The same, FXCM is growing even faster now as Refco was their main competition in the market. Trader/God

What broker do you use for trading NFP that you can recommend? Anyone who was trading it on last Aug 4th got slammed no matter what the broker. Most firms aren't large enough to have enough liquidity to handle big moves. A large guy might not be all that you want but I can't imagine a smaller...

Problems with fundamentals, what does that mean, that you were in the market during NFP and blame your broker? Like most brokers, they have entry orders, if thats what you mean by auto execution. They also have and API if you are more tech saavy. Customer service with that firm is top notch...

Not to be discouraging, but I can guarantee the system doesn't work and anyone who promises something similar is most likely lying to you. After looking at nearly every name and popular system available for sale at nearly every price one pattern emerged: they don't work. FX is a mountebanks...

Certain charting packages like Intellicharts will let you choose your feed (ie Comstock or FXCM). For the most part it doesn't matter that much because they are only going to be a few pips off and your trading isn't going to be affected by your charts showing 114.21 when the market maker showed...

Three issues that I've heard about the firm: 1. Technical issues - many more than most brokers will have. Crashing, error messages, etc. 2. Negative balance - Most brokers will prevent you from having a negative balance, AFAIK CMC will allow you to run a negative balance, which means you could...

Trying to set up a straw man for yourself? I can open an account with several market markets in spot FX and trade against them if I want. So if I see one platform with a price thats off, I can trade against it, can you do that? In FX all that matters is net positions, different back offices...

Most brokers do not pay anywhere near a fair amount of interest and some will not disclose in advance how much they will pay, you should find this out before you open the account. Here is the foolproof way to do what you are asking: Open an account with the broker who pays the highest...

In the entire world there are less than 3,000 interbank terminals, I can assure you I'm not trading directly on the interbank without your help. Its a 1.9 Trillion dollar market daily, I'm not sure what you think would make it more transparant, I only see opportunities for profit if prices are...

For a free service IFR is excellent. As someone else mentioned a Bloomberg terminal is the way to go. dismal.com is good as well, their analysis is top notch. Trader/God

Why would anyone still be trading futures is beyond me. Spot FX is where the action is and where the pros are moving toward. Dealing with exchanges is a nightmare and no way on its cheaper. Trader/God

I'm not personally familiar with Marketiva but from what you posted they sound like a joke. Most retail platforms will allow some form of "scalping" but if your trading depending on very rapid short terms trading you should use a pro level with no requotes, and you won't be able to blame your...

As if forex wasn't risky enough on its own are you seriously suggesting people but their money in an unregulated Russian firm? I'll stick the the regulated US based ones for now. Trader/God

Nearly zero market impact. IFR feeds dozens of these "news" items a day. Trader/God
