currenex trailing stop

I think you'll find that when this happens it's usually because there's has been an incorrect quote in the interbank mkt also so it's not really ibfx's fault if they are deriving their prices from ebs. If the off-quote has caused any incorrect fills ...

Problem in trading with InterbankFX

Interbank Spot: "Bank Reversals" Make it a Fools Game???

an honest answer would be, I'm more comfortable with it. I'm sure if I used hsfxi enough I'd find some quirks with that. Having said that, the order matching there is more like that on futures exchanges and I've not heard of any orders being busted. ...

Interbank Spot: "Bank Reversals" Make it a Fools Game???

I've been using cnx for the last 3 yrs and with an avg monthly vol of over 2 yards I tend to do a fair number of trades. I've had trades amended freq enough to just accept it as part of trading spot as the pro's far outweigh the cons. I have never ...

Interbank Spot: "Bank Reversals" Make it a Fools Game???

This advice is prob a little late in the day, but speaking from personal experience I graduated a comp msc dgree from a top 3 uk uni (easy to guess as i dindt say top 2) and went into management consulting as I couldnt stand programming anymore. ...

Advice needed, bright future at stake

this is the only thing that annoys me about cnx. By default, the logic that cnx uses to determine which bid.offer to match against your order (assuming your order is now at the front of the q) is the best price available for your order. So if you ...

Interbank Spot: "Bank Reversals" Make it a Fools Game???

I think the main lesson is not to trade news unless you know what you are doing, and if anything goes wrong, dont complain

Interbank Spot: "Bank Reversals" Make it a Fools Game???

cnx and your broker will treat orders diff if they come from other traders. As i mentioned cnx has a last look facility for the banks providing liquidity. In this case the person chose to trade a cross with little liquidity around a time when ...

Interbank Spot: "Bank Reversals" Make it a Fools Game???

banks providing liquidity to ecn's such as cnx can and will amend trades. This happens more frequently than you think but it will only affect you if you trading style lends to the situations where this action can arise. As you know, each 'exchange' ...

Interbank Spot: "Bank Reversals" Make it a Fools Game???

Do you know how this new hotspot platform ties into the back end? I use the original hsfxi platform which is a fully matching order system which only uses limit orders (which is one of the major benefits of it over say currenex which has certain ...

MBTrading vs HotspotFX vs Dukascopy vs IB

not trying to be an ass but you do realise that it's showing 0.1m on the bid. What's the point of a 1 pips spread if you can only deal in 100k? All this fixation on how wide the spread is means nothing if liquidity isnt there in size. What happens ...

MBTrading vs HotspotFX vs Dukascopy vs IB

I agree, but I was talking more about ad hoc news that hits the wires, not scheduled data.

Market Makers & ECN’s, Is the grass greener?

the problem with most 'news traders' is that they all try and do the same thing. Hit the mkts when economic data is released. Some may get in, most will not. Why bother trading at a time when it's obvious everyone is scrambling around for the ...

Market Makers & ECN’s, Is the grass greener?

From my experience I have to disagree. Hotspot is great in that it acts like a pure exchange and all trades are 100% anonymous. Depending on how you trade hs might not have sufficient depth for you to trade in size. It is great if you feel there is ...

THE ECN room.

this is a great misconception when it comes to fast markets on ecns. Agreed the likelihood of not getting the price you want when prices are all over the place and liquidity is thin is higher but getting a worse price than you expect is not a sure ...

THE ECN room.

If you think this is the whole point of trading fx as opposed to another instrument then you're trading for the wrong reasons Any hedge fund that utilises > 10x leverage whether in fx or any other mkt is run by cowboys and most likely has less than ...

THE ECN room.

I'm not quite sure I understand why you posted the link in your message. You were laughing at someone who (wanted high leverage) or (wanted to use mt4). IF it was the former (or indeed both) I cant see why you are now looking for a broker to offer ...

THE ECN room.

Not meaning to be rude but do you understand what influences currency pairs? Sterlign yen is going to be affected by uk and jp news. PErhaps you should look at all the other yen pairs before hypothesising about any leaks.
