Cheers for the feedback.

I use Hotspot, Lava and Currenex. I don't quite undertsand your point. Say you are short of cable and leave a stop at 1.7600. I appreciate you saying that Hotspot only fill you if it goes 1.7600 bid. However if the spread is wide (as it quite often is when not in New York and London time)you...

If I trade with a broker 9rather than an ECN) I get, for example, 2 pips on euro dollar. They only fill stop losses if the market trades there. If there platform happened to trade the price and I got stopped out, but the EBS never traded the rate, then I am re-instated.

I work with someone who had a live account with MBT. He used to trade at prices that were not even shown on their platform- when he queried it he was told the bid or offer had frozen and so was filled at another price that was never shown on the platform. Needless to say he closed his...

Still long from 1.1885. Move stop profit up to 1.2137.

Nothing has chngaed then in the past 6/9months. Awful reliability - leave well alone.

Still long from 1.1885 as advised earlier in thread. Move stop profit up to 1.2113 - guaranteeing minimum 228 pips profit.

Raise my stop on the long suggested to 1.2009, locking in a minimum 124 pips.

As I have just said on another thread I would be very careful and wary of this firm. It gives a London address but would not appear to be regulated by the FSA. My understanding is to carry our margin FX in the UK you must be regulated.

Yes PB is prime broker. In London Cantors, Man , ODL London Capital will all act as a broker for RBS. They will trade for individuals not just corporates. Not sure of minimum account size but I know you are really expected to trade in say $1/2m+ per trade.

Get yourself an account with a PB like RBS, either direct or via a broker. Then set up an account with various ECNs like Currenex, Lava and hotpsot via the one PB. At the end of every day if you are long with one ECN and short with another it all sets off. Avoid all the other ECNs like MBT -...

Every bit of logic says be short - following cable and $ yen, but it cant go lower. Look at the euro crosses as well - eur£ and eurchf at the highs. If this bounces above 1.1930 it could squeeze an awful lot of people out and be evil. Time to go long with stop below today's lows.

I quite like the Thomson stuff for its views and levels. Never do their trade though. Their biggest flaw is their stops are so wide for my style. Also they seem a bit wooly about when are stopped out and take profit. Would make it impossible to fade, if you were being serious!

If I had to recommend a broker to handle small retail accounts I would suggest IG markets.

Apologies for repeating a question but have always traded spot but now looking at futures as well. I have TT and on the ladder it only shows the best 5 bids and best 5 offers. Does the CME show all the information and TT choose only to display the best 5-or is it the same with all ISVs?

Not sure this is the right place but have just got TT installed for futures. On the ladder it only shows the best 5 bids and offers at any one time. Is this a TT policy or is that all the CME will be allowed to be disclose at any one time? Thanks.
