I don't know..I've not studied law (did you?)... The Forex-ECN's made by the Brokers, are not regulated as well, but the budgets you hold with them are {at least, in case of the IB-ECN the budgets are in the Futures-Account and protected (SIPC and Lloyd’s of London)}. And the fact the ECN's...

Well I would not recommend any use of Market-Orders (but that's my opinion)..if you want to have more chance to get filled, and have a fair price then use a Limit-order a few ticks above the market (then YOU control the slippage...not the counterparty). About bucketshops: they will exist as...

Yes but also execution-credits...(I have to admite I forgot the Options...{probably because I do not trade these markets}). Look I will not defend these modification-fees at all {I hate them as well}, they are enforced by some EXCHANGES (not IB) to protect/prevent them from excessive (read...

Well, then you have not yet downloaded and read the document I pointed a few post back >> Please read chapter 2 and 3 and you know how fair IB is. (and maybe you learn something more). ???? Please be critical with "hearsay".... Understand that any routing-system is a "transport in time and...

Not completely correct (although I agree that this is why bucketshops are popular)...For instance the IB minimum size is 25K Dollar or 20K Euro (and then 1 unit increases from these levels)... A $25K trade is equal to a Margin-need of about $500 Dollar...so quite possible to trade with a small...

Try one of the ECN-Forex-models: 1) IB 2) Hotspot 3) CoesFX 4) MBtrading 5) Lava 6) Currenex. {If you need more info about the differences between the two models, and/or want to know when it might be better to select FX-Futures instead of FX-cash, then download and read the document...

You might take a look at ButtonTrader (it can do this).

And the last, the run up to 1,1950...and now a whole lot of Market-Buy-orders...panic? (which shows the spikes, with vertical gaps in the tickchart)

The next, is 1 minute after the run up to 1.1915, and then again a resistance-block on 1.1910:

I made some screenshots with ButtonTrader, which shows what happened (although I was several minutes too late {was not watching the market at that time}: I did not see 20,000 or 30,000 lots...but "only" 10.000). The first shows the resistance-block on 1.1900:

Yes, it is a MS-Word document zipped in a zip-file (just unzip it, and if you don't have Word, then I can help you with a free Word-viewer).

I like to hear from some one who has another feed than IB..some one has a confirmation ? This is tooooo strange to be true.

No it went up and I saw it on one of the Bids, now the chart goes down,and again 10K on the Ask

Tjee...

For anyone interested, the "Forex document", is ready and downloadable from this page: http://www.buttontrader.com/content.asp?lang=en&page=8 Hope you like it, and that it has some educational value for you.

From the Netherlands I have 78 to 94 ms;

ButtonTrader will do nearly all: 1] Yes: you can use the Message-price-lable, it will not only show the text but also launch a popup-and-sound-signal when its price is hit 2] Yes, several one click sounds (even different sounds for the price going up, or down,...and walking...

For 80% of all issues you can use ButtonTrader's support, which is "damn good" as well. In 20% of the other issues that might happen, ButtonTrader support will assist you in dealing with IB.

Yep it's on the the WebSite now: JPY 2% http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/marginRequirements/currency.php Also the new SEK and MXN are listed, but these Tickers are not yet running on IDEALPRO (I can request them on IDEAL but no realtime quotes yet).

Ahh...thank you for the correction...and good to hear that HongKong and Australia are ok... I must admit I have my info about Kospi mostly from "hearsay"...I did some test trades on the Kospi-front-month and they traded like a Futures-market (so really well)...but did not look at the other...
