You are quite right, without hard numbers and showing significance in a differential, there isn't a lot to be said. The post was intended to show one methodology in directly testing a broker, instead of just asking if they create or skew their market. I also don't want to bash brokers...

Hi, thanks for the comment. As for liquidity, you would be trading directly with the Tier 1 liquidity providers. So lots of liquidity. Because we don't have a dealing desk, if you ask for too much, there is no requoting, your order will be rejected. But orders up to 100 full lots shouldn't be...

Sorry CableTrader didn't mean to forget about you, we are based in the United States.

Hi and thanks! You know, you are absolutely right if we were acting as a counterparty to our client trades. Meaning that we are able to take the other side of our clients trades, trade against you and hope you lose, run and hunt stops, etc, etc, etc. We've actually gone to great legal lengths...

If you ever backtest on forex, especially in reference to optimizations, keep in mind that most brokers are market makers, not that they are evil, but it means that their quotes differ (as opposed to stocks and futures which are centralized.) Combine that with the fact that they draw from...

Sorry for violating protocol. But truth be told, no counterparty, period, so no bucket. As for the alias, it's me, I swear. Well, I can't account for all my sanity, most of it is gone, but the rest of me is there. I think : - )

Oops, forgot. Wire transfers in, and back out. We aren't a commercial enterprise so no credit card or paypal options.

We are a group of autotraders that started our own brand new brokerage that just launched. Our technology was just recently completed. We use Metatrader4, with custom direct-connections to the liquidity providers. So it's not your typical MT4. It is important to note that we are NOT a large...

Most of us here are high frequency, scalping autotraders. Ours is a new brokerage created by a bunch of autotraders. Trader 5of7 @ TheCollectiveFX.com

We had the same thoughts of somehow moving back to futures for our currency trades with our frustration with brokers. Eventually, we stuck with FOREX, but had to do it the hard way. Ourselves. But the end result was that the pure interbank pricing/spreads once you strip out broker...

We asked the same question. The problem is that they all draw from different liquidity providers who in themselves have different markets. So even if you could see their "internal" prices, who knows what they show us traders?!?! The BIG BIG question is whether they create a market "just...

I wanted to double-down in the 60s, but the drug-induced stupor, and the politics of the era, it just... er, what forum am I in? Isn't this the Political Disestablishmentarianism Forum? Damn those drugs! 5of7 @ TheCollectiveFX.com

Sadly, it's true. I started trading Futures, and actually did make money day trading. But being the ADD Challenged, Emotional Overachiever, uh, I meant to say, Emotional Overtrader... ... morning profits, would be eaten up by ghost signals that were created by a mind-numbed bored mind by...

We do so much analysis, "clean" data has been a way of life for me. So I've been collecting tick data for forex direct from clean liquidity provider sources (bid and ask). So if anyone needs them, msg me. I don't have lots yet with both bid/ask, but if you can use minute data, I have clean...

Good thing it's only semi-human. Me as a human have so many emotional issues, switching to autotrading was the only way my trading life survived. I even had to ban myself from interfering with my systems. I know, I know. I am a bad human. Signed, "The Emotionally Impaired Bad Human"...

We moved to dedicated servers a couple years ago, and haven't looked back. We started by renting dedicated servers at a colo service, but eventually found it much more cost effective and better in terms of control to get our own. So what we ended up doing for our personal trading is to...
