You could use IB or Oanda for major ccys, if you don't transfer to 3rd parties. Oanda had a really competitive physical delivery service, with which you could transfer to 3rd parties too. They charged a $25 flat fee per transaction, and the FX rates were tight(1 to 2 pips in the majors). But...

What is this for? 26 pips transaction cost is nasty in the liquid paris. Surely your broker can do better?

You may have mok, but possibly lack in wit..

EUR/USD px is 1.3215, 0.2% of that is 0.0026 so its 26 pips in this case. Its not exactly rocket-science..

You are unable to calculate 0.2% of a FX rate?

How is lolcode complicated? Took me 3 minutes to implement a winning strategy: BTW hai.lol CAN HAS STDIO? CAN HAS TALIB? PLZ OPEN LIB "TALIB.dll"? AWSUM THX VISIBLE "K.." O NOES INVISIBLE "ERRROR!!!!! HAZ NO TALIB" HAI 1.2 VISIBLE "START MAEKING...

Right-click the "TradelinkSuite"-solution in the solution-explorer, click 'Configuration manager' and uncheck all broker projects in the Build-column. You should really get a introduction book on VisualStudio and c#..

Undoubtly, LCode. There is also a .NET implementation here.

You have to exclude the broker-connector projects from building. You are most likely missing the references to the libraries for these.

Pretty sure Obama is kkk too.

def: that would be interesting. Is it enough to only make a single FX trade per quarter to qualify? And i assume only PnL from 'real' fx trades is used to calculate profitability, and not FX pnl on foreign stock trades? What about XAU spot trades? Personally i find it moot to distinguish -...

def: i have always wonderd, who does count as a FX trader in these statistics? If i trade, for example, GBP-denominated stocks from an account with USD as base-ccy, that would automatically involve a fx transaction, would i count as an fx-trader toward your statistics? There must be whole lot of...

There is no last-look on EBS. But there are other problems with historical data, because what you will see on your screen depends on your prime broker. You will see only quotes from counterparties your prime broker has a relationship with. And the data you can get from ICap is most likely the...

There are options for hedging o/n or weekend gaps. Google for 'daily cliquets' or 'crash notes'. They are traded OTC so probably not accessible for smalltimers. And why would you think an exchange with weekend trading would help you with this. Price would just gap down on high impact news...

If you want to use c++ or c# for excel, XLW is really nice. Its really easy to use. Not sure if you can use it for submitting trades and such, but for implementing calculations its good. http://xlw.sourceforge.net/

No, i have only ever traded my own money. My opinion about the matter is that LL may have served a legit purpose, but today even the traditional sell-side MMs should have caught up in technology, and there is really no good reason why it is still there. Every other liquid market works...

HFT: do you have last look privileges on hotspot or currenex ? That sounds like it would be rather convenient for a hft-firm if you can sit on an order for n milliseconds, and then decide to either fill or reject it. Basically a license to print money, if n is large enough. OTOH, it sounds...

You must be new to open source projects..

This market is already so saturated, its a very tough proposition. You are like 10 years late to the party. Success will almost exclusivly depend on how good your marketing/sales force is. There are service providers who can set up all the tech and regulatory stuff, but getting the punters to...
