Ah, well I am inclined to agree with Richard Dennis, the legendary trader, when he said that he could publish his system in the national newspaper and still most people wouldn't be able to make any money with it.

DislikedI already have 2 accounts at 2 different futures brokers
Broker(A) and broker(B).
At futures broker(A) and when I want a live quote on the DAX
I have to press a button to get it. I noticed that the price would be off 20 - 30 ticks sometimes compared to another futures broker(B) that has live real
time quotes.
I tried placing a limit order at broker(A) and it would not fill. When I placed a market order it filled me at the actual price which was the same as broker(B)
Broker(A)'s quotes are diplayed incorrectlyIgnored

DislikedNOTE: I NO LONGER TRADE LIKE THIS! I'm on much longer TF charts (4hr to daily) and do not spend the time in front of the charts like i did back then. Even though i know there is money to be made in that style, my life with my wife is more important to me so i found a better way for me to trade.

DislikedSome marketmakers agreements explicitly forbid broker-arbitrage tho.
Personally, i wouldnt want to rely on such a method. Legit or not, you are makeing money at they expense of your broker, this just calls for problems.
In my opinion a trader should seek to beet the market, not the broker. I also wouldnt want a relationship with a broker that frequently quotes off-market. Just my opinion, in the end it made you money, fair enough.Ignored
DislikedIF YOU HAD BROKER LIKE CMC YOU WOULD NOT BE SAYING THIS. IF BROKERS CAN STEAL YOUR MONEY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TAKING ADVANTAGE.

DislikedHi Wizard,
Do these arbitrage opportunities still exist?
Is it really the case that some brokerages can’t fix these kinds of anomalies?
If it’s still possible, why have you gone through those struggles with your trading ideas and setups instead of just exploiting these kind of arbitrage opportunities as much as you can?Ignored
