    Autospreaders for stocks.

    I don't think any of the solutions that I saw were at that price point. Have you had a look at Redi?

    Autospreaders for stocks.

    I spent a good deal of time looking for a solution, that wasn't the same, but was similar enough that any 'off the shelf' programs that supported what I needed (or close enough), would also cover what you're looking for. As you're probably realizing, it's not a simple find. How latency...

    offtopic: where can I get a certified translation to get approval by broker?

    Before you write off finding a notrary in your town...do a bit of checking first. It may be Russia is different...but it many countries notaries are not at all exclusive to metropolitan areas. Is there a single lawyer in the town? If so...I'd imagine they either are a notary or will be able...

    offtopic: where can I get a certified translation to get approval by broker?

    Due to my locale and my chosen profession, I frequently have to provide to brokers documents with certified translations. Tim has offered generally good advice....however, for a few reasons, I would not ask your broker if you need an apostille. If you ask...the answer you get is likely going...

    Triangular arbitrage

    Out of curiosity... Other than on CME (FX futures), where are they doing textbook triangular arb that quickly (necessitating tick to wire of single digit micros)? I mean...of course they're able to, but since the spot fx world is drastically slower than futures/equities, where are they able...

    FCM - which one is the safest? or largest = safest?

    That's $0.65 per leg, not including exchange fees, right? Do you specifically not want to go to them directly?

    What arrangement makes sense for printing Forex order info?

    You're speaking in a theoretical sense, at this point....right?

    What arrangement makes sense for printing Forex order info?

    I though I'd just clarify what I meant by 'predating the need for randomization' ... Just that in the mid 2000's when matchbook existed...HFT was not yet so pervasive (and certainly not in FX) that it was necessary to institute any mechanisms for randomization (basiclly slowing things down) in...

    What arrangement makes sense for printing Forex order info?

    OP's impetus for wanting to make this exchange (pretty ambitious task, if you ask me) was that he wanted a venue where it wouldn't be all about speed. To have a mechanism to serve as a speedbump of sorts, to level the playing field for all participants is his idea (sort of an IEX for FX)...

    What arrangement makes sense for printing Forex order info?

    Nono, another FastMatch! Not LMAX since they use 'strict price/time' order matching. Matchbook was before my time, but from a quick look at the wiki link, I didn't see anything that mentioned 'randomization' mechanisms for matching. Not surprising though, if it closed in 2009, it really...

    The problem with banks and wire transfers

    It'd also be worth checking out Chase Private Client - they actually waive the fees on not just incoming wires but outgoing as well (even int'l). And with them too, you can expect that it will go out in about an hour - there's a 45-min security hold time, but it usually goes out shortly...

    The problem with banks and wire transfers

    I had a feeling someone would offer this as a response...I still almost can't believe it, though! You don't mind that your broker loses your 100k (of 500k+) ...as long as you eventually get it back??? After a week?? After a month?? After a year?? Forget about the op's nerves being shot to hell...

    Any broker which offers Fastmatch access?

    No problem - I'll be happy if I can help. Doing over a yard per month should certainly entitle you to be beyond the 'pepperstones' of the world. There's a whole lot between Pepperstone and Citi/GS, where you should be able to find a good fit. However, my volumes are comparable, and I can...

    Any broker which offers Fastmatch access?

    I don't necessarily have the best feedback about some of them, hence my reluctance to weigh in on it on an open form. JFD Prime - I did a decent amount of business with them in 2015. Unless something has changed since I last discussed it with them in April, they probably won't be able to...

    Any broker which offers Fastmatch access?

    @Zzzz1 I've had some interactions (and even onboarded/traded with a few of the above names)...send me a PM, I'd be happy to discuss.

    Non-display fees

    In a quick read over the FAQ I don't have this same takeaway as you. Which question/answer in the FAQ are you referring to that talks about flagging? I was initially going to wait for Bob to answer you on the flagging business, but reading what you've said now, I'm wondering if I missed...

    Non-display fees

    You beat me to it. Agreed...if you're getting your MD from a vendor and it is not deemed that you need to pay non-display fees for that feed...I don't think anyone has suggested you'd encounter problems related to the Broker API that you are using for order routing. The reason...

    Non-display fees

    In my experience, at least with futures exchanges, non-professionals do not categorically get a free pass on non-display data fees. Although I have seen, but being a non-professional and depending on what you're doing with the data, does afford you some leeway with the exchange, that they may...

    any recommendation for VPS in frankfurt area for colo?

    Sorry if this is obvious, but in case it's not: one VPS isn't identical to another. There's plenty of VPSs that are available for a whole lot less than $45, but their performance may be quite lacking. Furthermore, whether you go with AMP's offering or a different vendor, I'd suggest doing a...
