I've been using MC for a couple of days now and absolutely no problems with eur/aud/usd, tick, time or volume data (I'm using a demo account but the data should be the same). Platform is stable and the order entry tools are very nice.

Does MC offers 1 click trading ?

Yes. All sorts of strategic combos either directly trading the chart or from DOM (this is difficult because of .00001 price movement). I don't think DOM can be customised to .0001 pricing? If anyone knows better please tell.

Can you exclusively on prices of LMAX or are their prices aggregated with other prices of other providers ?
Do you pay the same commissions as when you are trading with LMAX ?
Commissions are the same and the platform is free when you have an account through FastBrokers. The platform has multiple connection capabilities, so you can have it connected to LMAx but also simultaneously to other ECNs like Currenex or Integral based feeds.

This is the dome on Pathfinder Trader using the LMAX. There is decimal pricing and trading through it is pretty smooth.

Hi Jfk,

I use Multicharts with a different broker. To customize DOM to .0001 pricing, you can go to quote manager, highlight the instrument, click on the instrument tab, click edit instrument and in the window that pops up, go to the settings tab -use custom settings- change price scale to 1/100000 and set minimum movement to 10.

Note, your stops and profit targets would be rounded off too if you customize.

Withdrawing to your visa credit or debit card in my experience takes on average 2-3 working days. Deposits are instant.

Well, I've just reinstalled Multicharts on a clean pc, and the spikes are still there. It's still crap. Don't bother with it, Bleek- I don't see any point in using it at the moment- and it's so slow at updating charts if you change timeframe to daily from the hourly chart, it takes about 2 minutes to load!

Ok, rant over..

Prompted by your rant I fired up MC for the first time in a while, and it looks OK to me now (see below). This was on a live account. Was your piccy on a demo? LMAX tell me there are still issues on the demo feed, which should get fixed over the weekend.

Cheers,

Jim

P.S. My chart combines M1 and D1. I see yours is H1, so I tried that instead. I see spikes

I have to second this. Live feed is spot on. I've been comparing the speed and granularity with MBT/ MC DOM and it's a different beast altogether. Taken some live trades with DOM today and if you're a scalper of majors, there is no competition as far as I can see. Instant execution of stops and limits. I've had NO slippage. As far as trading the bucket shops, this really could be a revolution. Spreads were never as tight with Interactive Brokers (perhaps some of the popular crosses) and the MC platform blows other in house jobs out the water.

Hi Jim. Yes, I do. But the live feed is the one that counts.

Which type of order you use when scalping? Limit or market?

thank you

My H1 spikes were on a live feed. Maybe this is just stale historical data from the "bad old days"?

I've had no issues today. But as in all areas of this business, you have to be on the ball.

In order of frequency, I would say: stop, market then limit. Sometimes I hesitate in a limit and it turns into a market. Sometimes I miss out on a stop and it becomes a limit etc, etc

I'm on a live feed, and it now sounds like it's a problem unique to my version which is version 7 build 90. Maybe I've missed an update or something- Can someone please verify that this is the latest version? Here's a screenshot of the workplace with 4hr and 1hr charts of eurusd and gbpusd- it's completely useless

You are not alone man, I have the same problem. I also have missing data too which make price jumps around like crazy. See attached file. I have contacted them about this, I have the same ver as yours.

The web platform has the same spiky data but not missing data. This is frustrating.
