Hi guys, anyone of you are Malaysian and using Dukascopy as broker? I have problem with getting my signature to be proved as truly signed by me from the commission of oaths as they only can prove that it is my original copy of passport and ID in Malaysia.
If any of you guys have done it (signatures proved by the commission of oaths), please do let me know how/where do you do it. Thanks.

Well drop MT4 for starters.
Other than api access with custom charting/scripting package attached to the api, what do you recommend for the retail client for automated strategies and custom indicators?

openEcry and tradestation are two I can think of. Both in USA, and they are into futures/stocks already. Fxcm has strategy builder....assuming you would consider fxcm. But any other retail forex brokerages offering custom programming availability to clients?

just thought of one more: gft uk. again, had futures already.

I did a sampling for couple of days (in February) for E/U and got ~0.9. Can't remember if it is for the whole day average or just EU-US session.

Certainly. I've never gotten too much into 3rd party platforms but I know there are several good ones you can chose from such as MultiCharts and Ninjatrader. I've used the latter a bit in the past and it's pretty nice, should meet all the needs of a chartist. There are several brökers you can connect to through such platforms such as IB, MBTrading, PFGBest (I think), etc.

Dukascopy lacks in this area too as they choose to only support their own proprietary platform (as far as I know).

Futures traders a lot more serious when it comes to data collection. Tick data is already provided by the exchange, and we never worried about being ripped off (manditory segregated client funds, clearinghouses, centeralized connection, etc). Backfill tick data is common for at least 2-4 weeks back, and many third parties collect data at no cost (usually for their charting package). Professional datafeeds (eg eSignal) were available when you wanted serious real-time and back fill data going back for years on demand.

We had SierraChart, NinjaTrader, StragetyRunner, MC, AmiBroker and maybe 100s of other charting packages, in addition to the broker platform.

Metatrader really lacks in this capacity, although user could self-collect tick data, and load it manually for strategy testing. . Brokers could also do this and make it available to clients for strategy testing. But surprisingly the demand is not high enough to justify the cost.

retail forex: it's getting there.

Multicharts is nice. wonder if they finally got a DOM going for it.

I can't see market depth

Why I can't resize this window? Is it due to Java?

Yeah. Neither MT4 nor the new MT5 support tick data, which is really pathetic for a platform that is the standard platform in retail forex. Metatrader is only so widely used by the masses of small retail forex traders though, so it makes sense to me (besides the fact that it's free).

The thing I like most about Dukascopy is that they provide free and quality tick data.

Dear Trader

You can have your ID certified at any Public Notary Office. Please ensure that the stamp clearly states that it is a True Copy of the Original. Also please ensure that your signature is on the ID document, if not please add your signature to the copy and have your signature certified also.

Also the slowest and most inconvenient, you forgot to mention that.

Credit cards are used securely everywhere everyday. Get real already and give more options and convenience for your traders.
