Well before he set me up, I told him I'd likely open an account (if I decided to) with 50k and trading volume of roughly 25M - 50M/month. So not huge volume here from a comms. per mil. standpoint... This was the feed he set me up with, so perhaps a ...

Never really thought about them...We use them at work once in a blue moon and have never been overly impressed with their spreads or service.

haha! I don't think the game has ever left. I imagine that whether you use LCG or forex.com, or direct at a bank, someone always has their own interests ahead of yours. Just a matter of knowing that and adjusting to it.

True enough. I already told the guy that if I'm going to open an account I would want to have the same 'demo feed' I am using to compare feeds. He didn't seem to have a problem with this request... But actions speak louder than words. Thanks for the ...

Like shrike, the guy at Cantor (finally) sent me a CNX login...I've attached a sceenshot of Cantor (on the left) and LCG (on the right) showing DOM at about 8:40 pm EST Sunday May 8th. The guy at Cantor told me this is their 'best' feed and that ...

Who do you think lines of credit are issued from? Banks, correct? So in this world of credit crises do you think banks are extending some FX broker in God knows where, lines of credit sufficient enough to offer small retail clients who are the most ...

haha! My thoughts exactly! Voster, we are aware that you think FxOpen is the best venue, in your misguided world. Please stop spamming us with your completely useless and irrelevant posts.

Hi Flash, Things are going well here, too! Thanks for all these insightful posts. What are terms of trade at solidfx? FXall? Cheers, Venge.

Very interesting! I can't even be bothered to pursue this avenue since the guy at Cantor didn't reply back with some semblance of an answer as to why he said CNX doesn't offer charts, when they do... And frankly, after reading your perspective on ...

If you can afford a bloomberg subscription (how much are u paying for that by the way?) I'm sure you afford to have a programmer code your system in java. Lots of programmers around - try odesk.com, freelancer.com for example. And in a sense, you ...

Hey Flash! Hope you've been well and the markets are treating you kindly! Yeah, when I read his rply on that, I just shook my head a bit and sighed. I sent him an email back with a screenshot from CNX of charts. Haven't heard back from him yet... ...

I'm not really sure there are any...Maybe MBT but I think they are based in the US. I have never used them so maybe someone else could offer more insight... Also, MT4 is crap. Many better charting packages out there... Personally, I use reuters for ...

Couldn't agree more!

Agreed that Flash is certainly the one who can explain this better. Pret is a market maker's front-end for CNX technology. fxtrades is the institutional platform. For example, large corps. like Shell (at least they used to) use this platform to ...

To be honest, I don't know many (any?) traders whose main concern is leverage. Maybe if one is trading with a very small amount of capital, then perhaps one would want high leverage but at the end of the day this is why the mortality rate for retail ...

So I sent an email to Cantor and this is what I got back: For your convenience in replying to my enquiry, I have listed my questions numerically: 1. I am currently trading on Currenex (fxtrades via LCG) and was curious about your CNX offering. Is ...

Interesting, indeed! — I looked at them a long time ago...but it didn't seem like they were taking individual accounts...I wonder when they started taking smaller accounts? Certainly an anvenue worth exploring, so thanks for bringing it to our ...

I think it refers to the initial opening position. And although they say min. trade size is 200K (smallest you can actually trade is 50k), I have gone as small as 50k at a time (although aggregate per day it is much more). I think as long as you are ...

Best ECN

Not sure what their minimun opening amount is...maybe 20-25K USD? Minimum trade size is 200K. Comms are 16/mln based on USD. So if you trade GBP/USD (say rate is 1.61) and buy 400k GBP you sell 644K USD. Your comms are based on the 644K USD so you ...
