cooltrader28,

..."they are both MM and ECN"


What it depends on? different types of account?

When will the historic data downloads be back?

There aren't 2 brokers FuXari UK and FuXCm in whole world. THATS WHY!

What broker would you recommend then? Im uk based and geared toward day trading with EA's.

The concern:
I was just thinking ... I have read claims ( forexpeacearmy) of broker initiated spikes to prematurely stop-out specific clients who tend to do well. We are not in a position to validate this claims in isolation but as traders we can use our own ingenious to make sure that we get standard data feed on a day to day basis. If we are in the same co.then we should all get identical price feeds.

So my suggestion was that first we choose time frames of which we will post Excel sheets of the previous days data on a day-to-day basis. Also to prevent any possible data manipulation by individual traders, each post should be accompanied by a screen shot of the time frame's chart.

Choosing a standard:
1). I choose the 15 min time frame since it can adequately capture an entire days trading chart as a screen shot.
2). Secondly I will attach a template plus an indicator -
fibonacci pivots indicator which has day separations (labels) and various S&R zones with prices indicated on the key levels. With this we should get uniformity to substantiate the excel sheet data posted by a trader.

How to capture data:
Go to Tools > History Center > Forex > EUR/USD > m15 > Export. Then copy the day of interest data onto a new spread sheet and attach to your new post here as well as a screen shot capturing the entire day.

For Starters sake:
So to kick as off .. here is my m15 EUR/USD chart for 28th May, 2010




Looking forward to your cooperation. Cheers

this is an excellent idea.. im not trading @ alpari so please start a new thread for this and dont post it here

i had price manipulation @ fxpro.com this is a real scam broker and when u start this new project we will find a lot of people that investigate this manipultion a lot..

the question is : what can we do ?

hi,

I've opened the thread under broker discussions ;

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=238907

As for what we can do .. that is why the FSA is there?

jz opened with alpari uk and like it... no problem with the dealing although i did get re quotes during peak time which i think would happened to any brokers.. however, i got shocked to be charged £5 for using my credit card which i didn't find any information about the charges... other than that, it's a good broker...

they dont have fast execution

I set up a simple EA on a Alpari UK demo account and found that a lot of 0.01 at a TP of 300 would result in a gain of about 25 pips. However when I set it up on a small live Micro account I found that I would always be closed out early by 20 to 25 pips, resulting in a return of only 5 to 6 pips on any of the majors and at any time of the day.

Is there something I am overlooking here? Can anyone here explain this at all?

I have sent Alpari a note but thought I would ask here in a more neutral forum as well.

Would appreciate any help on this. Thanks

Phil

hi guys,

from malaysia,

plan to open live account with alphari. have contact them but i find the customers account service is poor and slow response in answer questions.

Anyone from malaysia use alphari uk?. Please feedback.

i am still consider if there is an better alternative beside alphari uk.

already prepared the documents for certified ready.

i think will go for either fxpro & oanda. service is good , their email support is helpful which answer to All customers questions in real & most importantly Helpful.!!!!

anyone have use fxclear ? . i heard good feedback from friend. kindly share your experience.

fxpro is total garbage compared to oanda ..
