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.
Thanks Triton18, this is absolutely correct.

We didn't pick beta testers by random, we selected traders in the order they responded and if they had a live account or not.

I just opened a demo accnt and I'm trying to decide whether to install the last "good" version of Navigator or to dive straight into the beta.

Recommendations anyone?

The Nav rev 11.0.01 (beta) will be the only available version by Monday and is now out of beta, so I would suggest downloading that and not the previous version.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact us directly.

Justin, a good feature would be Buying / Closing trades position individually without averaging the price. like we see in oanda which also dont allow hedging as is efx.
Syafi ~

This has been discussed on these boards in the past. We are not a deal desk. A deal desk takes the other side of your trade with no need for clearing and a lot of interest in calculating what percent of your actual trades you win/lose so they can adjust your profile. We pass your orders directly to the banks, and we have to clear those orders. They aren’t held system-wide as separate positions, so they get averaged. The function of holding separate positions is a direct function of trading on a deal desk platform. It won’t happen on an ECN.

I have the same problem - I used to be able to do so and am not anymore.

I think it might be because my acct dropped under $100. (I only deposited $400 to try the service out)

In another thread you posted something I consider very enlightening:

Quoting jleblang
6)ECN vs. STP vs. Deal Desk. It needs to be made clear that there are really more than two types of platforms. A deal desk is a fixed spread platform where the desk makes their money in the spread trading against all of their customers. This rigs the market against the retail trader because they aren’t seeing true market quotes. The platform can move their quote wherever they need if they want to fill the client. STP (Straight Through Processing) platforms execute directly from the retail client to the banks. The more banks and liquidity in the system, the better the fills for the customer. ECN (Electronic Communications Network) platforms let customer orders interact with other customer orders. Non-deal-desk (NDD) platforms are either the second or third type of platform. EFX GROUP / MBTF are both. We have over a dozen banks in our network which customers execute against directly (STP), but we now also allow customers to hit other customers (ECN) inside of the standard pip increments of the banks. We do not shave anything against customer executions.
I have a simple question and rather than risk hijacking the other thread I decided to post it here, if you don't mind.

What is your definition of market maker within the context you've outlined above? Is it just a broad generic term that covers all three platform types or is it something entirely different?

Not sure I understand exactly what you are asking, but this would be my definition of a market maker.

A market maker is a dealer that supplies prices, and is prepared to buy and sell at those bid and ask prices. The pricing is typically always manipulated in away that benefits the individual or firm providing the quotes.

While this is mostly true in forex I find your answer rather self-serving as you try to make the word market-maker appear somehow devious. Here is another explanation for market maker: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/marketmaker.asp

Hi All ~

Just a quick update on the Remote Trader piece of Omega. We’ve had three groups in Beta now for a couple of weeks. We’ve taken any notes that they provided and are preparing to upload a new build at the end of this week. We will probably let them run with it for a few days after that to make sure that anything that we added based on their feedback works the way that they wanted, and then things should start to happen, assuming, as usual, that we don’t run into any surprises. The key isn’t when, it’s making sure that everything works at a certain level. Software launches…you gotta love ‘em. The good news remains that we are close, feedback has been positive overall in terms of the interface, and that many of the advanced features that some of you have been waiting for will only be a couple of months behind the initial launch the way that our development teams are working in parallel.
