Anyone heard from spieler? I'm really interested in knowing the size per clip he uses to scalp right after releases - without getting banned that is.

Thanks, I just PM'ed you back.

Hi spieler, I understand that you haven't been banned YET - but what size do you use to scalp right after news? Trade size is an important factor in this equation as well. Larger sizes make a bigger dent in a bank's armor.

late apex, do you have the spot turnover numbers from the Euromoney FX Poll 2006? I'm interested in getting the "official" numbers and knowing exactly what they mean.

Guys, we obviously haven't started running our experiments on Currenex yet to confirm everything fxsomebody has told me yet, but during our conversation he did mention that he was on vacation. Maybe that explains why he's taking longer to reply. I take my laptop everywhere (even on vacation)...

Nick, we are not trading on CX yet, despite having all our agreements with a few brokers in place. The set up we have at another firm is a rig similar to CX in principle, where you have a few banks posting liquidity. The greatest size we did there was $3.5 million a clip before we got shut down...

Nick, when you say: Do you mean with a $3 million account or trading $3 million a clip? During my conversation with fxsomebody, he said that the above rarely happens on CX and that only certain white label providers might do something like that. I can't wait to see that with my real eyes when...

Bitstream, we don't want to deal with trading two pairs at the same time. The scalps are occurring when the market is moving extremely fast, so there's not that much time to do many things. fxsomebody works for Currenex and asked me not to disclose his personal information. Currenex does not...

I stand corrected. Thanks fxsomebody for clearing up a lot of things about Currenex, HotSpot, and Lava on the phone. I really appreciate it. I'm a little more at ease now about proceeding with our little Currenex experiments. If all is as you say, and I see no reason why it shouldn't be, we...

Don't think futures will work. One of our traders is a successful futures scalper and he told me that we won't have the liquidity we need if we go that route.

I know that some of you "scalp" on Currenex (I believe Viper is one). As I mentioned on some of my prior posts, we have been in the process for quite some time of finding a permanent home for our scalpers. We are almost done with a customized front end to execute on Currenex which we will...

RapidFireFX, are you in the UK? I thought about fiber from the UK to the US, but don't know if it's possible from the rural part of the UK the trader is located. Any idea what's the best way to research availability and price for something like this? Sorry for all the questions.

What difference does this make? The programmer says that it will work with ODL's Currenex. ODL says that it will work as well. Why is it better/worse to do what we're doing?

Hi Futures Man. I don't want to use SR. I don't want to rely on a software that charges me a transactional fee for using Currenex - nor I want to be tied to a platform that might be discontiued or something and then I'll be out of luck.

Viper, right now I have a programmer working on a quick order entry front end for our manual scalpers that will work with Currenex. It uses the Currenex Java API. He has gone back and forth one the phone with Adasa from Currenex to make sure they provided him what he needs. We will eventually...

Someone in the past mentioned how to chart Currenex data from our broker (I believe it was either Viper or Lon Eagle). I totally misplaced that information. What are the possible ways to chart Currenex data and are there programs already out there that do this? Any of these programs...

You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the "Dark Broker" Zone!

bugscoe, games? Common! They just want to be good samaritans and help humanity for free!

Oh, I forgot to ask one thing on my last post Lon Eagle: Who is your ISP at work and what is the service you have there as well?

If it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck...
