Yep, quotes are way off, who's going to try arbing

Same here. The EUR is off by about 15 pips. The quotes have changed once in the last ten minutes, from 15x to 14 9, I think, but not by much.

heh... placed a eur jpy trade and it took a 27 pip spread and hasn't moved yet

lol, crazy shit, it fills at market price not displayed quotes. Just tried a Buy Eur/Usd at 1.2615 and it filled it at 1.2634.....just as well it was only for 1 unit

Best trade of the day!

You might get them to cancel off the trade, I can't see them filling it at the displayed quote but it's worth a shot!

If you've got bounds set then it may add weight to your argument....

Good luck!

Sure does, damn I should have kept my 1 unit Eur trade, I would have been up about .3 of a US cent!
