LMAX doesn't accept US clients and so do most brokers outside the US. You cannot even open a lousy savings account in most countries as a US citizen, what a great country, land of the free... And at the moment, they are not cheaper than Dukascopy or ...

Thank you !

@Dukascopy — I have a question regarding the volume figures displayed next to the currency pairs / crosses on the website - what do they mean ? Is is the volume that was traded in a specific time intervall ? Or is it the current volume ...

Dukascopy

Wrong, that's exactly how ECNs are. There is no such a thing as a fixed spread in the real world...only market makers "keep" their spread at certain level.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Very true ! I actually hadn't thought about time-weighted data, makes totally sense. However, I still think the shown spreads give a good indication. Finfx e.g. is almost always showing 0.7 spread for the EUR/USD on hourly average day after day. And ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

"Hedging" is pure nonsense. Brokers offer it because they can earn more comissions/spread, that's the only reason.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

What in your opinion is so special about LMAX ? There are many ECNs out there already. You should be able to make markets on Currenex and other ECNs... Nevertheless, LMAX seems like a good outfit and I hope they grow in the future.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

If you think about it, there shouldn't be any difference between longs and shorts in FX since going long EUR/USD equals going short USD/EUR. And in spot FX, it's USD/JPY while the corresponding futures at the CME are being quoted inversely. That ...

Trade What You See - Almost Naked Trading

I would avoid trading several correlated pairs at once in the beginning for if you lose, you'll lose big ! Furthermore, break outs...I have abandoned trading them years ago, instead, I only trade the retest of a break out ( i.e. price retraces to ...

FWIW, binaries can also be traded on the CBOE: url

Binary options forex broker?

Ok, so I'll have to admit I'm a dork. I just made my first trade on optionbit ( demo) and it was profitable....the payout is 181%...that means you gain 81% and not 181% as I had assumed...yet, the payout is higher than on tradersroom, just ...

Binary options forex broker?

Hi, I don't see that option either in the demo but its mentioned in the guidelines. Haven't funded the account yet. Good weekend to you as well.

Binary options forex broker?

pippindog, take a look at optionbit.com They offer much higher payouts for 30 min binaries. I can see why trading binary options is tempting, especially when you have a small account. It's tricky though....getting both direction AND timing right...

Binary options forex broker?

Hm...what about pull backs from trendlines or enveloppes on a lower time frame ? The way I trade is more or less independant of the time frame used, so I would be looking for the same things on a 15 min chart as on a 1h chart etc...although, trading ...

Forex Market Deciphered: The Equilibrium Cross

Hi Fxcube, I wasn't criticizing you in my post, I was just wondering what you are doing. I'll admit I didn't read the whole thread.

Time Cell Trading

Hi FXCube, am I reading your stats on myfxbook correctly that you are currently in the red by -$28303.78 on your open orders ? So you're letting your trades go against you for 100+ pips to shoot for 10-20 pips ?

Time Cell Trading

Seems spreads are trending up since the start of the platform: Averages for week ending 7/1/11 EUR/USD at 1,2 GPD/USD at 2,25 url Could be due to the lower liquidity after the holidays ?! Regarding the pound, you could trade at half the spread ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

I don't think these figures are up to date. They used to be that low when they started. Now, I'd say EUR/USD average during London and New York session is slightly over 1 pip... at best. But it's not easy to say since the spread fluctuates very ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

I've observed the spreads for quite a while now... so far they aren't overly competitve in that department so they will either need more liquidity providers or an advantage in terms of execution, platform usability / stability etc. Note: I've only ...
