What do you mean, "realible" ? The prices that you see in the level2 display are quoted by Goldman and JPMorgan as well as LMAX customers (unfortunately not that many).

Porkpie, they told me they would sort the spikes out this weekend. I've also removed it from my system for the time being, but would appreciate an update from anyone still trying it out next week to see if they have improved it before I put it back on my PC.
Spikes are still there. Not as many as before so slight improvement. I am using the platform once more to execute trades as it is lightening speed compared to their java based platform which is worse than my meta trader broker platform.

I think as always I'll avoid all these fancy toys and just use the web platform, which has to be said is instantaneous for executions!

Thanks, Porkpie. I'm tempted to try it again, as I really liked the way you could set a preset stoploss and TP on a trade and then just trade with one click, and also make adjustments from the chart.

Entering a stoploss each time on the web platform could not be more unintuitive- it drives me crazy! I'd hoped they would have addressed that by now.

Cool, I would love to have a AUS based account too, everytime I withdraw I don't lose $$$ to bank comission.

More on the lower comission, have you got a hard and fast number yet?

I didn't think they would bond with customer so I never bothered to contact my acc manger at all, I guess it's time to be more involved.

Just thought I'd post this response from my account manager at lmax about some of the things I'd raised earlier in the thread. Looks like lmax will have everything on my wishlist except for the iphone app charts. (iphone users make sure you request this with your account manager!)

Hi xxx,


Nice to hear back from you.


[font=Calibri]I have just spoken with our Tec guys and can confirm that adding charts onto the I phone App is not on the agenda. However at LMAX our clients feedback is very important,...

Yes, that looks crap. Please let them know about it- as it's a beta and a work in progress. The more people that complain about it, the sooner it will be fixed.

Agreed - you really need to forward that comparison on so they can see the issue first hand!

The LMAX Trader charts are okay. I wonder why the data in MC is so bad? I'm sticking with fxcm+Sierra Chart for the time being and using the order ticket for execution. Wouldn't mind looking into just using MC DOM for order entry and not using the charting as I find the LMAX order ticket a bit clunky. I wish they had something like the Ninja Trader DOM or some kind of stand alone offering that could be downloaded and offer greater speed and flexibility. Sierra Charts is a very stable platform and would be great as a charting and order entry option for LMAX. Written in C++ though and I think LMAX api's are either Java or C#(.NET). I'm not a programmer. Upshot is that LMAX is great for scalping but the tools they offer don't quite match the potential. I suppose LMAX users could band together and pay a programmer to write to the api if enough of us wanted a better price ladder/DOM to use? Just a thought. Could use something like Bracket Trader which I used with Interactivve Brokers. Solid and simple. Could something like this be adapted?

What about the MC order entry? It appears only the charts/data history is broken at the moment, but the DOM etc should be ok?

Personally i can live with the web GUI, even tho there is definateliy room for improvement.

Yup. I've given up on MC too and it's a live account. Utterly useless at the moment.
