All Brokers have to have trade desks, but the problem is how they use them. Some use them to get rid of odd lots for clients, close trades when a clients technology goes down, some even allow for verbal orders. But then some use the desk as an ATM that can spike, hunt etc the client. It all depends ...

Due to my various years of trading and contacts in the industry, and also living in south florida when the TS Borg got their start, I know of them quite well. And what TRO says is quite true. They have their own little dictatorship, and nobody can change that. Their customer support is a tragedy and...

Like I said before, welcome to the big time TRO. Any who, talking about trading times and news. First of all most news announcements cannot be traded in forex because of gaps, like yesterdays action on the EUR/USD, if you look at a 1 tick chart you will see that after the news release, the gap was s...

Avery since there is no centralized market in FX, there are literally thousands of individual markets in existance. So if someone has an account with FXCM and they are trading 3 wide fixed, in that FX market the spreads are fixed. Now when you move up to a CX provider that does not have fixed spread...

Hello. EFX has modeled their pricing along the lines of CurreneX, there is a very tight spread plus a fee. Most CX White Lable providers start at $50 per mio, and the fees go down as the volume goes up, with enough volume you can get $15 a mio. I believe that EFX is $50 per mio firm. IB is 20 per mi...

Oli, IB spreads are comparable to CurreneX but I would not reccommend trading sub sized lots IE mini lots, IB claims to be designed with the professional in mind, so sometimes the small lots don't get filled or are partially filled etc. This is very bad for a rookies confidence, it is hard enough to...

Patch, ET = Elite Trader, a good site, but one negative is there are a lot of trolls and disgruntled traders, the posters are also not very kind to rookies. I don't know TRO or Mic, I came here for the Tickquest stuff. I have been watching them to see where this board is headed, so far I like it. I ...

Well well, Mic and TRO you have finally hit the big time! Being a regular contributor and denizen on ET, (under another ALIAS) I have seen this stuff a lot over there, and you now have bonified controversy, threats, and accusations. And not only that, but TRO now has his own Troll following him arou...

Oli, I am glad you are opening up to Neoticker. I am a professional, which means all of my salary is derived from trading or trading related activities. I started using Neo in 2002 to trade futures, qqqq, and I paid full price, by the way. Now I am using it to trade FX managed accounts. My perspecti...
