Sorry, i just checked my mails again, the quote was EUR 20 not USD 20 per pair per month.

From 1.Jan 2004 to 2 month before the actual date.

Oanda's tick-data is very clean, im using it in Neoticker. Unfortunately there are only 5 pairs available. You can also buy historic tick data for every instrument available on Tenfore (including various single-bank feeds and also HotspotFXi) - but it will cost $20 per instrument per month.

P/L should always be $12.50 per tick, your penny certainly doesn't have anything to do with interest.

FX spreads aren't really competitive(nor are rolls and interest) - compared to ABN Amro's retail platform. ABN appears to be the only ibank who tries to be at least remotely competitive for retail traders. All the others (DB, RBS, UBS Citi..) just try to shove down horrible trading costs using...

HotspotFX - FIX access itself is free, but i think they charge a one time fee for the UAT.

I dont think those are underhanded tricks, but it doesnt really matter if its tricks or just malfunctions, the outcome would be the same eitherway. If you have this many problems, there is no choice in moving on. I personally do most trades still with Oanda (got a Hotspot account too, but...

It lasted for 10 seconds, and i thought of clicking that price only afterwards. 10 secs is a short time for double checking this against other brokers. I doubt they are doing this on purpose to hunt stops or something like this, they put their price history out in the open for everyone to...

And by the way, for anyone thinking he individually got stopped because Oanda spiked the price on his trade only, or that Oanda applies slippage to his account only for whatever reason, here is a suggestion: go to this URL: http://fxlabs.oanda.com/cgi/fxlabs.pl?id=2 and see if your...

Cabletrader: yes i have had this too - it went away a day later. There are some threads about this strange slippage on the oanda forums too. I attributed that to either a quirk on oandas side or a temporal high latency of my connection. On another note, shortly after this months NFP release...

The only reason i dont trade on CME is that EUR/JPY isnt available/liquid. Other than that, it would be nearly perfect for me. Even small time traders can get super competitive commissions and professional order entry platforms.

This should, in theory, be exploitable - if you have a broker with very competitive spreads and rolls. If you open a hedged trade (int negative on Oanda, int positive on the other broker) just for the rolling period for wed, you get 3 days worth of interest and pay negative swap for 30 minutes...

Its the standard settlement procedure in FX. Google 'Tomorrow Next' for details. Because of the weekend, you will pay/recieve 3 times the swap on wed.

Not really, i dont know what you mean by 'old' days, but there have been futures-like arrangements in the rice-market in Japan in the 17th century, or short selling of stocks in europe since the 18th century. 3rd party financing for deals is also not exactly a new development. The banning of...

You are right, i didn't subtract the interest expenses. Its still quite a significant amount compared to commission revenue - i was quite surprised when i read that. I just wanted to point out that it is an important part of the broker's income. For velocity probably much more so than for IB -...

Velocity puts your 5k in places like Sentinel and collects the yummy interest. Brokers earn a good chunk on that. If you read the latest IB earnings report, you can see that interest revenue is even higher on what they make on commissions.

I am saying you are activly supporting (through your website) and participating(in collecting the commissions from the victims) in what for me clearly appears to be a fraud (or at the very least extremly questionable and deceptive sales operation).

You are aware that the guys behind that scheme had and have ... problems with the US and canadian juridical system and regualtors? Just do a google search, its not pretty. But i am sure you are already aware of that.

Maybe i am being a bit naive, but dont you have ethical concerns with your association and support with such people?
