That's because you don't know how to read the little three and four letter words, buy, sell. Probably not going to happen for you... they should have a skill testing question requirement for these pathetic little counts, anyways, now I see why a lot of the good traders who used to come to this site have left. Dipwad, Surely you must have something better to do eh, like your hooked on phonetics lessons perhaps.. get lost
No your not, you are in fact just a rude and rather low level dipshit with no future in front of you except for the career flippin burgers.. that is your most likely next destination
This is getting tiresome, i'm almost done with this, entertaining as I am finding it. No Cableman, I think he is probably just past pre-pubescence, otherwise I let has have great pitty on this complete and total loser,., haha, holy crap, what doorknob.
Livermore traded the buckets because he didn't have access to the exchange... IT didn't mean much in the 1920s. In this day and age the electronic exchanges have created a level playing field that anybody can access, they have provided the framework for incredible advances in technology... You take a guy like Exception however, who is trading on his still trying to work out how his speak&spell and it doesn't matter who is broking him. If you plan to compete with the market makers you need to be armed with same weaponry otherwise you are just bringing a knife to a gun fight. Scalping comes down to technology and speed, and there is simply no better way than to cut out middle men and their crappy online programs, get a real trading app, and get dma. end of story. If you haven't tried scalping with X Trader you haven't scalped. It is a blast.
Of course their prices won't be all the same, why would they be, this is the point of trading with each other, to bring them together. The banks and the exchange (CME) makes the smaller dealers prices, and they make you and each other prices. The only way to get the best prices is to go to the top of the food chain, which is to bypass all these crappy little brokers in the first place and go the CME, which is probably the easiest way to get your prices from the biggest dealers, the guys with the tightest prices that nobody but nobody is getting inside of.,. unless you are a wee little scalper with a few contracts, it is hilarious you can pike'em all day long with X trader...
If you are 15 years old I am sorry for the earlier comments and I do hope you grow up to develop an ability to think critically..
The problem with comparing all these feeds run through different servers and the through esignal and then over your network connection is latency... there is but no way what you are seeing is accurate... although, true enough it would be a cold day in hell if every little bucket dealer was showing the same bids/offers... eSignal has some nice charts and robust access, but you do have serious latency issues...
they probably gave you $25 because you put an order through and the system froze up.. so they were nice and gave you a credit... that's their main problem,. a zillion clients trading 'online'. When they are all trying to execute it's impossible... you need to get dialed in if you want to really trade..
They are like an ECN, not a true ECN. They have replicated something close to a true ECN using some proprietary technology. They are just a conduit. CME fx futures is by far the best way to trade fx
