Wow Justin, what a reply to Forex1man.
In an industry full of ripoff artists your sincerity and professionalism is shocking.
If I can keep my head above water in forex investing I feel compelled to open an account with you just out of respect for the way you do business...'coarse your apparent small spreads and execution are a big plus too!

I agree 100%. The integrity that comes from EFX is astounding in this business. I hope they keep pushing their software because they are truly the shining star in this business.

A Java screen should pop up....make sure your pop up blocker is off.

See screen shot of what it should look like.

I just get the blank screen, i'm using ie7 my pop up blocker is off, all i got was a quick note to manage addons but when clicked, it said nothing as to what addon i needed to download.
I tried it in Opera and it came straight up.

In IE7 click on 'tools' at the top menu then select 'manage add-ons' then 'enable or disable add-ons' then check your Sun Java ad-ons to make sure things are enabled. Make sure you have the Sun Java Ad-On.

Justin, it's great you are offering FXTrek charting for free. I know it was mentioned in older posts that you guys have been working on creating your own charting for EFX, are you still working on that or are the free Fxtrek charts the final product?

Yesterday the President of the company said in this thread:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=24210

"...I’m happy to see that some of our biggest projects aren’t even “rumors” out there, meaning that they are being kept in-house and will be nice surprises when released. As with anything software-related, especially with the scope of some of our projects, there are no release dates. The release date is “when it’s done and meets our standards.”

Later in the thread jleblang made it clear they're looking to make a "killer-app" metatrader replacement to trade through EFX.

Hi Guys ~

I'm glad you dig the free charts. This is not the final charting package will be offering for free, but this was a quick and easy solution for clients not ready to pay the big bucks for the heavy duty charting packages out there.

Please provide me with your feedback.

Have a great weekend.

Justin's a class act, no doubt about that. Rare enough in life, even rarer in this business.

Additionally, you can place trades between the spread and get filled at 1/10th of a PIP.
Hello Justin,

does this always work? ie. on any pair, i can get 1/10 pip spreads with any limit order? can i always assume that there will be a buyer/seller on all pairs?

Well this is a limit order, so it doesn't mean you'll always be filled. You certainly are able place an order between the spread on all the pairs and if the market moves through the order, or another client fills the order you'll be filled as well.

i guess i really want to know what the chances of it being filled are.....i want the tightest spread, but don't want to miss a good trade....

would the demo give me a good idea of how often i'd lose out by using a limit order....

can others weigh in here? how often can i expect this to happen.....i thought that maybe bec the ecn is so liquid, that limit orders would get taken 99 % of the time?
right or wrong?

also, can u explain what u mean when u say, "if market moves through the order"

There are no statistics or assumptions I can offer about how much you'll be filled, that just doesn't seem fair for me to quote something I don't actually know the true results to.

“market moves through it” - I’m referring to the price of the current market, since you are in fact placing an order between the current market price, another client must either accept your order or the market must move to your price or through it so its accepted by a banking participate. Again, its only a limit order between the spread.

Justin: why do unfilled, pending Limit-Orders use up margin? When i am in a position, i usually have a stop-loss order (this doesnt seem to use up margin) and a limit-order as target in (when i am in a long position, a limit-sell). This margin-policy basically cuts my buying power in half.

Its not a big problem, since i dont use that much leverage, it just doesnt make much sense to me, since such a target order doesnt add any risk to the account.
