    Currenex Compatible Platforms?

    I have not heard anyone mention Dan Raykhman's software. ChoiceFX is good stuff. Very fast and solid. Dan can tie together all API's from CNX, HotspotFXI, and LavaFX. He does not have FXall coded yet but will do it for the coding fee. I'm between Choicefx and Globaledgetrading FXadvisor...

    Currenex, HotSpotFxi, etc. through Globaledgetrading.com

    I'll be open with VCAP in another week. You can trade futures there as well as forex on all their credit lines to multiple portals. You can open up at other places for less commissions like ODL if you just want forex. Your commissions should be less and they work well with globaledgetrading...

    hey, don i just talked to hotspotfxi and they pointed out how easy it is to do just that. hotspotfxi seems like a very good company. we might send some accounts there. their spreads are tighter than most currenex hubs. and they have more features for institutional traders than currenex...

    Currenex, HotSpotFxi, Lava - Pimps for the Banks? - No Scalpers

    mb spreads are similar to currenex at most hubs. hubs are the pools of liquidity the previous trader was explaining. if your hub is really big like FIMAT you'll see low spreads all day long. eurusd always 1 pip or less. commissions depend on size and volume of the account. you can negotiate...

    Currenex, HotSpotFxi, Lava - Pimps for the Banks? - No Scalpers

    i've talked to many brokers and when i say hub i mean a liquidity pool that is individual to many different currenex pools or hotspotfxi or lavafx. most primes have access to both hotspotfxi and currenex. on a currenex hub for example with admd prime you will have 12 banks supplying liquidity...

    Currenex, HotSpotFxi, Lava - Pimps for the Banks? - No Scalpers

    their GUI has like 3 functions if you want something cool have it written yourself and use the FIX api. that is cool currenex GUI sucks. Lavafx is way better.

    big apology from me if i'm wrong but i've entered trades on another platform that is linked to my currenex and i've found that currenex is not the front end of choice. the desk guys at my broker have a third party platform they use to keep track of trades. if you close an order on thier third...

    Currenex, HotSpotFxi, Lava - Pimps for the Banks? - No Scalpers

    I see what you are referring to now. I apologize. You see we are taking news providers and piping them into the server in NY which is where the API is that makes the trade decision so the order is routed from NY to the broker. The only order that comes from my home is the order to flatten the...
