Hey Jest, Why do you need data from MB. I had the same problem with a couple of brokers a few years back and I just got my data from another source. The data should be close enough to test what ever algo you have. A good algo will run with well with ...

I agree with most of what you have said except for the fact that dealing on a currenex platform is the real market. The market that is offered will always depend on the broker that is offering currenex. A broker can manipulate the spread as much as ...

EUR is trending down, so close your longs and keep the short... that sounds like your best bet or close all positions

Urgent Help! Hedging Crisis,any solutions?

Again, what did I say in my post that was false? Should I assume that you wont answer this post just like you havent answered any of the others that ask you to explain your firm's registration status as an IB? BTW the anger comes from the fact that ...

Boston, The only reason you love FXDD is becasue you are an IB for them so lets get that straight and lets not forget that you are also an unregistered IB. I dont really care what FXDD comes out with for financials; I mean it should be a decent ...

GFT has a cool platform but their execution is garbage along with everything else except the platform.

Blatant Lies from a broker?

You should check the NFA webpage next time instead of asking a customer service rep who obviously knows nothing. url

Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

I am not following what you are saying. First of all if a trader enters a 100k buy eur/usd trade with their broker a broker would not hedge by selling 100k eur/usd. The trader already put the broker in a sell position by buying so if the brokers ...

Interbank FX. The most reliable MT4 broker around?

I dont know about all the other crap that is being said in this thread but is anyone else pumped for tomorrow. It should be a crazy day and hopefully a lot of volatility. The fun starts at 5am EST with some CPI data and the unemployment rate data ...

We will def. be in a range for the rest of this day and probably tomorrow as well. That range should be somewhere between 1.56 and 1.57. However, Wed. should hopefully show us a new trend heading one way or the other. There are some key numbers ...

I think there will room here for traders to go both short and long. I think by the end of the day at around the same price where we started the day. Look for a close anywhere around 1.5610 - 1.5630. For the very short term a buy looks okay anywhere ...

Thanks for catching my mistake. The value of a pip for that trade is def. 75K. I had 750K in my head because I was first referring to what it would be like to be down 10 pips on the trade. Which would be 750K, going into that trade with a 5 pip ...

Peter, Great job thus far... I have just looked at this thread for the first time and I have to say I have enjoyed what I have read thus far. I havent got through the entire thread but I have a question about this post and was hoping you could clear ...

No Free Lunch but all the Free Coffee you can drink

Well its hard to imagine doing a 150M trade at one time for me anyways not saying it doesn't happen. However, I truly wonder if any of these ECN's have clients that are doing that kind of size at one time. I have never really done much more then 50M ...

I have to say that is good but when you have more banks I would assume liquidity would be better. However, what I dont get is why the top of the book is so weak but the whole book is relatively strong. I just dont understand that.

For the most part when EUR is strong against the dollar then CHF will be stronger against the dollar. Not always the case but I would say most of the time. Remember it's always a dollar story in one way or another.
