That pretty much proves that VL4X is a whitelabel for FXLQ.
How were the calculations performed? I can't quite tell from the graph what the "average duration" of a change in spread is for FXDD. If the calculations are Ask-Bid and the Ask price leads the Bid price by 1-3 seconds, then that definitely makes sense why the graph would look like that. Seeing so many fluctuations (5-10?) in one minute make me wonder. Post 666 had spikes that looked more like someone beating the graph with a hammer for IBFX, this looks more like one number was chasing the other.

Daraknor,

from your messages I understand that you don't like IBFX and FXLQ.
I can easily understand for IBFX just looking at the spread.
But I understand less for FXLQ as their spread seems to be much more reasonnable. What would be for you the other points that make FXLQ not a good choice?

I recently installed Metatrader4 but when it camr to selecting a server data feed it only gave me one choice MIG demo.

I was hoping to use the Intrabank server demo.

How can I switch so that I recieve that data ????

You can download the Interbankfx MT4 here: http://www.interbankfx.com/info/ibsetup4.exe

Guys..do any fo you know which of these brokers are on GMT timing and other than interbank caz of this half day problem on sundays..thanks in advance and merry Christmas to you all.

Spiky data indicates price manipulations. When I eyeballed the data I saw a lot of spikes vs other data sources. The data spikes that you see on IBFX are also present in FXLQ and there are many stories of people having a total of 3 lots trading, they had a SL of 50 pip from current price. They manually moved the SL up to 10 pip from current price, and then just a few minutes later a one tick spike took out the SL. That is a price manipulation by FXLQ, the clearing house for IBFX, FXSOL, Velocity4x and FXLQ.

If you look at: http://www.metaquotes.net/manager/
"analyzing aggregate positions of clients and managing your own company's positions;"
combined with:
"sending quotations to the general dataflow on the server;"

That means "find spikes that make you money but don't cost you any money. send data spikes to close out SL positions and take the cash."

Please remember that brokers use a system based on multiple pockets. Your money is kept in one pocket. Their liquidity money is kept in another pocket. The money they have trading at the liquidity islands is another pocket. Their profit is in another pocket. If they cause you to loose money, but didn't enter the market on that trade, they put your loss in their profit pocket.

FXLQ (IBFX) clearly does this.

Anybody have experience with "Crown Forex"?

(www.crownforex.com)

How is Direct Forex ? http://www.directforex.com/


BTW,does anyone know server adress ??

thanks.

That is too good to be true. Must be something wrong? Beware!!! I downloaded their demo and boy, do those prices change quickly.

Most of the messages here about negative sides of the brokers.

Which broker you think is the best and you would recommend??
