No. Just no. This is not the case for Canada as a whole. Sigh... Some provinces have other restrictions for FX, namely Alberta just flipped some stuff around to require people to meet some extra requirements before they trade. However, residents of most other provinces are left alone...

In futures, you get a value per tick, per contract. That value isn't just made up, it has to relate to the quoted price multiplied by the exposure of the contract itself. Example: if you buy 1 contract of 6E, you are exposing yourself to 125k worth of Euros' value as it trades against the...

I think the sarcasm came from the OP asking what's next after the Euro fails (but he put EUR/USD in error, as if that pair "fails" then so do all EUR crosses,) and you suggested another Euro based pair. Logically it doesn't make sense.

Yeah, for that kinda stuff Dukascopy is a good choice. They'll do FIX and JForex API trading.. execution and liquidity are good but if you're doing such a high frequency of trades then maybe you'll need to test them out first and see if their execution speed will fit your needs (they are fast...

Ok, Oanda is not your 'average' FX broker. They do things a tad differently: Most FX brokers have a minimum deposit of a few hundred, some a few thousand, but Oanda's is just $1. Can't do much with just $1, but Oanda says that's their minimum. Lot size wise, most brokers follow standard...

...wait, so you gave them your algo specifications BEFORE you got an NDA signed? You paid them upfront? I got some swampland in Florida you might be interested in. Prime development property! PM me. :) :P

Keep getting into all-or-nothing trades like that and you'll land on the 'nothing' result.

This! Their school section is fantastic. They even have a testing and quiz module recently added so you can test how well you're understanding things.

Personally, I found DOM trading to work best in markets with fixed tick levels and centralized quotes/book (futures.) The fractional pip pricing and lack of a centralized order book makes DOM trading on spot forex not quite that awesome. MC itself is a good platform though.

Good luck with that... they won't budge on spread on standard accounts. If you ask them about it, even showing that you do volume, they'll suggest you go to their active trader platform, which will reduce the total cost a bit. The minimum deposit for AT is $50,000.. but they'll let you...

Well, it sounds like your API requirements are rather light.. which isn't to downplay your needs, just it sounds like a lot of other options might suit you without going the full API way. Is there something specific about Java you need? You could use any broker that does MetaTrader and use...

You're going to find negative reviews of every broker, as well as many fake positive reviews. If you go by what you find online, you'll never settle on a broker... Just make sure the broker is well regulated, well established, and you can short list it from there. As for API trading...

I was referring to hardware architecture emulation, you know..32bit vs 64bit hardware differences, not a software based OS layer that's in place for compatibility. Difference in terminology. In any case, we can keep going back and forth like this if you'd like, I'd just rather be...

Ahh.. my mind is wrapped in the linux world when it comes to programming and software development. In a lot of cases, it's handled by a new group of libraries and a kernel that can manage both.. sometimes that means extra bloat on the process side, but the performance hit (usually, can't speak...

Hey, that's cool.. looks like the developers of that app focused solely on the 64bit architecture and hardware... Which app is this? The 64bit OS plus 32bit binary should be the same as the 32-32 setup.. so that's an odd result. There isn't any emulation going on since the architecture is...

Increases memory limits to above 4Gb per process on a system already running a 64bit OS... which most trading platforms don't even approach such limits on their own. As for your 30% claim, do post some sort of reference to that which shows a 30% increase in performance for workloads relevant...

See, it's shit like this that makes me not even want to bother responding to you. I'm getting really tired of your inferences and putting words in my mouth. Read carefully and understand context (you know, the skills you learn in grade school) or stop responding. I never said "no performance...

Oh! Good, thought you were posting from the US and I don't know their tax code well enough.. Trading income, if deemed by the CRA to be taxed as your sole income (so like standard income tax with slightly more business-style deductions.. ie, professional income).. is still a progressive...

EAs and custom indicators do this as well. They are plentiful. You can even construct custom indexes to your own weighting as an indicator to display along side the chart. Screeners, scanners, etc... all available. Not out of the box, but way more flexible than some platforms since you...
