    i asked quick a demo for CNX London Capital Group.

    they sended me a demo and a live access with 0 money on the account (lol)
    live is different then demo.

    live looks like a ECN should look.
    spreads are ok (0.1 pip many times) most of time 0.3 - 0.4 pip

    volume:
    at bid ask normaly 1
    but it goes down at 0.1pip so for 1 pip from bid / ask there is between 40 and 50
    and that seems ok.

    (example: bid = 1.35755
    liquidity to 1.35745 about 40 - 50 m)

    following IB next to CNX (LCG)

    spreads on IB are a little bit bigger BUT

    AT the bid ask the liquidity on IB is MUCH better.

    So i dont know if you get the liquidity on IB on the bid ask or not.....

    if the screenshot is the vwap (Volume Weighted Average Price),it is a mere coincidence.because some white lable of currenex have the similar screenshot but not a vwap .
    I want to find out pros and cons of lcg currenex for an account
    thanks


    If the liquidity on IB is better and the liquidity is real ,why make a market order should have a slippage (more than the normal quote)?and IB ask customer to use limite order instead of market order.

    Have you used a market order with IB TWS FX?
    I never use ,I trade forex future with IB ,very good commisions.
    but I know somebody have some experience with the slippage of market order to trade with IB TWS FX.
    IB say that only on the phone ,not on the paper.

  7. moarla: if you switch to "Enhanced VWAP" in the top-side menu you should see about the same like in my screenshot

  9. Should be possible, in the drop-down menu where it says "Standard" by default. At least it worked for me.

    I'm probably going to sign up with them in the near future.
