Regarding non-major pairs: LMAX has poor spreads and liquidity. They really should add more LPs or join aggregated vendors.

from LMAX terms and conditions:

free access to LMAX historic market data (account type) classic: 1 month, premium: 6 months, pro: unlimited

those guys are silly..
As I said earlier these limitations are related to the LMAX data. Fastbrokers collect its own data from lmax, so on their platform any timeframe is available from ticks up to custom frames for any LMAX pair or product...

Beside Armada, LMAX also provide MT4 platform directly (but it did not put information on their website). I have live chat with them. They sent me a link to download MT4, and said that min deposit from credit card is 1000$

We dont need Karthik for any reason. Seem he use our name to get some bonus from LMAX.

Does anyone try demo/live on MT4 platform from LMAX? Does it has any different/advantage with Armada service? Any issue with deposit/withdraw?
I'm trying it now. There're gaps at least on demo. Hope to strat testing it live next week. As per 1K deposit, I've told you guys a week ago about their offer.

But with a live LMAX account with Web client access, can you simultaneously get the same feed into MT4 for charting or is it that the MT4 account is separate from the Web Client account?

Well, yes only their platform is ridiculous.
Possibly their data is usable and they also offer some kind of API; but it is such a pain to get his hands on it just to test it..

Yes they have their own api, but I am not a programmer, just using Pathfinders so don't know much about API. No complaints with their data, you can create your own timeframes like 3minutes, 20 tick bars etc.

I am just trialling the Pathfinder platform through Fastbrokers (LMAX feed), first impressions are excellent. Anyone else have experience?

What do you mean by gaps? Do you mean that the MT4 charts are missing data as compared to the LMAX Web Platform charts? If that is so, then would the reason for that be that MT4 is just not designed to handle and ECN type enviroment since it can only process a limited number of ticks per second as compared to other more professional trading platforms?

Well, if you compare their MT4 charts with Pepperstone's ones (which use Integral MT4 bridge) you can conclude that the problem is with PrimeXM bridge. Didn't compare it with LMAX web platform but people here say that there're no gaps their. Additional thing which worries me is that after 5pm i.e. after London session is over their spreads became 2-3 times wider. And yes,when I say gaps I mean the charts are missing data.

RVD Markets (Russian Broker) was mentioned above I think. They offer LMAX/Currenex feed as well as 'Integral' liquidity provider.

Not heard of Integral before but they seem to have better spreads than LMAX and Currenex - according to http://www.fxintel.com/live/

Anyone know anything more? Are there any other brokers using Integral bridge?

Pepperstone and finfx are offering Integral bridge. There are others (like robofx) but those two are the most famous.

And about the better spreads, they do offer a better spread most of the times (higher commission though), but unfortunately they don't provide the depth of market. So you won't know how thick the liquidity of the price for that tight spread.
