MB-Trading high at NFP was 86.06'4 bid / 86.09'7 ask (so 0.3 pip below your stop). Oanda's high was was at 86.01'5 / 86.11'5 (1.5 pip above). Alpari apparently at 86.03'4 / 86.12'1 If you compare the midprice, its 1.6 pip difference between the highest and the lowest. Not really...

Yes, they never used to do advertising of any kind. The singapore branch appears to have a different stance.. In contrast to most other retail brokers, they dont use "introducing brokers" either.

Same goes for margin, its per ccy pair and not per amounts. But still, 50x is plenty, even with this.

But you do actually trade with IB ? Commission is $20 per 1m USD traded. For 1m eur/usd its $20 * eur/usd rate. So its ~$26 or or 0.26 pip, one way. Double that, since you have to exit your trade too, and add 0.5 pip spread.

Huh? 0.5 pip spread +0.2*1.30 + 0.2*1.30 = 1.02 Pip (with eur/usd @ 1.30) - and thats assuming a constant 0.5 pip spread, which is not the case.

Marketmaker or not (and Oanda is a marketmaker, no way around that), i don't really care. The only thing that counts is competitive pricing and good execution. I'm staring at quotes from different providers pretty much all day, and my opinion is that Oanda can easily compete with the rest of...

You guys are able to read, right? "except pursuant to a rule or regulation of a Federal regulatory agency allowing the agreement, contract, or transaction under such terms and conditions as the Federal regulatory agency shall prescribe" Meaning, NFA or Cftc registered firms wont be affected.

Market order = execution certainty while limit-order = price certainty. You cant have both. Which is filled first depends. Globex/ES has price/time-priority. Every order that crosses the spread has priority (price), be it a market-order or a marketable limit-order, after that the criteria is...

http://instaforex.com/data/team_all.jpg Thats all i need to know really.. There are quite a few comedy highlights in the CVs too: http://instaforex.com/de/team.php Has anyone actually been able to find a physical street address for them on the site? I only see some phone...

No spread symbol tool ? :(

Neoticker is $100 per month. Its more capable than TS in pretty much everything, but at the same time its way more difficult to use. Ii.e. EasyLanguage vs. the languages supported in Neo, or setting up and optimizing scans, but you can do more with it. Its not good for fast manual order-entry...

No revenue during a long period without new equity-highs - is that economically feasable (for how long)? There is a tendency for firms that are way down off the high watermark to close down and start a "new" product, which is basically the same but the watermark is reset. Wouldn't your model...

What's the usual compensation for CTAs? Something like 20/2 with high-watermark like for HFs?

Its all moot if you use a sane risk-mgmt and/or positionsizing scheme, then it shouldn't matter because you will never come close to the margin call level anyways regardless of what level of leverage the firm extends to you. But in theory, if you go all-in (without stop) on a 50:1 basis, and...

Prearranged trades are against exchange rules. At least i know for sure it is on Eurex, and its reasonable to assume the same is the case for CME and other exchanges - for obvious reasons. So these trades may very well be canceled by the exchange anyways. Also, i'm not a lawyer, but this...

Yes, there are many options, even for free. Guessing it depends what good charting means in your book. Mt4 sucks if you use multiple monitors and doesnt even have a decent quoteboard. A good free solution is Ninjatrader 7 + MBTrading. Personally i use Neoticker. Others may have equally...

They are poblishing that as well: http://www.euromoney.com/Article/2465584/Euromoney-FX-survey-2010-Methodology.html They have got a great cover designer. Love their caroons.

Sorry, but i felt an unexplainable sudden urge to quote this..
