Dear shellback , Nice to know a real professiona trader (I understand it from the 3 brokers you have traded). Please which UBS platform ? FX TRADER ? http://tp8.ibb.ubs.com/tpdirect/index.html REALTICK ? http://www.realtick.ch/ANIMATIONS/Realtick_Forex.htm Are you directly UBS customer or you trade with their platform by Refco or others ? Please I would be very happy to exchange e-mail with you. My e-mail is johnzamb@mail.com Thank you very much.
I trade directly using FX Trader. However, most of my trading is using the web-based light version instead of the standalone FX Trader.
Dear shellback , I have never hear about a web-based light version. Do you have a web link on their light version please ? Please can you give me your forex contact at UBS ? If you don't want to post here you can also to write me by e-mail. Thank you. Strunz
I don't know if it is true or not. I heard from others that Saxo and UBS don't accept US clients. If you have the 250k which is minimum account size at UBS, you can probably try Bank of America or Citibank. American Express also have FX accounts for non-US clients but the min account was 1M last time I checked with them.
My contact is in Canada. It's best you contact your nearest UBS office. Sorry, the web-based e-tool is called FX Web which was also on that link you posted.
Which is the execution time difference between FX WEB and FX TRADER ? Both are RFQ (request for quote) systems ? Can you give me the American Express FX accounts web link or contact , please ? Thank you again. Strunz
I haven't noticed any time difference between the 2 platforms. Yes, RFQ with timed quotes for both. Not much on Amex website about FX trading. Just this: http://www10.americanexpress.com/sif/cda/page/0,1641,6910,00.asp
Dear shellback , Thank you very much for all valuable informations you give to us. It is not common to read on this forums someone who use UBS platform (250k min. and usually only used from professionals ). The last question please....I Know that in the UBS platform you have streaming indicative prices (before the price request RFQ). Are these "real realtime price" or are they delayed ? I would be very happy to exchange some e-mail with you. I really hope you will write to me an e-mail. Thank you again. Strunz
