Erik, I'm interested in what you're trying to find out as well.

We currently trade using Currenex, but don't like some of the platform's features and the "undisclosed" flexibility that some of the banks posting liquidity have.

Let me know if you find anything out.

I'm with a small firm in NYC that is gearing up to trade spot forex. The firm is of sufficient size to participate in the institutional market. We have traded on currenex and don't particularly like the 'last look' provisions.


Does anyone trade on EBS, FX All or Lavafx?

thanks,

Erik

scalp100, we're in a similar situation and considering the names you mentioned. You might also want to add Baxter FX to the list. Let me know if you find out something.

FXAll have recently come out with a new ECN called Accelor that doesn't take millions to trade on it but from talking to one broker who provides access to it the liquidity is not as good as Currenex and that the bid/ask quotes are much tighter on Currenex. Maybe this will change in the future when they get more clients.

scalp100,

They gave me a view of the live system today. The prices looked pretty good and the liquidity decent. They claimed not to have a 'last look' feature like Currenex. They claimed to be an ECN.

baxters has got the most unprofressional institutional platform amongst all the main ecns. THe person who made the decision to use flash for baxters should be fired. That aside, the spreads on avg are better than cnx via my pb and is less prone to untradeable quotes. If you can trade with baxters via fix then it is a worthwhile addition alongside cnx (whihc I still use more as the volume is greater) If you dont like using cnx I can only assume that you are perhaps trading when it's exteremly volatile i.e. aroudn news, in which case no ecns is going to provide what you want.

ditto about accelor .... it's shite. the platform and the liquidity

I'm surprised no one has yet mentioned Hotspot FXi. Its sub-pip spreads are much tighter than anything I've seen on Currenex. Currenex definitely has it beat in terms of liquidity, but FXi is catching up fast in that department.

sccz97, we use currenex hubs, but not the GUI. I think their platform is crap, especially with all the order limitations. For our discretionary traders that need currenex liquidity, we use another front end. For our algorithmic traders, we access the liquidity via FIX, so no need for the GUI. I have just seen the Baxter liquidity, but none of our guys have ever traded there.

it is very complicated plateform really and no account statment if you want to know how much you made or lost you need to ask your bank direct i think it is not a good idea not to have statment in it .
spreads are good but not that tigth i think hotspot fx is tigther even mb hahahha really have tigther spread but haveing ,y money with a small firm doesnot really make me fell better so i am looking for ward to use hotspotfx or may be capitalforexpro .
i used baxter as i was managing an account for AK invest company in albania
baxter is for really millioners that dont care to see there statment every trade they made
my regards

liquidity from which co?

P.S. Baxter claiming quite big number of participating banks however has low-quality pricing..

No last look on Baxter, that's one of their best advantages with the fast execution. Liquidity is no good during asian session but very competitive with other true ECNs during London hours.
