After switching to The CollFx I will never go back to those POS bucket shops. The spreads are insanely low. I average 3.4 on Gbp/Jpy and .6 on Eur/Usd. I paid .2 and .3 today on Usd/Jpy.
I googled CollFX and all I came up with was a user name at another forum. Do you have the web address?
I found them here: http://www.the************.com/index.html Interesting concept, but probably not for me right now. I like the spreads, but I do not know if I'd want to pay a monthly fee to get them. Also, I am not sure exactly where my money would be, who would be holding it, and what assurances I'd have that if there were a problem I'd get it back. I'm still waiting on a check from Refco! (I'm almost at the point where I can type "lol" after "Refco").
Hi Cabletrader, Here is an interesting note given your experience of a few years back. Today I went short AUD/JPY at 78.86, with a take profit at 78.46. I did this trade with FXCM and in my GFT demo acount. The real money FXCM filled me for +40. The GFT demo never filled me at 78.46, in spite of the bid/ask dropping several times to 42/45. If that was a real money account I'd be po'd.
Trying another short - we will see how GFT does on this one. Short at 78.72, Stop loss at 78.92, Take Profit at 78.42
