I'm interested in them as well ! Judging by this website url , they offer the tightest spreads around for smaller retail investors - apart from Oanda, maybe. They use Integral as their liquidity source which seems to be similar to Currenex, as far ...

Hello Justin, can I trade both spot fx and futures from one account with MB ? Thanks, TL

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Theoretically yes, more traders means more liquidity and thus tighter spreads. In this case,however, retail traders on LMAX themselves will never be able to provide the liquidity needed to achieve spreads in the range of 2-3 pips, imho. LMAX would ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

I'd say anything above 50M on the ask/bid one pip away from price at maximum. Am I dreaming ? Or does it exist ?

I don't really worry about it, I would simply like to know what is possible in FX. If you manage a fund e.g., in many instruments, you will sooner or later experience the problem of lacking liquidity, especially if you trade intraday. Your positions ...

You are right, my bad. However, I still haven't seen fx ecn's that are really superior in liquidity to the index futures ( S&P, Eurostoxx) trading at the CME and Eurex. I know that with FX, it depends on the deal your Prime Broker gives you, account ...

I just dug up this old thread on ET: url In the end, it really boils down to how much capital you have. Depending on your capital and strategy, it might well be that the futures markets in general offer much better, especially fairer conditions ...

I'm talking about Vengeances screen shots in this thread. Yes, I know, however, I have never seen 1M per every 5th decimal quoted, at least not on the "retail" CNX platforms.

I'm just surprised that liquidity isn't higher on most CNX platforms, considering that FX is always touted as THE most liquid market there is while in reality it seems much easier for the little guy to dabble in the index and bond futures where ...

Seeing the screenshot of LCGFX's currenex, I would have expected liquidity to be much higher.... I cannot see how that kind of liquidity would be attractive to big traders. One might as well trade the futures at the CME then... Here is the order ...

I don't know anything about Jacko's trading performance, so I'm not going to comment on it. However, regarding trading in general, I think that you are somewhat naive. I'm pretty sure 95 % of FF members cannot make even one single pip per month in ...

Hi, thanks for the info.

Where do I start with my fx education?

I'm curious, you write you would join J16 and at the same time claim that Chris Lori's course is the best out there. Would you be willing to explain ? Is Lori's course only for total newbies ? Thanks.

Where do I start with my fx education?

Hey James, you've hit the nail on the head !! One prerequisite for being a profitable trader is being able to survive in consolidating markets ! I'll openly admit that I still haven't mastered this piece of the puzzle.

Hi melb-nyc, I'll second what dreamtrader wrote...you make the difficult look easy . I'd love to see more of your trades and understand the reasoning behind them.

Yup. There certainly are some smart guys who have programmed profitable systems, I know someone who did, a physicist...but an automated trading system does not work until infinity...and it is certainly not easy...whenever I read about these "EAs" it ...

Hi dwildes, yup I see what you mean. I was just confused about the fibs since the move went a bit higher than the 50% level ( namely to the 0.61 level), but I guess you have to be a little flexible since trading is not an exact science.

Hi dwildes, on which high and low is your fib based on ? I have a 61.8 retracement at 1.2750, drawn from 1.2910 to 1.2510. There are obviously many possible ways of drawing fibs, which can be confusing for a newbie. Anyway, would appreciate your ...

Hi Alex, I'll agree ...the principles apply on every time frame. Please keep on posting.

Hi Godfrey, yes, that has also been my observation. Very often, differences between Volume Profile and Time Profile are negligible. Sometimes, the Time Profile gives the best levels for the day, some times its the Volume Profile.
