I do use IBFX for vsa but the screenshot was from my live account which is not with IBFX. Sorry about that
Hi Shamus and teodosy , I notice you use IBFX,
I 'm looking now for an european broker for live trading , I'm pending between Alpari UK and IBFX or any other one might be in Europe, which has to offer Metatrader too.

Could you please , eventually IM me , sorry for off-topic, if you are satisfyied with IBFX ?
Many pips

And to be , a bit , on topic, I'm a bit confused, some say in forex it's not volume like in stock market, beeing an over the counter market, but , still, i noticed there are too, in forex some volume indicators, and of course every broker obviously have volume info about orders placed by traders, so then why some are saying there is no volume in forex ?


- I mean beeing NOT a centralised market, and beeing an OTC one, I'm thinking , that volume data is for sure a bit different between brokers....

- Any how can someone trust volume data ofered by the broker , the broker might modify volume just to screw our strategy

- I mean do you think it might work a volume aprroach strategy in forex ?
- I'm asumming since this thread has 1162 posts it's obvious this "Volume Spread Analysis" is working ..

Thank you
Many pips

This has been discussed many times both here and in the older thread. Tick data can be used in the absence of "real" data.

Yes it does work and works well.

To everyone... can you please post a chart of your volume for h1 (only) on ibfx? In the chat room there has been discussion of some anomalies over the past few days and I'd like to see if it's affecting everyone or just a small handful of people.

Thanks

Guilty from reporting that in the chat...lol
So let me be the first one, so the others can compare it to mine.

This one is gu 1H... notice the huge volume these last couple of days... more than doubled or tripled the usual volume. It's visible on several pairs and all TF.

Only have one gu to compare to mine, but it's obvious both in that one as in the other pairs, that something changed at ibfx, because volumes are huge, comparing to before

My real Alpari account has no changes... all volumes are the same size as before.

Just a friendly alert to let you know to stop trading from IBFX platform until you check your prices against multiple brokers. For those affected your indicators may not be giving you the right signal because of incorrect price data. IBFX caught me sleeping this week, not checking to make sure they are being honest. I have not had the correct price feed for gbpusd, usdjpy, and gbpjpy producing many false signals. I contacted IBFX......
found this on Jacko's thread.. maybe it has something to do with your volume feeds... if not a good heads up anyway...

Trade on

Don't you think it might, ...it just might be a possibility ...that brokers can fake ...I mean modify , tick data volume , knowing that some traders use volume tick data info , just to screw a volume trading strategy ????

Anyway should not those volume tick data feeds be a bit different from broker to broker, considering forex is a over the counter and not a centralised market ?

Thank you.

One more thing ... anyone here uses Tradeguider with live feed.If yes could this guy post some pictures of some forex pairs ... I`m sure that most people will find it useful.Also some analisys would be great we talk to much abt indicators .... But Malcoml shows us that we all need only volume nothing much .... So if anyone have the knowledge to make some analisys like malcom will be just great!

IBFX offers several different data sources, so there might be another variable in the equation. Click the server drop-down in:
http://www.ds4y.com/login.JPG

to see what choices you've got.

In any event, here's my GU H1. It doesn't seem to have the sudden change in volume seen in the other posts.

What's going on?

I brought this possibility in the chat too (that it could be something related to some servers only)...

My server is InterbankFX-Demo Accounts (different than yours... I don't even have yours listed). I'm in europe, for what it's worth.

To Redox77:
Of course that could always be a possibility... but I don't think it's the case.
To mess up, they would change volume in particular moments... but what hapens now is that ALL the volume is up in quantity... like if their feed has more sources now, or something like that.
