    How to create my own index

    If you want more in depth information bout neoticker i suggest their own forum. I personally don't use the breath/UDS-stuff. There there are a few very sophisticated users who certainly can provide more insight how/if your ideas can be implemented.

    Bset Number of Trades to Judge System Performance

    I have read several times now that 30 is the minimum sample size to be of any significance. Can anyone tell me where this number comes from?

    Anyone trade FX on IB IDEALPRO and do you see Volume?

    No, tell me, what information could you possibly deduct from a few T&S prints on a single FX platform out of dozens (a retail platform at that).

    Anyone trade FX on IB IDEALPRO and do you see Volume?

    Its actual trades. Bid/Ask updates would have dozens of updates each minute. Still dont understand how this information could be of any use at all.

    Europen (the US branch doesn't offer accounts in EURs).

    Anyone trade FX on IB IDEALPRO and do you see Volume?

    I am under the impression there is only one server (one for retail and one for institutional) - at least the prices are exactly the same. Executions 'feel' almost instant, i have no means to measure it exactly.

    Anyone trade FX on IB IDEALPRO and do you see Volume?

    That screenshot is from a few weeks ago. Note that normally not that much gets traded on this platform, there are days where they have less than 50 mio. in turnover, or even less.

    Anyone trade FX on IB IDEALPRO and do you see Volume?

    Hotspot retail on the euro-platform does report T&S. HotspotFXi doesnt show it on the platform, but it maybe available through the API (IIRC the api docs). It is atleast available on a historical basis (you can purchase tick and T&S data from them, but its expensive). In my opinion volume...

    How to create my own index

    That depends - someone without much programming background will not like it, for those something like TS/EasyLanguge is probably the better choice. Others with more experience will like the possibility to do all programming in professional level IDEs like Visual Studio or other products (its...

    Oanda - Add Your SCAM SCREENS Here

    What do you mean by 'stood by their quotes' - its not like they announce every incident of trade-reversals on their forum. I have seen this incident happen live - its was 5 minutes after NFP. But, i have to say, every time i caught a spike they reversed the trade (be it a profit or a loss)...

    Oanda - Add Your SCAM SCREENS Here

    I got those ghosting issues too. I suspect its my combination of gfx drivers and java-version. It only started since a month or so.. No severe problems here either, apart from connectivity issues from time to time.

    ECN broker for managed accounts

    There are no requotes on an ECN - there is potentially slippage on market/stop-orders or potentially no fills on limit-orders but no requotes. Requotes are marketmaker only.

    Good EOD price Source

    eSignal On Demand is a nice product, $35 for delayed data for [nearly] all instruments they carry. Only pity is they disabled API support to get the data into 3rd party apps.

    Leh

    Apparently Leh has more exposure to junk loans rather than junk mortgages - and junk loans aren't worth much at the FED's pawnshop.

    TT vs. Ninja

    TT is connected to Hotspot for spot FX trading. Most retail brokers do not offer it tho. I only know of Advantage futures who do, but its not a good fit for retail anyways due to the relatively high minimum transaction requirements. Anyways, it is possible to trade spot FX through xtrader, and...

    Currenex troubles

    Hi, last-look means that if a market order is routed to a bank they can choose to not fill it - and it will be routed to the next bank in line, possibly at a worse price. A 'busted' or 'reversed ' trade means that a fill you already got will be undone at a later point in time - possibly...

    Currenex troubles

    Hi, one solution would be to use marketable limit orders instead of a market order. For example, if mkt is as 1.5510/1.5511 and you want to buy - submit a limit buy order at 1.5513 - this order should be executed immediately at 1.5511 - and in case of a fast move it will limit your slippage...
