Hi,
HFT with meta?
LOL
HFT is absolutely impossible with meta.
I never heard any institutions use meta for HFT.
meta is absolutely impossible below 200milliseconds.
meta is just toy.
and i have question.
How ecn brokers offer 1:500 leverage?
and,
according to rumors,
fxopen group is russian company.

100:1 is the maximum leverage that liquidity providers offer to the brokers.
So, a true ECN/STP broker who allows the liquidity providers to take care of the losing positions by allowing them to have access to the information they need, cannot offer a higher than 100:1 leverage to traders,
because liquidity providers know their own limits and they are the ones who hold and manage the open positions.
If a broker sends a signal which is above the liquidity provider’s limit, it will be ignored. Liquidity providers treat the positions based on the 100:1 leverage. It doesn’t care that broker has offered a higher leverage to an account. So, when an account reaches the stop out level based on the 100:1 leverage, the liquidity provider closes the position.

Hi Entheos,

Please let us operate on facts, not rumors.

We offer FIX API as well for those traders that need it, not just MT4. Our aggregator is more than capable to accommodate any strategy.

We offer 1:500 for accounts of up to $50,000, it is possible in a proper ECN environment.

FXOpen UK
