my trying I could not get the data out of the browser.

Will you be using your ET handle or have you selected a different one for the contest? I know one other very talented trader who may enter into the manual trader category. If this trader enters, you will be up against some serious competition in that category. The trader I'm referring to doesn't...

Yeah, who gave away that mini cooper last time? I heard about it but didn't participate.

I have entered the September monthly trading contest being run at Interbank FX. You can watch my progress here: http://www.interbankfx.com/september.htm I am competing in the Expert Advisor division. My strategy is to put the pedal to the metal. I am confident I will end up on top. :D Is...

Try this site for legit and real time futures quotes on the currencies: (you have to sign up first) http://equivalentsrdc.cme.com:443/index.html

The futures trade Sunday 6:00 PM Eastern to Friday at 5:00 PM Eastern time, so it isn't a 7 day market. And as was stated, the futures take a 1 hour break between 5:00 PM Eastern and 6:00 PM Eastern - the "open". The only exchange that currently lists currency futures to my knowledge is...

Giving advice on message boards has been unhealthy for my financial health. Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

If you go with the XTrader API I presume you go through a broker, or can you do this directly through trend technologies just for quotes?

Is there a way to see the speed of the XTrader platform without committing, like a demo version?

How do you get a trial license of XTrader?

How much faster is IB's broker feed than IB's retail feed?

Just curious if you have used a globex terminal and if you have compared it to IB's datafeed for speed? Is there an API or a way to get quotes out of the globex terminal to feed systems?

I'm looking for the fastest way to get GLOBEX quotes. Right now I'm using Interactive Brokers' datafeed via the TWS API. What other alternatives are there that beat IB's datafeed in speed, how much does it cost and do you have a link? Note: I am far more concerned with speed than with...

Rather than getting locked into a set of rules with regards to how the market is supposed to act, I try to simply go with the flow. When the pattern of "jolt, retrace and continue" on news reports goes out the window, "go with the flow" will still be operative.

IB: I noticed I received +/- interest accruals on my August 16th statement. Is this something new, a mid-month thing or have I just not been paying attention?

If you're worrying about a 1 unit trade, you got problems, and it has nothing to do with your market maker.
