Quote from ElectricSavant:

I think what marketsurfer was emphasizing, was the RETAIL side of the business in the Wild West of Forex.

Ah, you mean that the broker, through feed manipulation and their deal desk will recognize the type of actions that you using and make it hard to execute, or int he worse case scenario, shut you off?

Wouldn't this be "sidestepped" with a paid feed?

Thanks!

Really??

Can you elaborate a bit? How can paying for my feed (and thereby freeing it from tampering) be against the rules??

Gosh, I'm so completely lost. The more I think I know about forex, the more I realize I'm clueless...

Thank you!

arbing one feed to another is against the rules...if you do something that prevents your dealer from hedging his book you are out...

taking advantage of temporal imbalances is against most client agreements...
