ECNs anybody?

hi,
am looking for platforms where i can do size on the news, ESP no slippage no requotes, and where scalpers r welcome... was thinking of using 1-2 ECNs... any advice much appreciated!

PropFX seem to be targeting scalpers; dunno how well they fulfill your other criteria. You'll have to give them a go to find out...

i know, thks tho', i already use fxcmpro/currenex which v.much seems to be them under another name (different mkting team perhaps...?), but i'm looking for feedback from guys / gals who r actually using these platforms!

I use Hotspot and am very happy with the service. I don't scalp so much, but I don't imagine it to be a problem if I did since they aren't running a dealing desk and you are trading directly with the bank that is providing the rates. Spreads are 1-2 pips in EUR and JPY which makes it ideal for scalpers and transaction costs are $3 per 100K. You could also check into IB, not sure what their costs are though.

Just keep an eye on those "unfixed spreads".... a quoted EUR/USD 2 pip spread can end up being 5-6 pips given a little volatility..
