Hi Justin,

What is the criteria for becoming a "preferred broker" with Forex Factory??

I've emailed this Q? to FF with no response...

Thanks

P.S. what relationship do you ( EFX ) have with 3D Forex???

Also, do you forsee a reduction in Commission....from $50/mil to maybe $25/30 per million range?

I have said this before, and I will say this again:

I have demoed the platform, is fair enough....I can't says it's the greatest, nor the poorest. It gives all the basic info you need. But without a charting platform, you are seriously handicapping yourselves to the retail market.

I for one will have no issues switching over whenever that issue is resolved.

But, as I have noticed, my broker's prices don't line up exactly with EFX, so using their charts on your platform isn't an option.

Also, I would never pay for something that is free almost everywhere else. It is for this reason and this reason only that I haven't switched.

I will be watching the development of Omega with great interest.

Hey Jarhead ~

To become a preferred broker you must have a long term relationship with Forex Factory as a sponsor and be a reputable broker as it is my understanding they don't just accept anyone.

3DForex is the ECN that seeks out best pricing, either through internal matching or proactively seeking price improvement with all the participants on the network including Banks, Institutions, Market Markets, and Retail Orders.

With regards to commissions we do offer price breaks based on certain volume level requirements.

I hope this helps.

I haven't had any problems with the "live" account for the two months I've been trading it until yesterday and today.

It's happening with the Open Orders.

Yesterday after the 12:00 midnight downtime, when it came back online my TTO was gone for one of my positions. I had two positions open and one of the TTO's was fine, it was still in place, but the other one had disappeared. If I had gone to bed before realizing this, my SL would not have been in place. Yikes!

Today after the 5:00 p.m. rollover, the opposite happened ... I had only one position open, and one TTO originally placed, yet two TTO's appeared in my Open Orders window for the same position. Weird!

I deleted the 2nd TTO manually.

I have a question ...

If I hadn't been at my computer to remove the 2nd TTO, and let's say my position got triggered from the first TTO, would the 2nd TTO have entered as a "position" or would it have be nullified and disappeared, since it doesn't have a position attached to it?

I'm just a tad bit worried now about going out to run errands or going to bed before the server maintenance times. Hey, I don't wanna be like those people who are prisoners to their favorite soap opera, lol :

Also, should I put in a support ticket with MBT to have this quirk looked at, or do you (at EFX) take care of it on your end since we've signed up through you?

I know you handled my demo quirk a few months back, so wasn't sure if you're able to handle the live quirks, as well

It appears that last night a large amount of GTC orders were lost through maintenance on one particular server, most were put back in manually by us over the next hours. It is possible you had put your TTO back in the order before we had a chance to open your activity up and see what had happen; therefore it showed up twice in your system.

We identified how this happen, it shouldn’t be happening again.

This is a good reason for EFX to have a backup server for maintinance.

We go through multiple clearing houses; all which we prefer not to mention since our software and bank participants is proprietary information.

I’m sure you can understand my reasoning as we have put a lot of time, energy and money into creating something that at this time no other broker has yet accomplished on this level in forex.

I understand your reasoning for keeping the information private but as a cliant of EFX I wish to know this info. The main reason is so that I can look up the reputation of EFX's clearers. I am a member of an Forex club and we were discussing that it is a good idea to know the reputation of the clearers that our broker goes through. If you wish you can give this info to me through private channels.

Thanks!

I would not give out that info either. Who is to say that you are not going to post it all over the net under a diff name? That is something they worked on. Their executions are GOOD and they are NOT a bucket shop, that's all we need to know

I agree EFX is one of the best. As I stated before I am a client meaning I have an account.

No malicious intentions here if they won't give out the info then so be it. Lets let Justin answer.

I'm sorry, but our agreement states with many of our banks and prime brokers that we are not to disclose our relationship.

I will tell you this though. We spent a lot of time building relationships with many of these houses to provide you the best liquidity and execution possible and we will continue to do our due diligence and bring more and more to the table.

Thank you Justin for the honest and frank reply. I guess since you can't tell what clearers EFX goes through you probably can say how many so we can have an idea of liquidity?
