But these two providers do provide last-look to their marketmakers.

Is this on demo? Another explanation might be throttled marketdata.

Sure, you are going to beat KCG and the likes to the fill. A good broker is all you need, right?

Dunno, but BBG has the prettiest girls at their booths at finance fairs.

But if you start an arbitration and lose. Here is a similar case. A client ended up with a 30K negative balance. Didnt want to pay and started a NFA arbitration. The decision was he had to pay the 30K and 26K legal fees on top of it...

My guess is that sooner or later lmax will stop access for retail too.

Damn commies. America should consider airstrikes. They need to be reminded who lost the cold war. Where is McCain when you need him?

Sounds like OP needs the basics. Like "what is an order" and such. http://www.amazon.com/Algorithmic-Trading-DMA-introduction-strategies/dp/0956399207/ This is a good introduction.

Starting a NFA arbitration without a good chance to win it can be dangerous, since you will have to pay IB's legal expenses if you outright lose the case. There was another similar case with a futures firm, NFA decided against the customer, and he had to pay an additional 20K on top of what he...

What are you talking about. The low was 0.9704 mid-px. There is no possible way you would have produced a loss of 30k with a 10K position. Even a fill @0.0000 would result in loss of only ~$15K.

Not really. The pair dropped like 2200 pips, so if you get filled on the low the account would be ~1200 in the red in your example. I understand many people were short CHF for a tiny bit of carry, with insane leverage to make it worth it a little more. Madness.

FXCM has not just the retail business, but also owns Lucid Markets (institutional fx mm/hft) and Fastmatch. These two alone gotta be worth something. Lucid was pulling in >100mm profits in 2013(i think), and its only a 15 man operation. Also their retail business turned a profit, have...

I wish the european govts would have let more banks go bankrupt instead of bailing them out with tax money.

Tickquest stopped developing their software since like 2 years ago. Apparently they still sell it, but it does not get any updates of any kind.

I am not an institution, i just want a somewhat convenient frontend for currenex and hotspot for orderentry and a blotter. I dont need charts or autotrading. I think mc could be ok for this (but it looks like this project got canned).

The main spot FX ECN starting with Hotspot..

Did this ever materialize or is this yet another mc product that got cxled?

Probably got in the way of paying ET customers like bone.
