MB Trading Futures - Introduction

True, the spikes I showed were 3 years ago, but I see spikes 3 days ago at 17:00est (rollover period) on 9/5 on AUD/CAD. Regardless if trades are executed based on that spike, it distorts the daily chart. Also, I've seen more spike issues with tick ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

I'm not that impressed by Oanda. According to my research*, MB Trading and Alpari US (Pro) were at the top. Though Alpari pro requires $10k deposit. Interactive Brokers as mentioned has low comms if you trade sizes more than 100k, but haven't done ...

broker with low spreads + fast execution

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Assuming you entered with a limit order, this is because MB displays bid price on your chart and calculates P/L assuming you will close the position at market. Ex. Enter long with a limit order at 1.4000. Eventually the bid price, the price that is ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

I've recently signed up with MB Trading and seen this as well. Attached are screenshots of AUD/CAD and ILS/USD on the daily charts, but I've seen this with AUD/NZD, GBP/AUD, NZD/CAD, DKK/USD, EUR/SEK, EUR/NOK, EUR/NZD, USD/SEK and USD/MXN charts ...

Why would an ECN-broker be stophunting?

True true, trying to emphasize how poorly FT was regulated and what it led to.

Very similar to online poker. It was not illegal to play, but illegal to for gambling business to accept payments. On April 14 this year, the CEOs of the top 3 online poker firms were indicted for bank fraud (their method of processing ...
