The spreads have been terrible over the last few months, I have a dukascopy account also and the spreads always seem to be tighter with them (used to be the opposite) even though I still trade with LMAX out of loyalty to them based on how good they once were... if it doesn't improve I may me moving on
Possibly lost some big LP's ?
Yes you might be right about a few things, but your language is terrible. I like jakane's contribution, you act like you own the forum, which you don't.
Bad language will not get you very far in my opinion.
Trading with a "zero" broker is another issue altogether, you said bring me a broker with better spread than LMAX, I did.Well I got the impression that LMAX according to you is the best, and no one else gives you a better deal. I am quite sure that many DMA forex brokers might be giving just as a good deal if not better. But as you are such a big shot (come across many in my years of trading) you know best and all others are wrong.
No, but the end of your post were insulting, and you had it coming.I though you didn't agree with writing rude posts to people? Or is it ok when you do it?
I do not trade forex very often. So I signed up with xcfd.com just to try out the Exante platform they are using and get some experience trading FX. A fast platform although some important features are missing. Still the spreads on FX are the best I have ever seen a market maker offer. The platform is fast and in line with that of the Exante institutional platform when it comes to performance. How they can manage to give this kind of narrow spread I honestly don't know, slippage maybe, not a big problem with the few trades I have done with them. Is it too good to be true, probably is, but I didn't deposit that much to bother if something goes wrong. The leverage on the CFDs indices could be better, but nothing wrong with the spread (FTSE 0.7). The spread display on their homepage is what you are actually paying, and no commission. Yes a market maker and all that, I know, but check it out, sorry to say they have no demo account but you can trade almost any low unit numbers on the FX instruments.
Sorry, I will not post my trades with them, but I am amazed how well they perform considering the narrow spread, I have even seen zero spread on the EUR/USD. Maybe they give this narrow spread just to build up the client base, although it has stayed this way for several month now. Dow Jones do have a point, how can they deliver this kind of spread without some kind of foul play? In the long run they will probably increase the spread, that is my guess. I would be more careful if they use MT4 platform, but they license the Exante platform with their reputation on the line.
I think you are shouting SCAM too fast, I agree it seems too good to be true. But I will wait and see how it develops, not much money on the line anyway.
Please give numbers, you are too general in your description of spread and leverage.
Do LMAX accept FX clients from the US? If not the traded FX instruments could be ragarded as CFDs, even though different liquidity providers guarantee liquidity when there is no match from the clients liquidity base.
He is entitled to have a different opinion, I wouldn't call it spamming.
