LEMESOS, CYPRUS – 13 JANUARY 2010.  Lemesos Municipality and FxPro Financial Services Limited have launched Green & Clean, a major new environmental campaign for the city, on 23 December 2009.  Lemesos Municipality is the largest in Cyprus, and FxPro is a leading online FX broker, with headquarters in Lemesos. The purpose of the campaign is to deliver greater and more efficient Environmental Health Services for Lemesos, for the benefit of improving the public health and hygiene standards of the city. The launch includes FxPro donating to Green & Clean two new ‘Green Machines’ – eco-efficient street sweepers – at a cost of ?50,000.

Lemesos’s Green & Clean is unique for being the first Cyprus Municipality major environmental campaign. Its strategy is to help drive and deliver continued improvements in the public health and environment. The first initiative to be launched is the delivery and services of street cleaning services using Green Machine sweepers, which are also being used for the first time by a Cyprus Municipality.  In only one hour, both machines can clean the equivalent of two football fields – work which, done manually, would instead take two whole weeks to do. The Green Machines are high-specification, eco-friendly and perfectly suited for congested and confined public spaces. They have fuel-efficient Kubota diesel engines, and shred and compact waste by 66% of its original size. These sweepers will operate all day in the Lemesos Municipality, six days a  week, and be run by two of Lemesos’s existing Environmental Health team, trained especially to work the machines.

Speaking about the campaign, Lemesos’s Mayor Andreas Christou, and Louiza Protopapa, spokesperson for FxPro, said, “As the largest Municipality in Cyprus, together with FxPro, one of the most successful Lemesos-based global financial services companies, we are proud to be launching Green & Clean, a major new envrionmental campaign.  It is the first of its kind in Cyprus, not only for its comprehensive strategy and commitment to improve the public health and environment, but also for the use of Green Machines in a Cyprus city.

Ok I’m pretty sure someone may have started something like this before but I might have missed it. So I was hoping to rake this up again.

Anyway, I wrote a simple indicator to help me keep track of fluctuating spreads. I was hoping to use these data to decide which brokers are more suitable for auto trading or any trading for that matter…

I’ve noticed IBFX can have spreads on GBPJPY up to 45 pips during “high volatility” periods. And that’s just insane.

you guys can probably help out with this research too.

BEFORE using this indicator, create a folder called “Spread_Recording” inside your

C:\Program Files\Metatrader\experts\files

This “Spread_Recording” folder will be holding all the log files written by this little indicator.

Basically what this indicator does is it will look at the current spread, write it into a file, then record that spread down. upon the next tick, if the spread changes, write the new spread into the log file. If the spread is the same, then don’t write it. This will save some disk space.

The log file name convention is set as

[Symbol]-Spread_Recorder-[Day]-[Month]-[Year].log

e.g. for the spread recording log file for the EURNZD for the day of 4th Sept 2009. The file name will be.

EURNZD-Spread_Recorder-4-9-2009.log

That means Each symbol will have it own set of files. and each day will initiate a new file. This helps in the data reading process.

An extract capture of the contents for each log file is as such.

Ever wish you can hop on to another broker’s MT4 demo without having to download it from their site and reinstall it? Well, here’s the answer, with some demo server files you can use.

Background

Meta Trader 4 reads parameters in from a file located in the “config” directory. Essentially, you can take a server file for any broker, put it into your directory, and be able to create a demo account with that broker.

What to do

1. You need to get the .srv file for a particular broker. I’m hoping that folks on the forum will post their SRV files on this thread. I’ll kick it off in the next post.

2. Save the .srv file to your Meta Trader 4 / config directory. You’ll probably see others there already.

3. Launch MT 4.

4. Open a new account. On the second step of opening a new account, the new server(s) should show up in the list (see screenshot). Select the appropriate server.

5. MT4 has a problem where a chart that gets opened only works with the server under which it was opened. So, if you have some charts up based on your IBFX demo, then switch to your Alpari account, you’ll need to open new charts. I solve this problem by creating different profiles for different servers.

In the coming months, the NFA will require for brokers to have $20,000,000 capital.

From what I understand there are three general choices, although most recently have chosen option 1.

1. Sell the US business to someone else. (ie: ODL USA, Hot Spot, EFX, etc.)

2. Continue on without NFA membership, which seems to be something that no one currently in the biz seems to want to do. Legacy situations like FXDD which is unregulated seem to be the only ones that can seem to get by (for now) this way. GallantFX is a much smaller shop that also comes to mind that is unregulated by the NFA.

3. Somehow operate under the radar if it is offshore based. Visit ACM-USA http://www.acmusa.com/ and you’ll see that the website is just a landing page directing you to it’s Swiss based website. They had a booth at the Traders Expo in NYC last month and were open about accepting accounts from the USA. Kind of a weird situatio

Why would a broker not like scalping?

Market Makers make money when we open positions. They earn from the spreads (and commission if they so charge).

When we open positions, Market Maker would hedge it against other traders OR they may pass it directly into the interbank markets. During slow Market, brokers may opt to take our position and wait for any other trader to take a counter position – this may take 1, 2, 3 or 5 minutes and if no traders took our position, they will pass it to the interbank. But if my position was closed too soon (and if in profit) while it is not hedged, the broker loose money to me – they wont like it.

Therefore, IF a broker dont like scalping, it implies that they are this kind of broker who play games against the trader. CRAP I wont trade with such a broker.
