Hello Mr Trend ~

At this time I do not think there are plans to start offering deposits / withdrawals via paypal. I will send an email though to our development department and find out for sure for you.

Regards,
Well, if you do a lot of international traders will at the very least open a live account with you guys. Paypal offers a much needed additional option. Oanda does great in this regard.

I spoke to New Development we will eventually offer other means of deposits and withdrawals, but this will be sometime in 2007.

Hi Moe ~

Our pricing is decided on volume levels, as the company continues to grow and the volumes increase, there might be room for us to adjust.

Thank you,

Hi bAASHARM ~

Yes, EFX does offer fractional lots. You may also place lots lower than 1 mini. For example .5 would equal 1/2 a mini lot or 5000 in currency units.

We pay and charge interest depending on what side of the trade you are on and which currency pair. For more information please visit http://efxgroup.com/rollover-premium-rates.html.

Thank you,
Thanks,

It seems EFX fits my requirements but how about autotrading, do offer an API?

Good Day bAASHARM ~

EFX Group does offer an SDK API site, please visit; http://efxgroup.com/support.html

If you have further questions regarding development I suggest joining our SDK yahoo site and you'll be able to speak directly with the programmers.

Hope this helps,

Hi Justin,

Are there any plans to offer MT4 as a trading platform? I'm sure it won't be straightforward integrating it, but if you did I think you'd clean up.

Hello Justin

Thanks for answering all the questions. Iam about to open a live account but would like to know your roll over/swap rates. EFX seems to have far less swaps than any retail broker. It really hurts a long term/swing trader.

Am I missing anythiing here?

Hi Justin,

Hello randomcup ~<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

After careful research we have recently come to the conclusion it will not be possible for us to work with MT4. Metatrader was built for a deal desk type platform only. By offering MT4 our clients would no longer be able to receive partial fills, trade between the spread at 1/10th of pip, or have access to our ECN level ll benefits. This was something we were just not willing to sacrifice. <o></o>

As a solution though we have already started and are much further along then most would think with developing our own platform that I feel current MT4 users will be very happy with. We plan to release this sometime in early 2007. I can not comment on the new product much more then that for two reasons; one, I personally am to busy to keep up with the development of this product. Second, I would hate to make promises or provide hopes of something that is not even completed. <o></o>

So as much as we would have loved to offer MT4 to our clients, we feel at this point we have made the right decision and we hope everyone understands. <o></o>

Sincerely, <o></o>

The reason our charges are so different is the same reason that you see such tight spreads on our system. We gave up the charges to receive better rates from our banks.


Hope this helps.

Hi Justin,

I have tried the demo verison of the EFX platform. I really like it. The only two concerns that holding me back to open a live account are the chartings and cash trasnferring. I read through this post and saw words mentioned about charting and paypal services will be available in 2007. How early will they be possible confirmed?

Thanks. Waiting for your good news.

Hello Eikon ~

Thank you for expressing your concerns, allow me to touch on them for a second.

1) With regards to charting I'll be offering multiple solutions soon. The first solution will be www.fxtrek.com for $50.00 per month. The second will be our own free charting package coming in late Dec or early 2007.

2) Eventually we will offer forms of deposit, but for now there is not a timeframe on this being resolved.

Hope this helps.

My pound spread was INVERTED 10 pips on that surprise weird pound drop.
That was pretty unusual.
