What do you mean by "wholesale fills". Its a straight up central limit-order book, there is nothing more to see/know really. Or do you want to see trading activity/T&S-data? It is published on Reuters only (ticker EURUSD.LMX for example) - unfortunately not available over api or fix...

You can watch their book here: https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/lmax-widget3/website-widget-vwap.html I my opinion they are pretty good for G8 FX, but IB is better in some of the minors like MXN, CNH, RUB. And their index products need more marketmakers to be even remotely interesting.

Not so sure about that. How many worthwhile LPs are there really in FX. On Hotspot there are now only ~20 left, after they kicked all the useless ones with low fill ratios out. Personally i am using lmax only nowadays. They got the top 10 FX banks, 4 other banks and a few HFTs on their...

blue: if you are an U.S. resident and not a ECP, i suppose you are out of luck. If not, there are quite a few firms that can do lower commissions than IB in London (Lmax, Fixi, LCG and others).

bluerain: whats your ballpark monthly volume?

I remember that one: http://i.imgur.com/Ttw3gFN.png Nothing got busted on that day. If anything, i would prefer amending a trade rather than busting it, but it seems the exchanges dont agree.

Dunno, i always immediately click on the back-button when i see one of those JH text-walls somewhere..

So Advantage Futures will have to stop offering NT ?

No you can't..

Giving up on this?

Apparently it lasted about a year.

You can on Reuters. I suggest getting a lmax demo account for your questions and see for yourself.

Lmax traded volume is published on Reuters in realtime. Symbol EURUSD.LMX for example. Its not published on FIX or api.

I think eSignal does it best. Many can do it, but not as convenient. You can just type in a forumla instead of a symbol, for example: "MSFT - GOOG" or "GOOG / 2*MSFT" and voila.

Why do threads like this only ever pop up on FX boards? The futures/options/equities boards have their fair share of stupidity, but nothing on this order of magnitude..

Its what retail FX traders call "hedging". Being long and short in the same pair at the same time (and paying swaps and bid/ask-spread, and possibly commissions for the privilege). Apparently they do not understand that it nets out to zero exposure. I think it is very amusing.

Here is a real one: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/05/23/us-barclays-regulations-gold-idUSBREA4M06620140523 Apparently one of their traders pushed the spot gold price down a few cents during the fixing procedure, to avoid having to pay out a digital option to one of their clients...

Does your guardian know that you are posting here?

Did you hedge the 3810 touch ?
