Ak386, In case you ask, I am an independent retail trader, so have no ties what so ever with any broker. If you want the best ping results get a VPS with CNS NY. Honestly you can get Ping down to between 1 and 2 ms. In the end there are so many ...

ak386, Try with a live account, you can't state a case with a demo account. Demo are for demonstration purposes only, obviously, and also there are many variables which effect your trades between demo and live. I have used a VPS with CNS NY, and now ...

Hi joshi90, I am not quite sure of how you are linking any association between my VPS provider and ANY mt4 or server updates? My VPS provider operates completely independent of any brokerage and trading software. My biggest gripe as stated ...

Ahmerkhan, Thanks for your reply, it instills a little faith when someone actually can provide feedback from the company. I am mostly quite happy with IC Markets with exception of the latest server update where I lost all my data history due to a ...

Well part of running a good service is fore warning clients of updates and changes, NOT post follow up after, to explain why sh!t happens. How hard is it to blanket email these days???

Fuc(*&g honestly, I emailed these c*&ts about notifying when they are about to update MT4, no reply! Today they applied the forced update to VPS MT4 (which somehow works differently to home location PC), and I lost all my history as they forced my ...

This may help answer your question: url from last year, from a retail trading perspective, and probably a more honest answer than an anonymous forum reply or broker answer. 'other financial institutions' ie counterparty OTC.

Market-making HFT algorithm

They must be getting some suckers signing up, as they are running TV advertisements here. I went to an introductory session many years ago out of curiosity maybe hoping to pick up a tip from a floor trader, the guy out front in snake skin shoes ...

Not all 'advantages'. One of the most recent updates has required me to rebuild my robot. How often is this going to happen? They have a lot of features and bugs to fix yet, it's certainly not all about 'advantages.

cTrader: features and advantages

Spotware's reply "Thank you for the suggestion. Range Bars will be available in the future." Asked for one user back in March 2013, and I could probably find another earlier request. Don't hold your breath.

cTrader: features and advantages

I have never really had a problem with them, although I haven't used them for some time now. I am just fully aware now of what all brokers are capable of, particularly with all the findings of server side options for brokers provided by Metaquotes ...

Pepperstone playing tricks?

They are probably just fine tuning their server side settings with the latest 600 upgrade. With this latest update it appears some (if not most), of the MT5 server side settings may have been integrated, purely because of its MT5 hybrid features.

Pepperstone playing tricks?

Pending orders don't make any difference, they just slip you the same amount as a requote. Go ECN, as previously stated. There are some brokers that simply don't requote anymore. Shop around.

How do you avoid re-quotes?

Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents. I anticipated MT4 problems some time ago so had my EA coded in C+ for CAlgo, and it works fine. The problem with CTrader and CAlgo is high RAM usage and slow updates from the designers. They still have many bugs to ...

Platform alternatives to Metatrader

I placed a withdrawal yesterday and it was processed in the afternoon. I personally think IC are offering a good service to date, with the inter account funds transfer and instant deposits etc. The ECN behaviour is typical and you have to learn how ...

You need to speak to your broker. They (your broker), can change your leverage at any stage causing a margin call, make sure it is still the same as when your signed up for the account. This practice used to occur of some time ago, but doesn't seem ...
