A bit like Pacman, a bit like Golf.

Traditional auctions are a luxury, for the those who go there to savour the ambience, to enjoy the fame, for those who can throw their money away.

Was it weekend when you tried to log in?

Could you elaborate on that please? Which currency did you trade that has that problem? Eg. if EUR/USD is now quoting bid-ask 1.3337-1.3338, at what price did you place which made you wait for 10 seconds with no takers? And what order type?

So are you saying that it has actually happened to you, perhaps as part of your trading style, when using the platform that when say the euro was showing 20 17 you used a limit order to buy at 25 rather than 17 or lower?

I assume you have never heard of Limit Order then.

Awful isn't it? When people don't understand they just don't understand.

If it their own inability to know how to handle a platform's orders inputs, or their own negligence for leaving an order on the platform which got filled, or using using software that malfunctions, then it is their own wrongdoing. In the case of an ECN that states that prices should not be...

If the price quotes on a particular platform which is broadcast worldwide is not binding, I would seriously think twice about having any business dealings with that particular platform's company.

taboni: I tried the demo last year. When I compared the hotspot prices to other price feeds, eg. the majors, some rates moved more or less in line with other price feeds. When the other price feeds moved up, the hotspot price moved up, when the other moved down hotspot price moved down...

For binary options, if you think in terms of eg. buy a nearby call and sell a further away call, you get something similar to binary options of 0 - 100 expiry. Alternatively if you think of margin trading whereby eg. buy the dips, it's similar to binary options at the corner prices. In the...

When you open an account with the prime broker (bank) do you have to trade as a company or can you open an account and trade as an individual on independent means?

How about eSpeed (Cantor Fitzgerald). Anyone using that for forex trading?

Does the commission vary according to whether you trade through Currenex's Prime Brokers or White Label Partners?

Eg. for CME's front month futures EUR/USD (contract size 125,000) the 100 lots and more are about 3 pips wide. In the case of Currenex, eg. EUR/USD contract, what is the usual bid-ask spread for minimum contract sizes of 10 million and over?

I wouldn't complain about the retarded prices (actually that's what I prefer to see). But I was cut off from the demo very fast, about a few days after I started. It takes time to see how a platform works and whether I can be comfortable with that particular platform. They don't have an...

Is that 1 pip all inclusive or do you still have to pay a commission? How much? And what is the average contract sizes consisting of the 1 pip bid-ask spreads?
