ElectricSavant: "Try CoesFX. You asked for the best not a whole list..." I've heard bad things about CoesFX. Do you use them? Johnny
No I just demoed them at the request of an institution that was interested if I could trade there. I declined after the demo as they did not fit my needs. But I did not really see anything wrong with them. What bad things did you hear, as many institutional traders use them? Michael B.
Electric: Just what I've read here on et. A lot of negative remarks. I'm testing their demo now. I like it so far as it remind me of a level 2 screen in stocks. One thing though their commission is a bit high. What do you think of hotspot FX and IB? Johnny
If you on the institutional side perhaps HotSpot, CoesFX and Currennex are some choices disscussed. I am a Big O man... Michael B.
go to http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/demo.php Click on "Individual Demo". Should take 90 seconds to load. Click through to the application and go to the "World Indices/Currencies" tab. At the bottom of the page you can see (and test trade) on our live prices. The "exchange" is called IDEALPRO. USD/EUR in half pips looks funny but it should be 1-1.5, 2 pips in low hours. ECN type model: we charge a commission but we won't be on the other side of the trade so there is no conflict of interest.
IBJ: Already spoke to one of your collegues last night. I will give the demo a try. Thanks for the link. Johnny
