Justin-

I don't know how you guys do it.

why don't you ask him personally as you work with/for him.....

fxchant:
in an earlier post (1247) you slipped you slipped -
"@nagen – Unfortunately, you posted part of an e-mail from us, which included the warning that these e-mails were confidential. Therefore, I will request FF remove a part of your post for violating the terms of use of this board....."
ts,ts no bonus for you this year, unless of course this suddenly dissapears from your earlier post

after months of you complementing efx on their platform and service the truth comes out- you work for them .

posting it as you got personal with me about 2 months ago when i reported a problem with efx - you were rude and patronizing. i was sure you worked for them but had enough arguments with all the broker lovers around here.
disgusting behavior, but what can you expect....

EVERYONE PLEASE TAKE FXCHANT's "ADVICE" WITH A GRAIN OF SALT....

No offense intended, but thought you might like to know that fxchant was actually quoting a previous quote from Justin. Go read his post again and you will see he was referencing Justin's comments in post #1242.

Hope that helps!

I should be so lucky. Why do so many people that trade forex have issues reading? ProsperFX has already pointed out what doesn't seem confusing to me at all when I go back and read my post. I was quoting Justin from a post a few before mine.

Although, now that I've seen their new website, maybe I will give them a call about a job.

we're not all as educated and smart as you
my bad, well not all of us spend all our day in the broker discussion, so i didn't put much time into reading earlier posts.
i'll stick to my belief though as 100% of your posts are in the broker discussion area and defending efx seem to be high on your priority list.
so they stuck you on the saturday shift, that sucks
have a good day!

ps: nice way of promoting the new website, coincidentally launched TODAY! so that's why you're there on saturday...

Research is key. If you've read most of my posts, you'll know that I have stated since many, many months ago that I use EFX for my active trading and Oanda for my carrytrades, and I continue to believe that those are the best options out there for the public. I post a lot in this area of the forums about trading in general and just answering questions for newer traders that I think might be helpful. I don't really spend much time in the trading strategies section because I think people need to figure out their own stuff, and I'm not here to share my trading style.

Justin already pointed out that the website was going up Friday in earlier posts, which is why I'm looking at it right now. And, to help you out with your understanding of forex, brokers aren't open on Saturday. ;-)

I like EFX, but I'm not sure that Justin and I see eye to eye on everything. I just think that this is a great market to trade and I'm disturbed by the fact that so much of this industry is really bad people doing bad things to members of the public who don't know better until it is too late. If you read through all of the posts on all of the boards here, I think the key is that you won't find posts from people questioning whether EFX/MBTF is a legitimate company or does things like stop hunting, etc. Sure, they have an occasional glitch or problem. It's technology. But if I'm going to try to help people understand this business, nothing matters more than helping them figure out that any chance of success starts with a broker that doesn't stack the deck against you, and I happen to enjoy that cause.

And if you are going to do carry trading as part of your strategy, you should consider the firm with the largest net cap that has good rates (Oanda). They can't stop hunt you when you are carry trading.

But hey, good luck. Thanks for the Saturday Conspiracy Theory session.

After reading almost 1000 messages in this thread I got tired and will continue tomorrow, but I wanted to ask what happened to this software Omega? From what I understood and from the posts I read, about 1 year ago some new much better software was planned for early 2007, then it got delayed, then it was codenamed Omega, but there was no definite release date or screenshot of it in the webinar, and then finally right now on the website I see only Navigator available for download. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Wow! We really do have a soap going on here--loved the quote smjones! lol. I'll tip the waitress (I just don't know the protocol for tipping a chat room waitress--is it 10 or 20%?). I just want to say I quite like EFX (there, I've said it and now you can all say that I work for EFX--which is pure...well something). Current platform isn't so great, but that's why they are launching the new one, right! And if it lives up to the promises, I'll be using them to scalp over the rainbow from a beach in Tahiti on my pda phone--now that's great news to anyone, right? And yes, it is expensive, but you also have to factor in the expenses of trading with a market maker--even one as reputable as Oanda--and I won't even begin to talk about some of the other market makers. So until I have 5-10mil and can trade directly from a prime hub, I'll settle for EFX for my day trading.

Yeah, I am missing something too....it says it like it's available now, but I am reading that this thing is hung up in the approval or development process again?

Oh well, maybe I will try them again in about 3 months.

A lot of my posts are in this thread, and are supporting EFX. I guess by your logic I must work for them too. But the truth is, I usually just read the forum and don't have any reason to write, yet sometimes I get sick of seeing people making ignorant unfounded comments, and like to respond... And that tends to happen in this EFX thread.

Research is key.
it sure is- out of about 150 posts you have here in 11 months only one of them is from a weekend. august 10 weekend, where the high volatility happened and quotes were going crazy. the second time you have a weekend post is when the new efx website is going up. no 100% proof here but as a researcher i think some statistical significance might be found.. or at least the confidence interval might include you being affiliated with them. but that's the thing with CIs, if you repeat the experiment many times you're 95% confident thatfxchant will be affiliated with efx, too bad we don't have many fxchants
trading is a probabilities game, posting is to apparantely...
If you've read most of my posts, you'll know that I have stated since many, many months ago that I use EFX for my active trading and Oanda for my carrytrades, and I continue to believe that those are the best options out there for the public.

I don't really spend much time in the trading strategies section because I think people need to figure out their own stuff, and I'm not here to share my trading style.

since i assume by the way you write you are not stupid you know that you can't show 100% support for efx only. and since no one in his right mind will use efx for carry and you/they don't cater to these traders anyway the logical thing will be to show some support for oanda too.


Justin already pointed out that the website was going up Friday in earlier posts, which is why I'm looking at it right now.

again your second weekend post in 11 months. might be a coincidence though.

And, to help you out with your understanding of forex, brokers aren't open on Saturday. ;-)

so that's why the small numbers stop moving in the weekwnd? i was getting really bored staring at them 60 hours without any movement, thanks!

I like EFX, but I'm not sure that Justin and I see eye to eye on everything.

hope i made your saturday at the office a bit easier
just to make something clear: I've been using efx for 10 months now - i like it alot! (hey maybe i work for them too, might be a good idea to bash their caddy to establish credibility and then put some unbiased ideas into people's heads you never know in this crazy world we live in....). platform is a bit complex initially and carry is bad if you care but great spreads most of the time, great execution, good variety of pairs, and i'm running good. what not to like?


anyone should make there own judgment regarding fxchant. take a look at all the posts by fxchant, the threads he chooses to participate in, the passion with which he attacks efx bashers, the defense of mb/efx in the nfa thread etc. read and make your own call.
i'm not saying the info he's providing is wrong, it might just be helpful to know where he comes from.

~25% of your posts are in the broker discussion area.

146 out of 147 of fxchant's posts are in this area.
statistically it's a bit different, but thanks for wasting 2 minutes of my life checking that....

read all his posts and decide for yourself. if you read them you'll also be enlightened as to who the name caller is.

So I go to efxgroup a day or two ago, see the home page referencing the remote trader and decided to sign up for a demo.

I get my email with my login information and thinking that I'm supposed to use that on the website I enter the info and wham, my browser crashes. :-) Firefox didn't like that too much. So I used the IE plugin and the same deal. Using regular IE I just get a blank page.

But then I just realized that the page that talks about remote trader and signing up for a demo takes you to a signup page that talks about downloading software... I thought remote trader was a web based system that didn't require downloaded software?

I'm guessing from the crashes and mismatched information that part of the site went live too soon?

I would imagine you'd have to update Navigator to get the charts, if they're available. I don't think they magically appear on already installed versions.
