Dukascopy

Quoting Karl_Vosp
From what I know Multicharts is integrated with at least 2 brokers based on java. These java brokers are: Interactive Brokers and FXCM.

If it is only java at stake then the integration seems possible.

Multicharts already supports dukascopy http://www.multicharts.com/brokers/, and there is a bridge tool for NinjaTrader to Dukascopy http://www.toolsfortrader.com/Products.html.
If I know how, I tell You!! Few but Good!!

The above are non-solutions for majority traders for many reasons (they are based on FIX API), just a few below:
- you need to deposit USD 100,000 with Dukascopy to be given access to Dukascopy's FIX API (I know only one trader form MC forum who can afford this and is eager to trade with Dukascopy),
- FIX API does not backfill data so your charts will look like Swiss cheese,
- money managers cannot execute multi-account trades via FIX API (so I heard).
hello all..
i am considering Dukascopy..
(actually , an individual Retail account , mininum deposit 1000 usd)

i can fit any trading platform.. the lowest spreads are not a must ,, etc...
for me , the most important thing is safety indeed..
trading safety and withdraw safety..

anybody has live account in Dukas ?
any experiences , any advices please..
the best indicator is trader's knowledge , experience and dicipline.

From what I know Multicharts is integrated with at least 2 brokers based on java. These java brokers are: Interactive Brokers and FXCM.
IB has APIs for the following programming languages: Excel (using DDE or ActiveX), C++, Posix C++, Java, and Visual Basic.

FXCM has API (Order2Go) for C++, C#, Visual Basic.

It is the C++ API that is used to integrate with these brokers.

Trust me or search through Multicharts forum.

1. IB's TWS (java) and not IB API is used for integration with Multicharts.
2. FXCM's java API is used for integration with Multicharts (on fxcm website that you might have found http://www.fxcm.com/forex-programming-services.jsp there is also java API mentioned).

If this is true (I would not have done it this way...) then apparently there is nothing that prevents Multicharts to use the jforex API.

Because I consider Dukascopy the best forex broker in the world for retail traders. I expect Dukascopy (the best forex broker in the world) to offer best trading and charting solution in one!

Having two platforms in order to trade well with a broker in 21st century: one for charting and the other for order execution is a third rate solution for any trader.

I guess every broker has their own focus. All that remains is the trader to make their choice as to who to go with.

Yes, it would be great to find that one-stop shop type of broker. But it is rare that this will happen any time soon. There will always be something that we disagree with (leverage being too low, not enough charting tools, lack of historical data, news disconnects, etc).

Another person recommended IB, but I heard the same complaints. Great feed and execution, but poor brokerage platform. It's best used with 3rd party or your own software for charting and interfacing.

I know another that uses Oanda successfully. But he does not news trade, where he admits Oanda is terrible in that category.

I guess the more self-service brokers assume we will find our own historical data and charting platforms if we find that theirs is insufficient. They focus more of their efforts on execution of trades only.

Oh, I wasn't aware about the restriction of the deposit.
Don't know if this is the same with DTN bridge, I know they are planning to add historical data feuture, but there's no eta.
Multi accounts can be traded thru FIX protocol, and it's faster for sure than the java API to jforex, if the problem was only the historical data, it could be easily passed with a datafeeder.

..Wm6 is a system I know well and don't want to buy iphone just because it is the only supported mobile device...

If someone knows how to control trades using windows mobile,please advice me how to do this.
Thank you.
I use UltraVNC on my Windows 7 PC and MochaVNC on WM6. It can be a bit fiddly but can help when you need it, for this or anything on your PC.

Apart from trading I find it easier and quicker to surf from my mobile via VNC than the mobile network.

With regard to the Ninja bridge it costs $500 which may be good value if you want to stick with Dukas but I am leaning towards switching to MBT and trading via Ninja.

Cheers

USD 100,000 is quite a lot.

I think the same case is with Duka-Ninja bridge. It is also based on FIX API.

Then I must have been mislead by yet another person who claims that Dukascopy's PAMM works only with their Jforex API. According to this person PAMM orders do not work with Dukascopy's FIX API.

Oh, this is possible, i don't know about Duka PAMM, but if it is, it's a duka limitation and not of the FIX protocol, thought.

I also agree with some of Karl_Vosp's arguments.
Personally, I would also like to have an alternative platform with Dukascopy. I want to be able to control my trades using phone with windows mobile 6 (and this is possible with mt4). Wm6 is a system I know well and don't want to buy iphone just because it is the only supported mobile device...

If someone knows how to control trades using windows mobile,please advice me how to do this.

Hi
At the current moment we have the Iphone App & Ipad but we will be implementing the Andriod Application shortly. The Andriod Application is running but not for Live Trading, we are just finalizing the last few elements before going live with the Andriod. I will let you know when it has been released. For now you can find more information by clicking on the following link

http://www.dukascopy.com/swiss/engli...watch/android/

We are also looking into implmenting a System for Smart Phones, as soon as I have any news I will again let you know and it will also be published on our Website.

All the Best

Hi

Just to make clear, Dukascopy PAMM System dose not need an API connection. It runs as a normal standard Platform but should you wish to connect to an API it is possible.

For more information about PAMM please click on the following link

Hi... A website reported that starting this month, you will allow spot gold trading. Is there any truth in this? If so, will you also list spot silver?

I asked them, and theay said you can open accounts of any size, there's no minimum to trade with DTN bridge. It works better with NT7, and they said since NT does not allow hedging positions, but works with FIFO, is better to open a MT4 account, cos it allows ti work in NET mode.
