I am surprised that I do not know to which issue you are referring to. As a matter of fact, to the best of our knowledge, Dukascopy Bank SA has no claim whatsoever
...And I guess nothing is going to happen to your US clients in July of 2011 either?

Good afternoon Mr. Bellieres,
Present Case
Nice to have a COO of a bank here. I have no doubt that John D's case will be resolved in line with the highest ethics that Switzerland is famous from. I have no doubt that whatever the nature of the dispute is Laurent B and John D can handshake after the dispute is over and testosterone levels drop to acceptable levels.
Future (hopefuly a happy one)
I am using Multicharts. This is a charting and execution platform of my choice and a choice of more than 1 thousand of other traders.
I am not using Dukascopy. But hopefuly Dukascopy will become the broker of my choice.
FIX API
Me and other MC users requested that Dukascopy become a supported broker and data feed provider in Multicharts.
At this stage you are a supported broker and data feed provider through FIX API. This is a problem of ours because a trader needs to deposit $100,000 in Duka to place trades through Multicharts. The other problem is that your data feed does not send the necessary data for backfilling. Obviously you can't trade on charts with data gaps.
FIX API QUESTIONS:
1. Are there plans to lower $100,000 requirements?
2. Are there plans for FIX API to send also historic data necessary for a backfill in third parties' platforms?
JForex
We have recently requested that Dukascopy be connected to Multicharts through JForex. If this is done than we only need to deposit $1,000 which is a piece of cake for any trader. Also JForex is capable of sending historic data necessary for backfilling, which is an asset over FIX API.
Integration via JForex is most voted feature (a result of only a few days of voting). Please have a look: http://www.multicharts.com/pm/
JForex QUESTION:
Can you please help us by first reading this thread http://www.multicharts.com/discussio...php?f=1&t=7641 in which you can find a review of FIX API and then by offering your help to at least 12 desperate (more than 12 in the future) users who want to trash their current brokers and switch to Dukascopy? Any help will do

Thank you for your comments. I can only suggest that you contact Multicharts directly and see what service they can provide you. I will see what I can find out and will get back to you.
With regards to this situation I already contacted Multicharts and I can say the cost is a 5 digit figure. Thus I believe we should wait to see if Dukascopy makes any arrangements for the benefit of both parties involved and not the end-user

There is another solution to the Dukascopy problem for Multichart users. Go to FXCM .......
To ask large account customers to effectively pay a premium and still not get a backtesting facility, something which is available to smaller account holders is a nonsense!
I would hope Duka might revise their policy and come back to us in this thread in a couple of days with good news

Hi,

As for the future - let's have a look:
There seems to be good relations between Duka and PT Multistation. There are 27 traders registered at PT Multistation forum as of today.
I would hope that similarily good - if not 42-times better - relations might be developed with Multicharts. There are 1,137 traders regitered at Multicharts forum as of today, i.e. 42 times more.
