History access is a bitch to maintain if you have a decent amount of clients which do a lot of api trading an such (also a reason why api access is restricted to deposit AND volume). Most broker systems are based on age old "carrier grade" oracle. ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

If they don't care why did they change the whole policies to look more professional? There is a big difference between 1 to 10k. 1) Most credible old brokers still sit around that number. 2) Most small retailers are in the <1k range with their ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

I guess its about pure small lot volume increase. Don't underestimate the volume of retailers for a broker. It might only be 10% of the overall forex volume but for brokers its worth gold since retailers are like poors mans hft. Many small orders ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

So ns_karthik do you provide a full lmax classic account with $1000 deposit along the whole things like web AND api access?

LMAX = revolution?!?

I think he simply registered as affiliate / ib and it seems that those have different requirements for deposits than the official lmax. Like that lmtf whatever co.uk thing there provides you with direct lmax web access starting at $1000 deposit and ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

LMAX = revolution?!?

It might be just the greedy me but I don't care if i drop a yard or a micro - if some filthy broker obviously scams me of 50 bucks each trade or 100 round-turn I'd rather give that to the next bum on the street for some booze. He deserves it more ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

Got a point there. Just to increase my odds - dropped a micro both sides both without SL. Threesome here i come...

Of course. Matter of fact statistically those 90% fail strategies are on the fail side of things though even if some are overall winners. The problem with it is that it takes a lot of fails for you to realize that something is wrong... Most of the ...

Exit is more important than the entry

Not so fast with the horses QE -> short the fuck out of USD just like we are seeing now. ECB rhetorics of possible bank union stuff along with QE expectations and off we go on the EU long. I rather trade intraday flows from the low TFs than ...

Money flows: Trading the strongest / weakest major currency cross

You are welcome. Greets to sfbay. Good friend from UC Berkeley there. Many years back... Need to visit him damn time goes by...

Money flows: Trading the strongest / weakest major currency cross

Thanks. Can you quantify the approx. average slippage?

LMAX = revolution?!?

If you mean TP with exit then i would say wrong... Your entry (coupled to your SL and of course not hitting it too often ) defines your pipvalue and with it your profitability. If your entries are spot on along with tight SLs your exits aka TP ...

Exit is more important than the entry

Nice thanks.

You are welcome

Dollar selling across the board along with EUR buying across the board. 20:02 ECB's Coeure says banks must be allowed to directly access Eurozone rescue fund. aka freeeeeeeeeee money... put some QE anticipation at 80% and profit taking into the mix ...

Wish you all the pips you can get but remember... There have been more people that you can count before you going down the no SL route... Failing of course... Under very specific circumstances it can be made to be a working system yes... not much ...
