Pablo, scalping will get you kicked out of every retail broker in town; including OANDA. The same thing goes for latency arbitrage. If you want to scalp, go to Currenex. Where do you scalp right now and how have you been getting away with it?

Thanks 4X4Living and late_apex. That's exactly what I need. :)

4X4Living, thanks. There's a way to open a position with one click though. I just don't know where to find it.

Does anyone know if one-click entries and exits are possible on MT4? I know that MT4 does not have this feature "out of the box," but I spoke to a trader once who told me that this was possible with some extra "tools" that are already available on the web. I looked them, but can't find...

For some reason, swing traders hate scalpers. It's obvious in every trading forum. I work with scalpers in our business and happen to think that they're among the most skilled traders around. Yes; scalping is hard work, but scalping also brings an extra element of risk control to the table...

This should be moved to Forex Trading.

Will do, RG. Sorry about the amnesia!

RapidFireFX, do I know you? How do you want me to contact you?

Stay away from this firm. I just received the email below from a really good trader who was investigating them:

donperry, we never try to split the spread. this decreases your chances of being filled in a very fast market - the only time we trade.

fxrelease, i have had a live view of hotspotfxi for about a month and don't ever recall seeing choice spreads (of course, i haven't been staring at the screen every second). i have placed this feed side by side and the spreads are always wider than cx.

I've seen the same thing, LonEagle. I agree with you. Better spreads on CX than HotSpotFxi and definitely not the other way around.

From my experience, the spreads on HotSpotFxi are nowhere as good as a few of the popular Currenex hubs.

There are only two firms that don't use the standard Currenex model (that all other Currenex brokers use): Man and FXCM Pro. Man has their own unique network (as I'm told by Currenex insiders), but it is still based on multiple banks providing liquidity. FXCM, on the other hand, just plug...

Dear Jood, there are a lot of posts about both of these companies. Do a search (upper right hand corner) for each one and you'll see. Personally, I would stay away from FXCM (see my past posts and others). I haven't used OANDA. Some people here like them, but if you are an "extreme scalper"...

The problem with Strategy Runner (based on the information that I've gathered so far) is that you can only use it with a brokerage firm that has a special SR server installed. From the brokers I have spoken to, only Man and I think now ADM have it. Am I correct here in my assumptions?

Good one, Nick.

A few months back, a Currenex broker told me the following about trading through EBS... "EBS prime compared to the liquidity I can give you on our Currenex is minimal. There are also set-up costs of around $20000 not including a radianz direct line. There are also fixed monthly costs of...

Futures_Man, thank you for the info. We have used strategy runner in the past, but we don't need all the "bells and whistles." We are manually scalping and don't use the sophisticated stuff SR provides. SR also charges a fee per transaction. I don't like this idea. It basically increases our...

It doesn't seem that many people are charting Currenex. Anyway, I got a reply yesterday from Modulus regarding their StockChartX product. They said that Currenex is also playing around with it. This was confirmed initially by my source at Currenex. In an earlier email reply, Modulus said...
