Hey Josh Dance ~

Did you make it to our webinar last night? If so, what did you think?
Sorry Justin, I did not, but I will be at the one on July 24. I don't know if you have any control over this or not, but if I could see just ONE screenshot of the mobile Omega app it would just make my day :-) No doubt you guys have the UI pretty well set--would it be a big deal to do this, for both the desktop and mobile platforms?

Not really sure on RSS (Rapid Signaling Service) Justin. I assume it's something Dustin's people created. I considered that the RSS was the problem, but again, lots of others using the same thing got filled (at better prices than my 12 pips away limit order) at the bucket shops during the same release. And that's really at the heart of my concern-that this is an EFX problem.

Not trying to be a pain in the axx, but the way I look at it, I "lost" (by not getting in) over $1000 when I shouldn't have. But I'm willing to keep moving forward and we'll see how it goes from here.

@ TC East

to keep this thread clean I have sent you a pm but I think you have to much faith in the signal service your using and will leave it at that.

The rss software you are speaking about from Secret News Weapon does not work with our system. This has been confirmed by SNW and has nothing to do with our liquidty or platform.

If you check your trade history you'll notice that the order never even reached our system therefore it could never had been filled in the first place. Please don't rely on signal services to be the answer...they come and go, but a good trader doesn't.

In the future please contact us directly instead of making assumptions on the boards.

Thank you.

funny, all the time he was so proud of IBFXs execution, there was never any mention of their wild spreads during news times.

Hey Justin, you used to record your webinars, do you still? I find that's the way to get the most out of them. That way you can use your platform at the same time as you're viewing the webinar and pause it if necessary.
Best Wishes, Tom

Yes I still do record the webinars, they can be found here; http://efxgroup.com/events.php.

To all ~

Hopefully starting Monday we can all get back to the true purpose of these boards and that is gathering and sharing information without the attacks and agenda's.

Everyone have a great weekend.

Justin,

Seriously, EFX/MB have to bring OMEGA the MT4 clone online soonest possible.
The current platform is not really user friendly, that for sure.
Make sure that OMEGA support proxy connection, just like other MT4 platform.

Justin,

I was wondering if there's a site whose charts work best with the navigator? on several sites that offer charts, the price from the navigator really varies.

I have an account and am looking to find the best resources for it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Justin,

I seen your webinar but i hve problem excuting an order without me sitting in front and glued to the screen?

Qty: 5mini lots with different TTOs
1 single Short Limit orders with 3 profit targets (5minilots) and if possible various stop loss (different stop loss pts is not critical but different Target profit levels is important to me)

e.g. 2mini lots to take profit at price 1, 1lot at price 2 and 2 at price 3.

Hope all is clear.

thank you.

However, as expected, we have come to the point that improvements can be made in rates. I would expect an announcement shortly that many of our rates will be changing (for the better), which will make the situation more appealing for some of you carry-traders.
Any news about the swaps?

OMEGA - PENDING
SWAP - PENDING (very high swap fee for SELLING YEN!)

EFX is pleased to announce a “sneak peek” webinar to answer questions about our platform, our upcoming Omega product, and anything else that you’d like to know about Forex execution.

This 90 minute presentation will be given in a GoToMeeting on Tuesday, July 24th, at 8 pm EST. Space truly is limited on this, and will NOT be recorded.

This is a unique opportunity to hear about what motivated our decision to create Omega and to ask questions about the product directly to one of the key architects. We feel very strongly that this will be a major leap in the Forex world, and this first public discussion about the platform might later be viewed as a key turning point in the industry. All are welcome to attend, listen, and ask questions.

Topics will include:

• Brief overview of how Forex works

• History of a deal desk

• Comparison of deal desks to non-dealing desk concepts

• Evolution of EFX platforms and the decision to go Omega

• Overview of some of the key Omega features

• Discussion of likely rollout process

• Q&A

We hope you’ll all be able to join us for this exciting webinar that we know many of you have being waiting for very patiently.

For charting we have our Datafeed with eSignal and Intellicharts, have you tried either of these?

If you'll email me at [email protected] I can get you more information on the above charting packages, pricing and available discounts.

If you want to sell short at limit 5 lots with 5 different TTO's you'll need to place 5 seperate orders.

1 lot sell limit with a TTO
1 lot seel limit with a TTO
etc.

This way you can set different targets and stops for each lot.

Make sense?

I'm having difficulty getting responses from MBTrading regarding FIX and that is how I want to do automated trading. They won't even tell us if we're allowed to connect test code to the demo server :/

Something really weird happened today with AUD/USD.

Below are my two screenshots. I'm using NY timezone (instead of my own timezone), to make it easier to see exactly what time this happened.

On my Intellicharts there was a spike downward to .8780 at the 20:00 (which is 8:00 p.m. NY time). For some reason the Intellichart feed was not coinciding with EFX Navigator, so I went to look at the FREE Intellichart site (http://efx.tradesecuring.com/misc/freeefx.asp) to check if that chart showed the same data as my chart.

When I looked at the FREE chart, I noticed that there wasn't a spike like my chart showed. I thought this was really strange, because why would my chart show the spike and not the other one when they should both be using the same EFX data feed.

Not only that, but while the spike was happening, I saw the EFX data go to where the spike went so I knew that it had actually occurred (I was in AUD/USD at the time, so I saw the numbers jump when the spike happened. It didn't affect me though, because my TTO wasn't hit by the spike).

Anyway, because my Intellichart wasn't showing the same data as the FREE chart, I decided to exit the program and reopen it to see if that fixed what I thought might have been a glitch or something.

Sure enough the spike disappeared and my chart now looked like Intellichart's FREE one (without the spike).

I then just dismissed it and figured since I didn't take a screenshot, I couldn't show any proof of what had happened.

Well, several hours later, I was looking at a different timeframe for the AUD/USD chart and noticed the spike back again. I flipped back to my previous timeframe and the spike wasn't there. I thought, how weird!

Anyway, this time I took screenshots, lol. I have them both at the same timeframe, so you can see exactly at what candlestick (see arrow) the spike shows and where it's not there (I took the "no spike" one first, then refreshed my chart to show the one with the spike).

So, did anybody else see/experience this?

Justin - why would the spike disappear for several hours then reappear? This is not the first time this spike-disappearing-act, lol, has occurred. It happened once before (a while back), but that spike never reappeared (or to where I had noticed, anyway), so I did not bring it up that time, mainly because I didn't have screenshots to prove what I had seen, lol :

*edited - Oh, I forgot to mention ... the FREE Intellichart also shows the spike now, lol.
