History shows such market intervention is doomed to failure. Will be interesting to watch.

Final update. My trading has tapered off a lot in frequency to the point of once a week to sometimes once every two weeks. I've found the Latitude platform has grown very sluggish around news announcements with my last experience saying the platform ...

Yes, I did not update earlier. The spreads are variable.

Another update on Latitude. Basically getting filled during volatility was pretty sluggish, taking a number of tries. The ping delay was sometimes at a maximum of 1300ms so that would explain the sluggishness. They have shifted their software to an ...

You can get a fill in fast moving markets so long as the price doesn't tick during the ping delay between you and their server which incidently is usually upward of 500ms indicating that it's off shore. The spreads are fixed so that pretty much ...

Hi Jim, things are okay. I havn't had any problems with them. A thing to note is that entering a trade during extreme volatility can take a few tries. They seem to be doing everything right at their end so far.

I was giving it a bit of time before saying anything but at the moment it's very good. Execution is instantaneous and clearly currently automated for me. If the price is moving very rapidly and you click buy/sell but there happens to be a change in ...

Do you get paid by them? Why the heck would you trade with them?
- Grantman replied Jul 5, 2008
Well I've received the full amount of my cmc trading account into my bank account now so that's good.

I'm still waiting for them to receive a document I had to post. I would have thought they would have got it by now. I was expecting to be going live today so I haven’t been able to do any trading as of yet. CMC have just withdrawn my account balance ...

I've never seen that page. I was using the launch from their website for my demo account. Good to see the info is transparent.

When I first read that I was thought "oooerr, that sounds dodgy". However I did a bit of looking and correct me if I'm wrong somebody, but a rate manager is basically what banks and stock exchanges use to monitor all the buying and selling and ...

Cheers Auckland man. Yeah I'm not at all confident about Latitude, my account should be going live with them tomorrow and I'm sure I'll find out soon enough what sort of business they are running. I think if I were to launch an account overseas I'd ...

I was investigating tricom and gft forex but after reading all the bad publicity tricom has received regarding its impending doom and likely rescue by saxo bank, I'm not to sure about it. As for gft forex, I have heard they aren't above manipulating ...

Cheers dave, I'll look into it. Are you with them yourself?
- Grantman replied Jun 24, 2008
Well after reading this thread I wouldn't touch FxOpen with a 30ft barge pole. I don't care what sort of trading is done with them, if they don't clearly prohibit it they are a deceptive bunch of weasels.

One thing I have to say in CMC's defense is that while their service ground down steadily and generally became shockingly abysmal (in contrast with how it started), they didn't do anything dishonest in terms of price feeds, altering order records ...

Totally serious. I'm a news trader. Note, I'm not a time delay trader or a 'shark' like that, nor am I a scalper. That wouldn't work anyhow with the snail pace execution and requote service cmc provided. I'm now on the search for a new broker also. ...

Cmc markets are in Australia. I just got a phone call 5 minutes ago from them saying my trading strategy was "incompatible" with their service and I have been given notice my account is being shut down. Good thing I'm heavily in profit with them or ...
