To me this is a reason not to use them. It reaks of "we need liquidity and capital". liquiditating the remainder ASAP. See ya later dukascopy.

I don't know if that necessarily means they need liquidity or capital... Simple explanation could be 1) Small traders are not getting raw prices. i.e. they pad the spread a bit 2) they like getting commissions and can charge small accounts more than large ones 3) maybe taking the opposite side of these small trader's trades (they did used to be a MM)...

Either way, if you have some cash, there are better ECNs out there.

Cheers,

Hi all,
i'm with duakas live and have only had +++ experience with them
although i like their jforex platform and prefer it over mt4 it certainly is a hassle getting custom indicators, scripts, and ea's for jforex. has anyone else found this a problem? is there a website that has java plugins for jforex?

unfortunately rooicol, jforex strategies and indicators are very rare or non-existant to the extent of MT4 EAs and Indicators. I personnaly have to pay approx. 100$ each time I want to convert a MT4 indicator to Jforex. Sorry mate, I guess that is a problem for every one using Jforex.

Has any of you Duka kiddies had a problem with their ridiculous 30:1 weekend leverage? That would seem to seriously threaten some trading strategies.

At first I thought it would be a problem but it isn't... It helps you keep risk low if you want to hold over the weekend. I'm fine with it and glad I opened an account with them. Getting away from the current retards in Government in the U.S

Do you think it would be worth while creating a new FF thread for jforex users to share .jfx files? I only have one to contribute my self but so far i haven't found any place sharing/discussing .jfx files and jforex.

"The purpose of this policy is to mitigate risks caused by potential price gaps during market closure, which may seriously threaten invested funds."

Remember it is the Forex market you are referring to and there have been 500 pip moves, also the 30:1 applies to other market closure days too not just the weekend.

Tried it for a while but didn't like the platform. I could be wrong, but i thought order execution was slightly slower. One thing i did like about mt4 is that it lists your closed position showing profit/loss in pips and in account currency, unlike on jforex's postion report/portfolio statement which doesn't show this - so annoying!!!
