I second this, however it is a huge undertaking, especially in quality assurance dept. FXCM uk/GFT uk has more instruments to trade outside of forex, so a proprietary platform is more appropriate. On the flip side, it would be a first that a ...

Perhaps go can elaborate. But mt5 will bring lots to the table in terms of enhanced programming ability. One of the big advantages for automated traders is the ability to close out open trade much quicker vs closing out each ticket individually. ...

I have noticed several freezups over the last few hours, including as i type this post now. Audjpy. It came back now.

I made original post and it was mostly clarified. But then I started to reach the same conclusion you have with this post I will resummarize here: I think the central question is "what is the client advantage of having multiple DCs if trades are not ...

The mt4 market order execution is about 50% on par with the actual bid/ask price at the time (I have my EA check . It's about even 25% minor slippage against you, or for you, i think a little bit against you. But this is to be expected with market ...

It is not uncommon for a daily reboot or maintenance window of some kind for financial markets. 3 minutes is actually pretty good. MBT is 10-15 minutes. GoM can sometimes be 3-7.

IBFX manipulation or lag?

Futures traders a lot more serious when it comes to data collection. Tick data is already provided by the exchange, and we never worried about being ripped off (manditory segregated client funds, clearinghouses, centeralized connection, etc). ...

Other than api access with custom charting/scripting package attached to the api, what do you recommend for the retail client for automated strategies and custom indicators? openEcry and tradestation are two I can think of. Both in USA, and they are ...

This is unreliable from my point of view because anything can happen to your home computer connection. VPS is much more stable and redundant always-on, always-internet. You can use RDC clients for android to connect, such as RDC Remote Desktop or ...

Does any brokers MT4 mobile can be run into Android OS?

The looking glass tool url would allow you to test the NYC server of CNS to your main trading server. A couple of tests would give us an idea of what latency to expect.

GoMarkets Discussion

I thought about it some more, and now the new question is: what is the point of all the other DCs then? If only the DCs closest to the main server matter, and connecting to DCs further away actually would increase the latency, I do not see the ...

Can you also give me latency to new york vps? CNS has a "looking glass" tool. I'm guessing about 220ms or so. .I know that MBT did the same thing for MT4. For those people who wanted in early, you had to sign a waiver. But their live beta ...

This would mean that getting a vps near to the main server would be the most ideal i.e. one in sidney or at least Australia? But if we are stuck with cns (for now) Is it better to connect from the london DC? (cns) vs the San Diego DC3 (also cns)? I ...

i use vps in san diego, ca, usa. for gomarkets, 1ms or less. for ibfx au, appx 70 ms. CNS has two tools. one is a prepared chart of historical test run every so often. another is a live tracer tool that you can test any IP address latency to their ...

So it will not be the local orderbook (gom buy/sells) but currenex? Yes it will get more confusing to implement, especially trying to incorporate the volume beyond the broker level. Which volume will be "correct"? When all the options have been ...

Do you mean response to trading inquiries? general customer service? phone trading when platform is offline? Platform response time?

will MT5 be offering Level II quoting? Using a DOM (depth of market)? showing the bid and ask at different price levels and the volume at each of the price levels? url

That's probably more of what you needed. my stuff was more of an add-on as part of a larger indicator and money management project.
