There is "tangible client demand" for yet another FX trading venue? In London, above all places? If it were possible to fail harder than Eurex-US, i think these guys could do it.

Most Eurex corporations are in Switzerland by now, if im not mistaken. The only exchange of note affected by this would be Xetra, i suppose.

I wouldn't call functional languages in a trading role exotic at this point anymore.

12 million? Sounds like a steal.

Not too much to ask? You can try MBTrading - they have a free API, and you can use C# with that. But you will most of the time only get a fill if the market trades through your bid/offer. This is nothing like trading in a liquid stock or future where there dozens of trades per minute. You...

Is this a proprietary datafeed with some in-house protocol? If yes, its likely that you need a software that supports the development of dataconnections by the end-user. There are a few. For example Neoticker. It has a SDK that enables you to develop your own data- as well as...

There is L2 information on ECNs. For Eur/Usd, a 10M 2-way quote is usually 1.1 to 1.4 pips wide on the better ECNs (Hotspot/Currenex). Obviously depends on the time of day. And obviously on the pair in question. Presumably EBS is deeper still (meaning smaller spread on bigger size). Although...

MB does not go through Penson for FX - stocks/options/futures etc. do, but not FX.

I did not follow this really, but surely, the UK will veto this BS, as they always do? BTW, as far as i know, Eurex matching is already done in Swizerland, so may not even be affected. Sounds like Xetra would be the biggest loser with this. Chi-X, Bats-Europe etc. are in UK, and most of the...

Oanda uses midpoint bid/ask charts, your CME charts are last-trade px charts. Just sayin..

Legitimate russian businessman. I will pass.

That got me confused as well, thought it was outright broken in the beginning. And i cant think of any scenario where haveing an incorrect y-scale for a plot might make sense.

I just had a look at CME's micro contracts again. Apparently bid/ask-spread has improved since the last time i checked a few months ago. Looks like its mostly 1 tick now too, in the EuroFX atleast. Used to be pretty bad.

1 to 1.5 pips after commission is pretty much standard. For example, IB or Oanda. They dont requote either. But go ahead pay 3 to 4 on CME if you must..

I have actually read the court filing on this racketeering bs case. It has zero substance. Losing clients sue all the time. Futures brokers too, not only FX firms, you know. This is not specific to FX. Plenty of regulatory action against fcms too.

Its the new aluminium, especially designed to prevent the brainwaves RSJ sends out to enter the poor point&click traders heads, so they can't continue with their evil plan to cheat & frontrun. (My speller is in german, apparently these things aren't bilingual yet)

So 2.5 ticks spread on average + 1.75 ticks in commissions + questionable liquidity situation, that doesn't sound attractive to me. You shouldn't really pay much more than 1 pip per roundturn (spread + commission). If you are in the trade for a few days the transaction costs probably wont matter...

So now they do actually frontrun an cheat? :) I have heard amuminium hats have been proven to be effective against your condition..

Yes, still no wholesale rates, but way better than IB anyways. http://fxtrade.oanda.com/lang/de/analysis/interest-calculator P.S. a future is an exchange traded forward, technically..
