I have answered this question many times and this is another clarification.
The AleccohFx is REAL FEED Direct from our liquidity Provder Without Any Altering Whatsoever or Any Buffer Server Between Our Liquidity Provider And You.
This is the Goal of the Creation of aleccohFx, NO HUMAN INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE LIQ PROV AND THE TRADER.
Sometimes you will see Graphical Peaks due to server bottle necking or data overflow (NOT INFLUENCING THE TRADING IN ANYWAY) and i decided to keep them as IS because i promised a FULL NON DELING DESK PLATFORM and i usualy keep my promises.
What you see is What you get, Real prices, No spread widenings, Virtualy no requotes . This is what i offer our traders at aleccoh Trading Team and You.

Hi Aleccoh. A question. Your website specifies that your standard accounts include microlot usage but doing a 'MarketInfo' check says Minimium lot size is 0.1.
So which is it? Thanks.
Forgot to add, your site specifies that you offer interest-free accounts - any conditions? Also, it would be nice to see the exact interest rates on your site - part of an also absent FAQ perhaps?
Why don't you come out with it? You are not muslim, but you want to offset your GBP/JPY or your AUD/JPY with a short and bank the swap difference with a perfect inter-account hedge...

So I've been following this thread since the beginning and decided to try the demo account. The price feed seems rather odd though, and I've attached a pic showing the difference between an ECN broker and Aleccoh. Yes, differences are expected, but this much? And the other MT4 brokers such as IB** and FX** followed the ECN feed quite closely at this quiet time of day.
There are many times when the Aleccoh price charts do not even closely match other MT4 brokers, so I'd be interested in an explanation if possible please?
thank you
Hi flexie,
I worked for a major broker ( you can read my thread ), so I understand trading from the inside out. The fact that aleccohFX is broadcasting prices that move apart from mainstream Market Makers is a very good thing. What most retail traders don't understand is that the majority of brokers use a price algorithm that keeps highs and lows in check ( or they can flip it to go outside those ranges when needed ). This keeps scalpers away during slow times and helps them find or avoid stops during most other times. Also, raw or true interbank prices are much more volatile than retail broker prices. All of this said, I haven't found a reason to question aleccohFX prices...
I'm not here to advise which broker to join, just trying to explain some basic misunderstood facts about brokers and prices. As a further disclaimer: I have a current IB relationship with aleccohFX, BUT I will be the first "horn blower" if I notice any problems. I don't have a problem openly complaining about brokers. ( again read my threads )...

Good Day All
aleccohFx is pleased to announce the end of its probation period on all accounts.
From Now on, all accounts opened under aleccohFx will be funded with Wires Transfers Directly to aleccohFx Firm instead of Mr Alexandre Habib Personal Account Since the Probation Period on aleccohFx is now Over and aleccohFx is now able to receive funds Directly as a well established Brokerage Firm.
All Accounts will be held in Switzerland As Stated on the Web Site and on numerous thread but MUST pass By the Bank's Head Office in Beirut Lebanon since they are considered as International Trabsfers For Obvious anti Laundry and anti terrorism reasons (except if you are a Swiss Resident) in order to then be Rerouted to the Bank's Swiss Branch.
All Accounts Will then be held under Individual segregated accounts numbers in Switzerland, each number representing an account holders for the purpose of protecting all funds from being altered with.
I hope that answered Mr Frank the Tank 2 question.
To Omelette
Yes we offer Microlots. This is how it goes.
If you open a standard account and trade 1 lot of EURUSD , each pip will represent 10$
If you open a standard account and trade 0.1 Lot of EURUSD , each pip will represent 1$
If you open a Mini account and trade 1 lot of EURUSD , each pip will represent 1$
If you open a Mini account and trade 0.1 lot of EURUSD , each pip will represent 0.1 $ ( or microlots)
We are in the process of implementing the 0.01 lots on Mini accounts so if you trade 0.01 lot of EURUSD, each pip represents 0.01 $ (nanolots)
To Electric Savant
As Usual you are right BUT you must understand this. The Swap free accounts have been initially introduces for Muslim traders who's religious beliefs Forbid them to pay or Receive Interest (Swap)
Now , In order to fully hedge someone's position in GBP/JPY , many traders unofficially used such accounts to do so. This is called in 99.99% of Brokers that offer swap free accounts : abuse and is treated as such (closing of all positions, Black listing, etc...)
Now the difference with aleccohFx is that we permit OFFICIALLY all traders, whatever the religion is , To do IT OFFICIALLY in return for a 5$ per lot per day rollover fee.
To Riffster

aleccoh, I appreciate the reply. I'm well aware of pip-values, btw. However, your website clearly states that 0.01 lot trading on standard accounts is permitted which is misleading and should be changed imo.
The reason I'm pursuing this is that I have opened a standard account with you, partly in the belief that I would be able to work with 0.01 lot sizes for EA-testing purposes. I was already informed by your support team that this was not possible and I would have to open a mini account, which entails going through the entire application process again - inconvenient to say the least...
Finally, as I suggested in my preceding post, details of the exact swap interest offered on the various pairs is missing from your site. As you know, these can vary considerably between brokers so most would consider its availability mandatory.
I appreciate the info. on interest-free accounts. One question. Is this $5-per-day charge per full-lot size, $0.5 per mini-lot (0.1) and $0.05 per micro/nano-lot (0.01)? Thanks.
are you still trading old dog new tricks? I'm gonna start demo testing it soon.
Aleccho, please update when you have GBP account, also why not have 1 standard account where we can choose what lot size we want? I don't understand mini and standard accounts, CMS does 400:1 with universal account, they don't have mt4 thats why I'm looking for MT broker otherwise I'd be happy with my cms live account.
First of all i would like to thank you for noticing this Error on our Website and i hope I can Count on you for informing Us of Any Error on Our Site or On our Platforms.
Yes , It is Stated 0.01 lots on our site and Yes you are right , We do not trade 0.01 lots at the moment but are in the process of instituting it.
Here Again, Everybody can see that We are Human and can make Mistakes and That we rely Heavily on your support for making this Brokerage Firm the Number One in the Field since it is : Owned 100% By traders, Overseen 100% By traders and Most of all Able to accept gladly Critisicm and respond to it by changing the errors into Victory.
Yes , as you said, The 5$ per Lot will represent 0.5 $ per Mini Lot and Soon to be implemented 0.05$ per 0.01 Nanolot
To Cryten
We are experiencing a lot of technical Problems as it is regarding our decision to include Forex, Futures, Stocks and Commodities on the Same MT4 platform.
We Promise you however to do our Possible to accomodate you as soon as we are Technicaly Bullet Proof with the help of all of you.
