Hello everyone, I realize there is no ideal or best broker (MM/ECN) out there, however I would like to find one which is closest to what I need - namely stable, reliable platform, decent spreads and great execution. To be clear 5-10 pips spreads 1-2-5-10-30 minutes AFTER a news release is...

hempster, at this point I'd rather trust DB USA + DB Headquarters, plain and simple. In fact you can even find a page on DB's site where they advertise launching dbfx. The quality of dbfx will directly reflect on DB, and they do have a reputation to defend. You trust your findings, you made your...

chood, i don't think i had you in mind when writing that; either way, dbfx is legit DB, and whatever policies dbfx clients will face, are DB's not FXCM's. So I'd say the thread title is a bit misleading.

i really don't know much about internet hosting, and what happends when you lease other company's software, and such technicalities, but if Deutsche Bank headquarters from Germany and Deutsche Bank NY tell two different people that dbfx is theirs then that's enough for me. For the third time...

we both talked TO DEUTSCHE BANK AG, NOT dbfx.com, got it ? what's the point for one of the LARGEST banks to support a SCAM using their LOGO and everything ? this is beyond ridiculous. How can you believe DB would even TOLERATE a scam using their name ??? They'd sue their asses in no time...

Chood, as a trader you are NEVER sure of anything, but let me put it this way : rather than trading with FXCM or other $1M startups, I'd rather trade with Deutsche Bank. The whole point of this thread, i.e. dbFX = FXCM because they use the same platform, is pretty foolish. I contacted...

the weird stuff is that if you talk to dbfx they don't acknowledge using FXCM's platform.... and if you talk to www.db.com people they don't deny dbfx being their retail FX outlet. I think they wanted to reach this market and just leased the same software, at least temporarily. Most likely it...

never tried futures. Guys, which brokers do you use/recommend for trading eurusd futures ? thanks

I installed MB demo and I don't have any problems. Also, as it has been pointed out a couple of times, that single registry entry is harmless, at worst just useless but can't harm your computer in any way.

latest stunt : 10:00EST, 15 pips for EURUSD !!! OANDA the tough monkey !

ddunbar, thanks a lot. if i understand it correctly they reduce the spreads immediately [few seconds] after the release, right ? That would be nice, because even without straddling there are opportunities soon after the release, and it's most frustrating to see 10/15 pips spreads 3 minutes after...

there is no such thing as guaranteed fills, Oanda does have slippage during fast markets. But the problem is that even now, at 4:42 EST the GBPUSD spread is SEVEN pips. What is the spread with IB, MB, Hotspot ? I mean, it's 12 minutes after the number, it's ridiculous.

i talked to ODLSecurities and you need $500 to open a mini.

TradeViper, In general there isn't much slippage, I don't want to give any wrong impression about that, but your description of the execution in real world is similar to Oanda's so the possibility for slippage exists. It happens, but nothing really weird. Yes, please PM me about that...

TV, my main complaint is not about the increased spreads, even though these days they seem extreme. Also, slippage is very much part of the game, that's why you can set bounds on limit orders, otherwise they're meaningless. But my problem is that, *on top of that*, they moved the price 7-10 pips...

TradeViper, thank you. And so the days of the much acclaimed Oanda-the-honest-market-maker are gone. To start with, what other broker had 15 pip spread for .... UK PPI, for pete's sake. But as if that weren't enough, they figured they could move the price all over the place 'cause whatcha...

how do you know what i plot on my charts ? I can plot the bid, the ask, or the average. And I do plot the average, and THAT AVERAGE went up to 1.8901, i.e. the high of the candlestick. I just want to know whether this was the case on other platforms. Don't include the spreads.

Hello, Could you please let me know what was the maximum bid/ask average for GBPUSD on your platform at 4:30 EST [5sec to 1 minute charts, doesn't matter]. My "market maker" shows max 1.8901 while on dailyfx charts I see only 1.8894 They also had ***15*** pips spread at that moment, which...
