API is $60 a month. Not a train smash.
Look - I'll use them before any of the other MT brokers, but Oanda for now is king, those 1 unit trades means I can compound per tick really. Sadly the API fee there is a bit steep, $600 a month, but I've done serious volume on them, 100 000 trades plus a day. Show me your pips!! |

But LMAX doesn't have MT4, correct? 60 a month is ok, with some traffic it's free as well.
I was trading MDP at OANDA successfully, but once I made some 800 bucks in a matter of hour I started to get rejected orders on modifications right away. Created new account, started smaller, all fine, bigger orders coming through - got blocked again. Withdrawn in the end. Makes no sense for me. Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker. |

We'll - all I can say is I had no issues at all with them despite my volumes.
If you were using MT I'm not surprised, they haven't gotten that sorted there at all. I used the JAVA API. Show me your pips!! |

Alright. Thanks for the info. Yes I used off-the-shelf MDP bot with MT4 more to test and see, but now moving onto my own algos and with API as well.
But do you refer that LMAX has MT4 or not? I haven't see this offering on their web, just some Multitrader in addition to crappy web trader. Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker. |

They have it yes. I saw it somewhere. But MT is so slow. Every time you add to a position it generates a new trade, so if I been working a position for a year I end up with 100 000 trades or more.
To close them in MT takes about 18 hours. It's a joke. Show me your pips!! |

That the way MT4 works - it doesn't work with positions rather with orders/tickets. It's a dealing desk oriented system. I am interested in regards to manual trading though, no intention to use MT4 for HFT stuff.

Manual trading I wrote of years ago, no quality of life sitting there staring at a screen. That's why we have computers. Can stare at the screen for me....

Agree in part but I don't mind spending 2-3 hours a day on session open scalps and managing some end-of-day trades. Although I do believe algo will rule trading soon. It's quite substantial already.
I have gotten Multitrader platform and demoing it. I have to say it's amazing, best platform I have seen to date including Ninja trader and ATC Trader for Futures, not mentioning JForex from Dukas, and crappy slow metatrader. Lovely software, mega powerfull and ideal for scalping. Similar but better equipped than Ninja, awesome looking. Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker. |

API for $60 a month and with a small 1k min is surely worth checking out the orderbook, realtime quotes for testing purposes. I've never heard of lmax so after some google searches I through the info together and stuck it here - http://www.pipinvestment.com/forex/fx-wall#comment-1686 One Pip At A Time: Pipinvestment |
