Viper, you might be right. It might be a technical issue with the platform. Remember that MT4 was never designed for all this "new stuff" and those Russian guys at MetaQuotes are not very helpful to innovators. Even when they try to help you, understanding them is a mission and a half! MT4...

Lon Eagle, I think you misinterpreted what I wrote when you said, "I am a bit unsure about your fixed spread quote." I never said that we get fixed spread quotes. To me, Fixed Spreads = Dealing Desk = Bend Over and Take it with no Vaseline! Our spreads vary all over the place, especially...

Viper, "institutional feed" is the term they use all the time. I guess I just picked it up like the flu! I guess that it means a feed that is made up of the aggregated liquidity of different liquidity providers - an "ECN" of liquidity providers I guess. Sorry for the half-ass definition. My...

Lon Eagle, when the trader got filled at 1.8759 the spreads were not going all out of whack. Why would the BIDs disappear if the news is positive for GBP? It would make sense for the ASK prices to dry up somewhat, but why the BIDs? The price for over an hour had not been as low as 1.8749. His...

BMF, You are right; there are few profitable FX traders. I only look for active day traders - preferably scalpers. Not interested in position trading. I don't have a fund. I don't want to. It's a pain in the rear end and I don't want to drown in regulation. I fund different traders...

Viper, I agree with you. I don't know what all the secrecy is about either. I think you're probably right about someone not running the stop. What I don't understand is the following... The Michigan numbers were positive for gbpusd, so it makes sense that providers would pull their...

BMF, It is worth the effort. From a trader's point of view, it is a pretty good platform. It's just that it was originally designed for brokers to rip off retail clients. We have access to clients from all over the world that want to invest with good forex traders. We fund these traders...

bigmrfrank, putting a variable-spread (Currenex-type) feed through MT4 has never been done before. It's uncharted territory. There are no experts on this subject out there - only amateurs.:) I simply fund traders. Even though I have "been around the block," you don't need a PhP to do this.

Viper, the charting feed does match the executable prices. I see the BID on the quote plotted pip by pip on the chart. It is just on this particular 1.8749 execution that the price did not show up on the chart. I know that Currenex is as good as the liquidity that the broker has relationships...

I have read an explanation from one of the MT Russian guys on this, but it's easier for me to understand a Chinese dictionary than their writing. What's the difference between an "off quotes" and "requote" message on MT4? I know that the "requote" message asks the trader if he wants to deal...

late apex, thanks for your reply and for your opinion on the stops. Please notice that the purpose of the post is not whether this trader's stop loss strategy is sound or not. I'm just trying to find out why was there a fill at a price that did not even show up on the chart and could not be...

Lon Eagle, thanks for the reply. I don't know who provides the feed. The firm tells me that they have confidentiality agreements with the liquidity providers. Right now I have a nondisclosure arrangement with them. I cannot disclose who the firm is yet. I don't know what you mean by "spoof...

Hi guys, I just had a conversation with the brokerage firm and I was told that MBFxi does not mean MB Trading. What he said makes sense. They still can't offer me an explanation as to what happened and they said they're looking into it with their liquidity providers. After the execution at...

Hi All: I know that many of you use MB Trading or EFX to trade because of their "ECN" functionality. I am testing an experimental product with a "proprietary" multi-liquidity provider feed, but I have reason to believe that MB is providing the feed. The "Server" name in the MT4 account has...

How does the speed of execution with TradeBolt to Currenex compare to that of Strategy Runner to Currenex? In what ways is TradeBolt better than Strategy Runner?

notouch, sorry for the dumb question I'm going to ask you: if it's not too much trouble, what is the DOS command to do this and the GUI tool? Sorry for the bother.

notouch, from my understanding, the order does not really go to the broker that offers Currenex, but to a Currenex server. Will the broker provide the address of this server for us to ping?

4X4Living, I don't feel confident yet with the platform's stability or speed of execution with Currenex. I might not use this at all at the end. Until I know something works, I won't recommend it. That's why I want to know about the latency issue. So far, no trader I have spoken to knows how...

Guys, I spoke to turbo on the phone today. Pretty cool guy and experienced trader. I assure you that he's not connected with Global in any way.

What "good things" have you heard turbo? Where did you hear them. That's what I'm trying to find out.
