The problem is not the broker, but the market. I have never had a problem getting fills on the news because I play the Forex Futures, not the Spot Forex. With Forex Futures, you get the same price movement, but usually only a 1 pip spread, and $2.80 commission for the trade.

Fills are instantaneous. And there's no screwing around with a contrived price or data feed, because it all comes from a central authority -- the CME. And a pip in the Futures is $12.50, not $8 or $10.

The only difference I've found between Forex Spot and Forex Futures is that my losses are far less with the futures than with the Spot Forex bucket shops.
Are your futures brokers open for 8:30 news releases? I've been using binaries contracts, I think also called Spread Betting maybe, but who I'm using doesn't open until 9am. So for the news trades, I may miss some big ones, and I'm trying to figure out how well the JPY releases work.
I really enjoy it, but as far as news goes I can't do anything on big 8:30 releases on my account.
The ISM on the 3rd was a great play. Disappointed that I can't do the NFP.

...and GFT orders are merged if trading same pair . For example long 100K gbp/usd @1.9764 And short 200K at a higher level @ 1.9812.

cannot play both sides. So will be net short 100K @1.9812.

I am looking at www.odls.com or www.saxobank.com Both allow u to play both sides.
ODL has two retail platforms one is green the old one and the other is red the new one. This was suppose to come out in Oct 05 but was just released in Oct 06 there sending a patch for it like once a month and hear it just crashed on NFP.

ODL, doesn't like news trading. You will find if very hard to get out of trades around news time, from my personal experience I had while with them.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Yes, I can trade 24 hours-a-day with the Ninja Trader platform, if I use the Zen-Fire feed. Get a practice account to try this out. There are several brokers who use this combination; I use Amp Futures, and I don't get a referral fee.

How do you like AMP? I'm looking for a new broker for futures. I've heard good things about zen fire, in your opinion is it as good as they say it is?
Therefore what??
