MB does provide backfill data through their API, so its up to quotetracker to support it. MB backfill is still in beta tho, and has alot of garbled data stored. Hopefully this will improve soon.

Have a look at the orderbook yourself: http://equivalentswdc.cme.com:443/index.html Free registration might be required. There is sometimes less than 10 at the best bid/offer. Something insane like 700 contracts sweeps the book.

Right. So 7500 contracts a click before he runs into issues. Thats $937.5 mil notational. Good luck with that :=)

What i am doing is that i take what works for me from an existing product and write the things that work differently than what i want myself. If you are on your own, without an IT department on your hands, that is much more manageable. I'm using neoticker (native win32, fast) for...

If your ultimate goal is to advance in the finance business, surely, a PhD wouldn't hurt?

Can someone move this thread to trivia or something?

Yes, for example here: http://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/Arbitration.aspx?entityid=0258600&case=03ARB147

What did you expect? That they send the SWAT in and rescue the virgin? The way this works is that an affected client files a NFA complaint/arbitration and then Oanda will get a fine (or not). Only then can you judge if the rule is effective or not.

They do have some sort of filter (i.e. the gbp/usd off-mkt quotes from the same bank were successfully filtered) but its obviously inadequate. How could they possibly not filter out a jpy quote with a 52 handle. But to make it 100% successful in all possible situations is probably not so easy...

Trades should be reverted - but in a timely fashion. Its taking days and that's just ridiculous. Just FYI, trades do get busted on exchanges too, it just happens way less frequent. There are a lot of accounts affected, i'm guessing one of them will file a NFA complaint/arbitration and they...

It may or may not be NFA compliant - im not a lawyer - but gosh, how can you possibly think a JPY quote with a 55 handle is not a bad quote?

Neotickers PatternScanner/Quotewindows. Fully programmable, and you can import symbol-lists so you don't have to enter them one at a time.

BS, gaming industry is probably the worst place to be for a programmer. Exceptions apply (i.e. entrepreneurs like Carmack).

Yes, how can this procedure be possibly NFA-compliant. Wondering what happens when one of those clients, that had a target hit with 1000 pips positive slippage, complains to the NFA that they adjusted a trade without notice and too late.

Precisely so, a broker should be an altruistic charity organization for struggling retail traders. There should also be free tissues for all the tears. And free cookies. Please, i want cookies.

Cyprus apparently develops into something like an european Florida wrt FX shops. Why not domicile in London? Any russian worth one's salt owns a pretentious 800m2 loft in the city anyways.

Awesome. Are you using proprietary fibonacci derivatives to achieve these returns?

Huh?? Why would you pay 10 times the spread in a spot transaction? There are some other advantages: the CME fx contracts only trade 23 hours a day, whereas spot trades 24 - this incurs gap risk for o/n futures positions. The market is usually quiet during this period, but there have been...

Its from Olsens website itself ( www.olseninvest.com ), but the reports were taken down shortly after they crashed the account. It was called 'High frequency fund' or something like that. As far as i know they only trade fully automated computer models. Apparently they started over already...

Olsen does run a good quality FX dealer and may be well regarded in academia, but i am not so sure about his trading skills.
