I found dukascopy unreasonable

when i short gu @149500 with amount 500k ,jforex respond :
08:33:18 Order 38295999 was REJECTED: Rejected by counterparty

though my account is a demo one ,i think there should be no counterparty at all


isn't dukascopy an ecn broker?

I found Emacsen idiot with his Monopoly banknotes.

Duka isnt a bucketshop (they dont trade against you) - so if there is no actual buyer for your sell. no trade will happen. Welcome to real world ECN. Orders only complete if a actual buyer/seller is present at your price.

no counter party? do you understand what trading is?

I think the confusion might be that it happened on a demo account...

Still I would expect it if the Duka price feed in showing no liquidity at that time.

the reality is if nobody "has their hand up" there is no counter party

I just don't think that such thing could happen. There are millions of people trade different pairs each day. There is no way that you will not have somebody on the other side that is not trading opposite from you. It just doesn't make any sense at all.

Hi,

Demo rely too on market volume & try to emulate live execution. The problem with ECN remain volume and you need always some one in your opposit trade. BTW in same situation market makers will find a way to game you on same condition as they will loose money there.

Some time notice you can get better pricing due to volume too, it's not only against you. It's the market.
