got an email saying execution speed has got faster. Anyone seen any difference?

Lets face it - it is pretty close to what everyone wants from an ECN. You cant knock that for retail clients. I have been doing spread comparisons over news announcements against other SB firms and they stack up ok...bit stcky at times but on the whole not bad for us small fry.

if anyone is using MA crossovers can you tell me when the trigger should be pulled? If you are eyeballing a chart should it actually cross over for x periods to confirm or can you dive in on the basis that it 'will' cross?

You boys offering IPad for MT4?

I have an account with LMAX....ever since they started. Yes they dont want retail retail anymore but service is still good and spreads are as 'real' as we are going to get....more of the banks are sniffing around them...chances are that if you use a spread bet company they may well be feeding...

Slightly off topic but if the system was to be automated would you be able to sell it?...could you sell it via the MQL4 community and do you know what Metaquotes/ broker takes out of the pot?

i have an account with them and use it occasionaly. I prefer to see all commissions in the spread rather than paying outside it....that is just a preference and is not to say LMAX is good. I dont like the chart package. At the end of the day you wil have done your research and probably found...

is Saxo a bank?.......not in the UK its not its Saxo Capital....it is robust though and will not go broke soon. Dont know Duka but hear they are ok too. I think you will be fine with either

Redtag - my pleasure - have you seen...they have a rebate on Yen pairs. What do you reckon?

Sadly its very easy to do, but if you are trading with a dealer...IG, LCG, ETX etc etc you should realise they can move the price.....it may be for legit reasons or otherwise. In any event we should be greatful for having the choice of so many providers. Its a great leveler.

I'm with you on this one MB - 75% just dont do it for me. How do you do it Kevin?
