Hi yohan_ip This might be old information, it may not even be accurate, but I seem to remember STiFX offering some kind of rebate and as far as I know they are (were?) white label for IBFX. If you're putting decent volume their way it might be worth ...

rebate or cashback on interbankfx

Sorry tdion, my mistake, I got a little carried away! I'll go back to lurking, it's safer

My broker stop hunted me!

Not since I changed marketmakers (or rather went back to my original choice), no I think discussing different marketmakers is useful, and highlighting problems that traders have had gives people a heads up of what to look out for. If you read a ...

My broker stop hunted me!

Ah right, so that would be a 'no' to posting anything like a screenshot or details to support what you're saying. That's fine and not totally unexpected. Oanda moved price to suit their order book for their own financial benefit, plain and simple. ...

My broker stop hunted me!

Switch? No need to switch, no serious trader would trade with a bucketshop who does things like that. I'm quite happy to be proved wrong here, all you need to do is post a screenshot or give details of one other marketmaker who quoted Eur/Usd 1.5654 ...

My broker stop hunted me!

lol, you see what I mean, some people just can't see anything wrong with that picture and that's why marketmakers like Oanda can get away with this stuff. Too funny, seriously, just too funny.

My broker stop hunted me!

Thank you for verifying point no.2! What are you going to say next, that it was an arb opportunity? Yeah, right

My broker stop hunted me!

1) It's not illegal, marketmakers are perfectly within their rights to quote whatever they like, fill whatever they like, reverse trades, hunt stops, miss targets, it's all in the agreement. 2) 90% of their clients probably don't even notice ...

My broker stop hunted me!

It's nice to read some exceptional success stories every now and then, very inspirational

Is it possible to make 20k to 70k in short time (7 weeks)?

I know what you mean about there being sooooooo many, I had to do the rounds myself and tried out a few before I found one which was a good fit for my trading style. At the risk of being called a shill (or worse!) I trade with CMC Markets in the UK ...

GFT anyone?

Well I don't know anything about scripts (whatever they are!) but I do know there are literally thousands of traders who take advantage of no-brainer fundamental releases such as a .25bp rate cut when .50bp is priced in, their success or failure ...

GFT anyone?

Well you obviously have to go with whoever you feel comfortable with but it would really be better to make an informed decision based on research, logic, and common sense rather than be swayed by other people's opinion of a particular marketmaker. ...

GFT anyone?

You know what's really funny is you seem to think that with a few thousand bucks execution with an ECN-style marketmaker is going to be any different than a bucketshop, same crap just a different name is all, a marketing exercise to entice the ...

GFT anyone?

Me too, I traded there for a while, market orders just sit in the working orders tab waiting to be filled at whatever price they decide and you can't cancel them! Bucketshops have definitely got worse lately, maybe there's just too many of them ...

GFT anyone?

What would you prefer, a car crash or a train wreck, both result in the same thing! Personally I wouldn't touch either, they take the word 'bucketshop' to a whole other level -

GFT anyone?

So to summarize your answer, you really don't have a clue about the Oanda price discrepancies which are the topic of this thread. Fair enough. Oanda say they stand by those quotes even though not one other marketmaker or price feed on the planet ...

Oanda Stop Hunting?

Well I'm sure that's all very interesting but it doesn't really explain the price differences in the first post of this thread, perhaps you would like to contribute something on that topic? This bit made me laugh though, in one breath you say "I'm ...

Oanda Stop Hunting?

That's a generalization, not all marketmakers ('brokers' implies they're simply brokering a deal) are equal and it's very evident that for some marketmakers stop-hunting and quote manipulation are regular practices and all in a day's work. To say ...

Oanda Stop Hunting?

That email they had to send out makes a total mockery of what Oanda were saying this time last year.... "We fully hedge our clients' positions, so we have nothing to gain if you incur losses and we win if you trade profitably." Oanda have become a ...

Oanda Stop Hunting?

That is not slippage, that's order-driven price manipulation for Oanda's benefit. The market was not volatile as can be seen from the other price feeds. The NFP release had already been and gone, spreads were more or less back to normal. Slippage ...

Oanda Stop Hunting?
