thread: Broker which allow Arbitrage trading?

Yeah I agree.. A lot of these 'ECNs' just hide accountability by saying it wasn't it was our liquidity providers...

This my friend is probably more true than not.

The delay between bridge and liquidity could be high enough to induce slippage or neglected fills. So in terms it is.

To tell the truth, there arent many true ecns on the market. And the ones that are imitation, generally seem to be the most popular (because they offer the best conditions, which dont truely exist within an ECN). But the fact remains, if a trader is shedding, they will forever blame their broker.

ECN isn't for the faint hearted. I really don't suggest anyone go there till they truely understand ecn conditions and the outcomes of those conditions.

I think you'll discover that if effective automated trading has been 'very common' then you'd find a different image. Fact is, it's very rare compared to the majority of guide trading which is discussed here

you stating 'half the threads on here would be speaking about it' is actually quite worrying if you take the opportunity to realize what you're trying to chat about

Well that is a good point given the vast majority of traders lose money anyhow, whether using an EA or.

However from an overall perspective, 2-3 decades ago, I heard of lot of stories from different traders about being kicked out of brokers since they were too profitable, but I rarely hear that today.

As I was saying it is a lot more common today for brokers to use different methods for YOU to depart instead of shutting down you. I guess the principle is exactly the same, it is only the methods are different, as it is bad press to get a broker to perform something as blatant as kicking someone out...

I believe that you'll find that if successful automated trading has been 'very common' then you would get another image. Truth is, It's Very infrequent compared to the majority of manual trading That's discussed here

you will find it's really quite common practice. All in their tcs as well. . .the rest of the crap that ECNs say is just marketing hype; contradictory to their real terms

when they can not model the EA's logic themselves to exchange your positions until you get them they pull the plug on your entire practice

I think it used to be quite common, but is pretty rare today. If a broker wants you out, there are plenty of different things they can do to eliminate you rather than just shutting down your account. Like placing you on manual implementation for example.

The sole instance of this I have heard of recently was approximately 18 months ago when ODL shut down accounts that were using FAP Turbo. If this proved to be a really common practice, I am sure half of the threads here would be from people complaining about that. Yes, it could occur, but really frequent? Not actually...

You will find it is really practice. All in their tcs. . .the Remainder of the crap that ECNs state is just marketing hype; contradictory to their actual terms

when they can't mimic the EA's logic themselves to trade your rankings before you get them, they pull the plug all of your practice

I expect so but nevertheless it can happen. And it did occur to me, I had an EA it had many trades and was proftable and FIG FX asserted that it would be an illegal EA.

And another point is that they did not notify me, they simply shut down my account.

Hello does anybody know MT4 Broker which allow arbitrage trading?

Any of the ECN brokers with MT4 would be fine given your definition of arbitrage trading. ATC Brokers, MB Trading, PFG for example. However, these days it's rare for any broker to close you down to whatever else really.

I have an FXDD account (certainly a bucketshop and MT4), and that I scalp the heck out of it, never a problem. Of course they are not great for that sort of trading, but only making the point your experience was likely an exception, not the norm.

Not real arbitrage, I have an account with FIG FX and employed a scalping egy but they assert it would be arbitrage trading and this would be prohibited and so they shut down my account.

Arbitrage is Hopeless for Retail Traders.

Transaction Cost are to large, Excecution to slow, Position Sizing way to unflexible with MT4 etc etc
