Hi, Is there a FIX Trading Community group online on slack, discord, irc channel, or elsewhere that I can interact with developers or other users? I see there is none on this forum. Thanks,

Thanks for the details. Don't other brokers charge more commissions for order modifications as well? IBKR commissions are the lowest in Forex of any and all brokers available anywhere but you could be right for other equities though I doubt it. What other providers provide lower fees for an HFT...

HFT is a general term so question is not asked correctly. And what is "ticket charge" you mentioned? And what is "api directed order charge"? Order rate limit exists on all exchanges. You have to follow same rules everywhere. Slow risk checking, is probably done with all brokers but who can...

No this is not true. FIX is available without colo as well for IBKR.

Hedging is not something a broker allows or not. And scalping is different from hedging. You are very far from answer seems like.

They probably have hedged 0 times and will hedge 0 times in future too. No one has so far answered anything substantial to hedging. I am wondering it doesn't exist in its true word meaning at all.

Logan, thanks for the reply. May I know what you buy and sell and what is your profit % to portfolio? 5%? 20%? 200%? That amount seems low for a successful or very successful trader given profits will not translate to living wages so I am curious what your percentage amounts are. I am also...

That doesn't explain missing FXCONV as it is available in bracket orders and works.

Barx is a bank? or a broker? Their promotional video shows GBP/USD with four decimal digits. It's missing a whole 10 pips to begin with?! If yes, then exactly my point and repeating again: "You can't go direct to bank and get spot rates." If it's missing 10 pips it's not true spot rate.

This is not a good example because there are no brokers for plumbers to put a margin on top of what plumber quotes. You can't go direct to bank and get spot rates. Brokers set the spread and that can be over what banks are willing to sell or buy.

This is a very good question and part of the same cycle. I think one would not know specially if there is no oversight at all. Libor scandal is the other side of the equation example. The big spreads you see is I think exactly the monkey business that brokers run. It's a known fact with those...

Hi, How did you get this chart? Are you using the API and charting or some other source? Thanks,

I really like this question for different reasons. I think real need for currency exchange is in the 10-20% and rest is gambling (?) of the day traders. This question can probably be answered IF there is a way to know the full volume of Forex traded each day and exactly by who. I also think this...

Good Evening All, I saw a post from @Robert Morse somewhere on this forum where he was able to pull transaction IDs of each transaction of a security sold or bought. This was when someone was claiming their order should have executed but it had not and Robert helped pull the whole tape. This...

I don't think IBKR systems are right beside exchanges servers. IBKR is a broker not an exchange and exchanges may or may not allow IBKR to be in their data centers however IBKR may choose to be close to exchanges by being in same building, same room, same city, etc...That is true of exchanges...

Hi, IBKR can configure accounts to be in Chicago, New York, Europe, Singapore, or China. That assignment depends on country of residence I guess. They do allow to change to another location. I wonder what is the difference between New York and Chicago? For example, is Chicago better because...

Good point. No wonder I have been getting hit with market moves... Can you still somehow automatically silent that most annoying music in between talks online?

Hi, Does anyone listen to / watch BB TV on IBKR during the day? What do you do to escape or automatically shut the audio on the very annoying repeated music that comes on in between talks? This is when text is shown on screen and no hosts talking. It's always the same musical audio and very...

Thanks for the different point of view.

Hi Luo8, did you ever get FIX running with IBKR. I see the many stupid responses to your request.
