sorry, they only give me the last 4 days of ticks for that contributor.

When i was looking at the efx feed, i noticed some bad ticks comeing thru, only 1 tick at a time, up to 100 pip off the marketaction. Happend several times a day, on demo tho. I could understand that if such bad ticks trigger stops, but in no way you should get a fill on a limit-order worse...

I do get those mails too. I seriously want to know where they got my email from, im paranoid about giving out my mail-address, and those are pretty much the only spam i get. Im suspecting it was one of my brokers.. They are good at passing the spam-filter too.

As far as i know, saxobank offers plain vanilla FX options (not 100% sure tho).

ABN Amro and DB have retail offerings. I think chances that one of those 2 firms go under anytime soon are rather slim. Not the best conditions tho.

Just now, 8:15 CET, the Pound on Globex has 2-5 pips spread, with sometimes less than 10 contracts on each side. My spot dealer quotes 1-2 pips spread with 5 to 30 mio. on each side. EuroFX and Yen are good most of the time, but especially the pound lacks liquidity during european hours, i...

I may be wrong, but i always thought in the US a margin account must have a minimum balance of 2000$, due to regulation?

Depends on your programming capabilities, how much you want/can pay for it, how much of your time you want/can invest in it, what kind of tradingsystems/traing-frequency you got, what datafeed/brokers you want/have to use, what market you gonna trade etc.etc.etc. Different traders/systems...

Hello, i am considering purchasing Neoticker. It got me interested because it has an open API, and my preferred language is C#, i got alot of stuff done in it already, parts of which i (hopefully) can use in NT. I want to utilize NT's charting, transaction logging, tick-db etc. along with the...

Viper, i think the EFX servers cant handle high-volume situations reliably. See: http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=23330706 Thats an MBT forum, and a lot of future traders complain about lagged quotes under those circumstances. Chances are, what you experienced is a simmilar...

Viper: what platform is the SuperDOM window?

To compare, here is a MBT tick-chart from a big figure release a few weeks back:

I personally didnt see such wide spreads. But if you watch a tick-chart of their feed (TDFX on esignal) you can see that you can easily expect slippage on some 20 pips or more. Their demo is exactly like their real quotes by the way. I compared them to PFG currenex for a day or two, and its...

You honestly think they are gunning for your $25 trade? lol

I looked at FXCM LLC, who have way lower numbers.

FXCM actually shows the lowsest numbers of those three firms.

Their prices are pretty much inline with everyone else. When comparing daily charts, keep in mind that oanda starts their daily bars on a different time than pretty much everyone else, so they look different on the first sight. Use smaller time-frames to compare prices. As for them being...

To be fair, you have to mention that oanda admitted that the 200 spread was an operator error (meant to be 20 pips, bad enough tho), and that trades that were executed at this time are being reversed.

Tradeviper: may i ask what charting-app and datafeed you use?
