  1. Re: FXCBS

     

    Bredman - I have found the execution quality to be worse at FXCBS than JadeFX when running the same EA's at both brokers. With JadeFX, sometimes slippage will go against you, sometimes it will go in your favor. Slippage always seems to go against you at FXCBS. Also, as mentioned in another post, FXCBS swaps are way out of whack compared to JadeFX. If you have traded with MB Trading before, it seems that FXCBS is following their model of having terrible swaps on both sides of the trade as the price for providing ECN/STP liquidity. This is funny in that in a fast market news trade, I got taken "off quotes" with FXCBS while the same EA was able to close the same trade at a profit at JadeFX. I don't understand "off quotes" in an ECN environment. Given this, I moved to close my FXCBS account and moved all my ECN business to JadeFX. Account closure process is smooth with FXCBS. Took one business day to receive my wire transfer last week.

    I had a MD trade go "off quotes" when it tried to close yesterday, resulting in about 4 pips slippage compared to JadeFX where I am also trading live. I thought FXCBS was supposed to be ECN and that this would not be an issue with them. Oh well.... Soon might get to see how quickly the withdrawal process goes.

    Using JUINERTY2's USDJPY settings (Logic = 2 ; hours S1=20-21, S2=20-22), I had the following live trades last night on FXCBS:

     

    228039 2009.08.10 23:14 sell 0.10 usdjpy.. 97.129 97.543 96.532 2009.08.11 00:23 97.130 -0.80 0.00 -0.31 -0.10

    228040 2009.08.10 23:14 sell 0.10 usdjpy.. 97.199 97.610 96.702 2009.08.11 00:15 97.158 -0.80 0.00 -0.31 4.22

    228474 2009.08.11 00:32 buy 0.10 usdjpy.. 97.088 96.678 97.683 2009.08.11 05:32 96.869 -0.80 0.00 0.00 -22.61

     

    Obviously not a great night, but not a disaster either. Much better than the MD Multi (Aggressive=True, Recovery=True, Risk=0.10) hit live last night on JadeFX:

     

    857252 2009.08.10 23:08 buy 0.60 usdjpyjfx 97.027 96.714 97.525 2009.08.11 01:09 97.028 -3.00 0.00 0.00 0.62

    857345 2009.08.11 00:09 buy 0.50 usdjpyjfx 96.977 96.484 97.570 2009.08.11 11:15 96.483 -2.50 0.00 0.00 -256.00

     

    I'll see how these continue to work (or not) in forward test.

    Manual and *.exe file for the autotrading version of this system can be found here:

    EA has a dll file that calls home in order to verify subscription, but we already knew that. Manual discusses configuration and it is necessary to have all of the goldtradepro indicators and templates installed in order for EA to work properly.

    A bad experience with Fxcbs regarding costs to get money back: the bank they use charged me around 50 usd for a wire.

     

    I also got hit with an unexpectedly high wire fee to fund my account. Their bank charged me 30 USD instead of the 10 USD they have listed on their website.

  6. Re: JadeFX Anyone use them?

     

    Had trouble with platform setup once account was funded. Jacob and the security team worked overtime to get the issue resolved and me up and trading. Will have to report on fill quality, etc.; however customer service gets a BIG thumbs up so far.
