Where brokers connect?

Brother? Thankfully not, I'd have to spike your OJ with Prozac if we were related to stop all that manic laughter! Apart from that our familly gene pool has an above average IQ, I really don't think we could be related unless we had adopted you from ...

Oanda reversing trades?

I'm not quite sure what you're laughing hysterically about, after all you're the one who trades there! (although a perverse sense of humor probably does help if you trade with Oanda!) This really shouldn't need to be explained as it's pretty basic ...

These aren't 'brokers' brokering a deal and taking a commission they're bucketshops, they stream quotes and fill automatically, they're counterparty to every trade and only hedge exposure above a certain threshold, only a minute percentage of trades ...

If it works for you then great, you may have a different trading style than me and these issues may not affect you as much. I agree Oanda does have it's obvious advantages such as tight advertised spreads and competitive rollover rates but how they ...

Oanda reversing trades?

Not all trades filled on misquotes are reversed though, for example Oanda stand by the price discrepancies in the video in this thread yet those prices do not appear on any other platform simply because the market never traded there. Why would Oanda ...

Oanda reversing trades?

IBFX have a variable spread though don't they, in fact I'm not even sure whether ODL have fixed or variable spreads, by saying 'snipe fixed spreads' it suggests they're fixed. I guess the only way to get a definitive answer is to phone ODL and ask, ...

Sniping on Broker

No problem, but I bet you got a few people worried By sniping the fixed spread I'm guessing they mean volatile times like across data when MT4 suffers latency on pairs like Eur/Cad. So say Eur/Cad was quoted on MT4 at 1.5840/45 but the real ...

Sniping on Broker

Exactly! And they're happening with such regularity.

Oanda reversing trades?

Try not to take it personally, reversing trades is becoming a regular feature on Oanda! It's tough but I don't think there's very much you can do about it, and I agree with you it's totally unfair. You probably already know this but I'll mention it ...

Oanda reversing trades?

ODL aren't talking about Gbp/Usd or Usd/Cad or any other G4/G7 currencies, they're referring to more exotic less liquid pairs which MT4 sometimes experiences delays in updating quotes. Platform arbitrageurs were obviously taking advantage of that ...

Sniping on Broker

Thanks for the reply, it helps and it doesn't help By saying 'broker' you're describing a firm who simply brokers a deal and gets paid a commission (spread + shade). Most retail marketmakers at this level are what people affectionately ...

Was this GFT in the US or UK?

Beware - Order fill glitch screwed me

Ok, so what would the explanation be for a marketmaker quoting >40 away from the underlying market and any other MM? Their spread was 3 pips. They stand by their quotes and no trades were reversed due to bad data. The prices quoted were not ...

Why Moe?

rebate or cashback on interbankfx

That makes sense but......rather than lose the prospective customer to another marketmaker who's IB's are easier to find wouldn't it be better to either offer the customer a rebate directly or provide a list of IB's? Surely a direct rebate would be ...

rebate or cashback on interbankfx

Well according to IBFX they have over 100 but they refuse to say who they are or provide a list, they would rather turn the business away. Is IBFX the right MT4 marketmaker anyway, they seem to open an hour later on Sunday and close an hour earlier ...

Well heck, it may be a bit off-the-wall but at least you've given an explanation which is more than anyone else managed! Hey, stranger things have happened (not sure about the laser beams but who knows, guess I better order that $9.99 tinfoil ...
