Actually my orders had passed to the FXCM server, when FXCM came back and were executed. They were buy orders coming from bullish news. I also tried to close a short order 3 times, and actually I opened 3 more buy orders, since a market close order ...

Hello, You must have missunderstood my statement. I only explained why in the seconds before a big release the price is more volatile, and I said that the small move seconds before the release might be of the opposite direction of the move after the ...

It is called hindsight
- spips replied Nov 9, 2012

I will wait for the results in order to judge this. Personally, I do not think that there is anything wrong if my account orders get matched with opossite orders from my broker. Technically, this fills me faster and with no slippage, as I understand ...

To answer my above post, I just had a chat session, the -helpful- operator told me that the execution time on the demo may lag a little actually. I found it impressive though, have not yet tried trading during fast markets. He also said that ...

For you guys that are live with LMAX (not through an IB), can anybody tell me the difference in the order execution speed between the web demo and the live platform?

They have, but in the the case that winning orders are not passed and losing orders do not close because of their clearing house -FXCM in this case- you lose all the spread benefits and much more. Furthermore spreads do not mean much if your ...

Peet91, depending on the price before the news, and considering that news will be bad for USD, then gold might not go through the 1630 res that formed on Friday. If gold is near that level and news are bad enough that res level may break, but still, ...

Peet91, gold moved much last friday, after the lousy US data regarding employment were released. Fed officials had told that a new QE (and QE is what moves gold atm since almost all commodities are in a decline due to global economy contration) may ...
