Just for the record, I will say that ItalianFX is right about the negative spread lasting more than a few seconds and it happens very frequently...just happened tonight again for 1-2 minutes.

I trade EUR/JPY exclusively so I can't comment on other pairs.

It gets really bad when EUR/JPY is dropping fast. I have noticed it happen in uptrends also, but never more than a minute.

When E/J does one of those 1-200 pip drops in 30 minutes, the negative spread will literally last almost the entire move and it doesn't correct until a significant retrace.

This is just my experience with it...I haven't tried dealing on the negative spreads so I can't comment on that.

Hope this helps,
Nathan

I am pleased to report that after a server switch last Thursday I have not experienced any further disconnects.

Two days without a disconnect has been very rare for me so I am extremely hopeful that the problem has now been resolved - thanks Justin.

I could not help but laugh at a line from the log one day last week :

"OpenConnection failed, Clientsocket ..... meeting a brutal death"

I know exactly how it felt ;-)

A programmer with a sense of humour - very good !

Justin, an email should be on it's way to you.

"Did it magically disappear, or was it never there to begin with?"

I kind of resent that.

One thing I am not is a liar. One thing I am, is one of your clients.
I didn't appreciate that too much either.

One trader is doing so, I think it might be Italian? Though it is not currently supported for FX trading. If you trade other instruments via MB / EFX this is currently supported. Full FX trading for MB / EFX in Ninjatrader is in beta last I heard.

Sure, but a DOM interface does not make a lot of sense with fixed spread and no optin to make the market, for example by selling on the ask.

This is where EFX could shine, and it would be great to have more info regarding this.

I see only a big issue in using NT with EFX: those TTO orders, that are quite unusual and could make very difficult to have automated OCO chaanging on the fly.

Hi!

Is it possible to set order size as a percent of maximum possible amount, so that it automatically increases/decreases with account size?

Hi Everyone ~

Just wanted to update you on the current state of Remote Trader.

Our first Beta traders have been using the platform, and we have found no significant issues. We will be moving the second group onto the platform this next week, and then the third group after Thanksgiving. Assuming nothing new changes, we are on track to move all of our customers to Remote Trader at the beginning of December.

Several items such as Wireless Trading, Trade from the Charts, our Managed Account Tool, Advanced Orders, and Auto-Trading are coming along nicely and will be added to the main platform in the coming weeks and months. Most of this is happening very quickly now that the underlying infrastructure is in place and working correctly.

No there is no fixed date. They say they try to get it available by the beginning of december. They won't give a fixed date which is wise since you never know what could happen.

Hi mld ~

No, we are only able to offer 100:1 as this is how we are connected to our liquidity providers. We must also maintain this leverage level; otherwise we will be required to have $10,000,000 in net cap. (Brokers offering higher leverage must meet different net cap requirements as of Dec 21st, 2007)

Regards,

Giovi, no discrimination at all. An email was sent to all the live customers time ago, asking who was interested in betatesting the new platform.

Of those interested in, the first 40, the fastest in answering, were the first gropu, followed by another 40, and soon, probably, by another 40. So, I must assume that you at the time were not live or nor interested, or slow in answering.

Anyway, remember that betetesting means offering free collaboration, and it is not always a smooth and delightful path: you can be very frustrated as well.
