It is now more clear than ever how unprofessional TradeStation has become in their coverage of the spot currency market. One type of server failure results in all charts becoming blank --> "Waiting for data..." It is clear no one in that entire organization has ever invested or traded. They...

I will look up the name of who I spoke with. He indicated that retail clients would have STP access via a broker. Their bids and offers would be reflected in the NBBO. In the end the brokers offering FX Marketspace would win client market share by providing solid access and low fees just like...

"I am not going to post color and comments from speaking with CME FX Marketspace staff as it is better that they speak for themselves- call them up, they are most available to discuss... " My understanding of FX Marketspace from speaking with them is that it is intended for retail on up...

I have not traded positions of size with CMC Markets spot currency for some time, intentionally... but have maintained an account with them for observation and other undisclosed purposes. Although I have found them to honor orders placed, they consistently have had major "outage problems"...

"The forex dealers, however have been getting it right and offering amazing deals to retail customers for several years now" You are joking, right? What occurs with most spot fx buckets illustrates how every financial regulatory body has zero effectiveness... Some decent offerings with...

Initial Impressions: Pathetic offering. Would not execute $1 USD notional with them. LOL

I think that this has a legitimate shot at flying because there are 2 major financial institutions involved. Why would Reuters cannibalize there current currency offerings unless they were deadly serious? Attempts to centralize spot are not new. How much further in the future until...

Surprised that there is not more discussion about this venture given the sheer massive volume of inquiries and talk about FX buckets. My understanding is that this offering will be geared from retail on up...

For quite a while this was one of the primary IB IDEAL Pro FX threads - since then there have been a thousand splinters. Would like to see this come back as the #1 thread for IB Forex as there is a wealth of information on here already...

As mentioned, with IDEAL Pro you s/b able to place bids/offers where you wish...

Finally - will be great to see come to fruition. If it flies in full effect, s/ see the investment banking firms have some "fun" accepting a new playing field... If they truly show all participants quotes? - Money

The MMs are operating at their own full schedule for their prop and market making as they see fit. What they provide for IB via IDEAL Pro a different matter...

thx for the info, will review in more detail... PCs running OEM installed OS

Currently running Microsoft Windows XP - worst ever. Any advice on a resource that can fix little problems with the OS? For example sometimes when I right click over the Start Button on the Desktop to open Windows Explorer, the Desktop crashes. This also happens sometimes when I try to do...

Look on this thread and around this site. $#% SaxoBank

Ask Oanda 2 questions: 1. What happens when your trading systems/servers go down (And yes all of you out there on Oanda's Kool Aid - they do go down though Oanda seems to like denying it)? 2. How will my large orders (6-7 figures for a private trader) be prioritized behind those trading $1...

FWIW, if you look at most agreements for any financial data service, brokerage, etc., etc. that communicates or transacts anything electronically related to investments and trading, you will find similar legal armor. Also, one thing to consider, in many negotiations and contracts, each side...

Those are excellent points - I was thinking a lot about the organic/evolution related aspects of information sharing on the internet when writing this up. 2 possibilities that would be great: Primary Thread: "Broker X" Sub Thread 1 "Broker X Topic A" Sub Thread 2 "Broker X Topic B" Sub...

The purpose of this thread is to make an organizational point that the Forex Brokers Forum is getting too fragmented. For example, recently the primary thread that discussed Interactive Brokers IDEAL Pro FX was "IB new forex spreads". Another extensive thread has been "IB or Oanda or ????"...
