It's called interest arbitrage... It works but there's usually an extra fee for opening or closing positions in Islamic-style accounts. I'm not sure how Armada Markets charges for this.
How does Armada Markets perform interest arbitrage? I have tried all kinds of strategies with futures, options and even ETF-s but I have never managed to earn anything from it.

"They" don't perform it.

It's a strategy market participants (traders, institutions, hedge funds, banks, etc...) could perform should the opportunity present itself.

First impressions trading live with MBTUK (through Multicharts). I'm experiencing delays and slippage. Not good. I'll see what gives next week.
For anyone interested, MBTX+MCDT working fine on eur/usd today. Think not setting Navigator preferences for single click order entry was problem. Getting fast fills on market and limit orders and OCO combos are working fine.

How safe are my funds? I have been hearing different financial reviews regarding this broker and its prospective future outlook.

I realize the funds are segregated, but i'd like to know for sure my deposit is somehow guaranteed in the event of this company possibly going under?

I'm not sure someone like that would jump on-board if LMAX had no legs?

My funds are backed by the FSA, Britain is perhaps one of the safest countries to 'house' your money.

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a minimum PIP distance from current price for Stop Loss/Take Porfit orders with LMAX or Armada?

I downloaded a demo MT4 terminal with Armada and there is a 15 PIP requirement for Stop Loss!

Not on the LMax platform, no clue about MT4.

Took a chunk of funds out of my Lmax account the other day, and this afternoon had a very rude LMAX employee asking why I had done so!! WTF! My money I do what I want with it bloody morons. Maybe a sign that they aren't well funded if they shit themselves everytime someone makes a large withdrawal.

Though I don't know about your case, we should know about anti-money laundering law.
Especially doing deposit&withdrawal with "relatively" short-term.

Yes its all relative, time size etc, but conducting their due diligence without the attitude results in a much better result for all parties.

''We do not charge swaps because swaps are usually an additional cost for a client. As we are traders ourselves then we want you to succeed.''
This is the most peculiar non-explanation I ever heard from the so called broker

There must be a catch. Are they really going to lend you a few 100ks for free ? lol
Sure there is a catch. They are not lending for free. They simply aren't lending at all. Traders at LMAX / Aramada or what's their name play video game, not real spot fx.

Don't you fellow traders think there are too many LMAX / Armada shills in this thread?

Like I said before, this bröker was promising at first, but then chose to go downhill. There's always gonna be shills though.

What exactly constitutes the perfect broker or are you guys looking for something that simply doesn't exist?

I make money with bucket shops, I make money with 'ECNs' I make money with Currenex.

What's that they say about a poor tradesman blaming his tools...

This is the only explanation for this as far as I understand. You cannot lend money for free. This would imply that you are not trading directly on LMAX with Armada. I think they are doing themselves a disservice with this kind of marketing.

I dont understand either how its possible that Armada doesn't charge swaps. Sounds like free money. But i guess thats a question for Armada rather than LMax, since lmax does actually charge/pay swaps.
