@sec, BCRTrader nu e altceva decat un white-label pt Saxo Bank.
Cu siguranta Oanda are clienti care castiga 50% lunar. Intrebarea insa e pt cate luni. Pt ca daca reusesti sa castigi 50% lunar timp de 12 luni, vei transforma 10 mii USD in 1.3 milioane USD.
Toti brokerii mari de azi merg in piata, nu tranzactioneaza impotriva ta. Cel putin in mod agregat. De ex, acum o luna 80% din clientii Oanda erau long USD/JPY. Vreti sa-mi spuneti ca Oanda era short USD/JPY? Ar fi pierdut multe milioane de dolari pe cresterea recenta.
OANDA: No, you can't do that. If you want to be filled for 20 million units at once, you might want to consider another broker. No, you don't need to close one before opening another, but you need to wait about a minute or so between the orders so we can properly hedge your trade in the interbank.
OANDA: For instance, you can do 10 mil EUR/USD, wait for 2-3 minutes, and then 10 mil EUR/USD again without closing the first order.
mike: Ok. So if you are scalping (in and out within 1-2 min.) then Oanda would not like you to be trading 10 mil lots?
OANDA: Correct. We do have clients that trade 10 mil units and close them in, say, five minutes or so. That is acceptable.
mike: I have heard that Oanda does not have a problem with scalpers unless they are using automated system to beat the lag in Oanda. Many have claimed to trade with you and be in and out of positions within seconds and have no problems. Obviously there would be a problem when trading 10 mil lots. SO what exactally is the cut off point where it gets to be a problem and you need people to wait 5 min. or so? 500,000 1 mil 3 mil etc?
OANDA: I was just saying that as an estimate. We have a client who trades 10 mil units regularly and closes out positions in only 1-2 minutes for small gains (5-10 pips). That's completely fine with us and we have no problems with short-term traders. As you have mentioned, we do have a problem with 'latency traders'.
OANDA: Those traders who use a faster feed to try to beat the 'lag' in OANDA price feeds to predict prices.
mike: yes I have heard. Ok thank you. Your answers have been very helpful.
OANDA: You're welcome. The 'waiting' I was saying was for orders larger than 10 million.
OANDA: If you are only trading 10 million, then you can 'scalp' no problem.
Traducere: cat timp nu faci HFT cu ei, sunt ok. Dar majoritatea brokerilor retail la care le-am citit contractele interzic in mod explicit arbitrajul de latenta - FXCM, Oanda, Alpari.
Dar de ar fi asta problema traderilor, ca joaca broker-ul contra lor...
