yes otherwise i wldn't be posting... but feel free to comment, provide inputs etc, this is a board to exchange info...

dude, just follow yr heart here... in any case there will always be days where you'll come to regret not taking the other choice. and then days where u'll realize that all the choices are still open to you if you are determined enough... its all in the mind... clearly GS is the 'reasonable'...

yeah but not 4 u guys :-)))))))) sorry... i hear citi so wants to kick deutsche & ubs's ars*s and get to the top of the fx league, that they r offering 1 pip fixed spreads on majors, all weathers, to a bunch of regular single broker-dealers, just to get their (mostly 'friendly') flow! ->...

and who r u just registered mike?

chood... refcofx was just a more integrated version of a white label of fxcm... in all likelihood, the clients margin monies r actually sitting on fxcm's accts, trading on fxcm credit lines etc... the only question is whether those monies belong to the refco DIP (bankruptcy estate) or to the...

any known bidders?

skaranam - which broker r u using? seems they r just charging u cost of carry for the overnight trade. 7 pips is pretty high except if its a weds o/n charge, i.e. 3x normal amount, but i don't understand yr dates (jan 2005???)... anyway why don't u ask THEM first?

i never used their new java platform, only the flash... not perfect but rather good on balance, for a single-broker dealer type platform

dunno, i don't do that, risk/reward no good imho... easy enough for them to trigger yr order, AND yr stop loss, ahead of the figure if they choose to... just one of those quick 20 pips whipsaws, just for yr acct, or across the book... nothing's ever 100% but thats pretty much true. but then...

they must have improved then, i've had situations of 1 pip slippage in slo mo mkts, fairly rarely, perhaps 2 pips in faster moving mkts once or two in 12 months, but as often in my favour as in theirs to be fair... until they decided to systematically shift the spreads against me on trade exit...

forgit objectivity pal! if your a swing trader, or yr trading pattern at ACM looks like that of a swing trader, u have nothing much to worry about. if your a scalper, and they find out, u've been warned, its that simple!

agree but one cld create a nice PR mess for them - simply by showing that ACM doesn't hesitate to offer wildly different prices away from market to different customers at the very same time, and over long periods of time (hours actually, if one is willing to wait that long) - that cld maybe...

late apex is correct, thats price / quote arbitrage on a given currency pair, that they are referring to am amazed the ACM guy put that down in writing though... that wldn't help them too much should a client bring a case against them before a fair trade commission type court... mmmhhh...

thks! v.honest answer from them. doesn't that and the rest of the info i have posted earlier in the thread answer yr question though?

correct, although there are ways to profit from it but not immensely...

if you don't mind 'individual pricing' to the tune of 1-7 pips against you when you are into a position, and can live with spreads widening up to 30, even 70 pips sometimes and completely outside of news announcements etc (dealer getting mad or system glitches...) for a few minutes at a time...

using high lev too... which broker(s) do u use if u dont mind me asking?

good enough i guess, and glad to hear u r happy with their platform, but which other brokers have you live-traded with to say that fxcm is the best?

early to end 2004, good firm, their spreads were pretty ok, although acm was better on cable thats one of the reasons i switched at the time. also, their back-office was terrible, nowhere near real-time which was annoying... but i heard their new platform (version?) takes care of all those...

really?? how many have you used, i mean live, not demo? i've tried and am still using depending on circumstances, acm, forex.com, oanda, ifxmarkets, saxobank, currenex via fxcmpro & another access provider, hotspotfxi... the fxcm retail platform never appealed to me, altho' i only tried their...
