How can one work around restrictions imposed by forex brokers on arbitrage strategies?

Wednesday, January 18, 2017 1:35:05 PM America/New_York

In the vast majority of cases, scalping and arbitrage strategies happen to be more profitable than any other strategy. As a consequence, brokers whose business model is based on the B-book and on making money off deposits lost by traders – such brokers are not interested in clients who use scalping and arbitrage methodologies in their trading. For that reason, brokers can resort to certain wily techniques that prevent traders from making money. They might, for example, require the trader to keep an order open for more than 5-10 seconds, sometimes even for minutes. Or they might use add-ons that allow the broker to increase the execution time of an order.

FIX API gives the trader access to real-time quotes and market depth as well as the ability to submit market and limit orders via protected communication channels.

The time before the adjustment is complete is a time that allows astute and nimble traders to make money. Traders who engage in this kind of activity are said to be trading the news. I would like to introduce you to one of the most effective strategies to trade the news and join those traders who take advantage of these situations.

Latency: what is it?

First of all, we need to understand what latency is as a concept. In IT lingo, latency is the amount of time it takes for a computer command to be carried out. More precisely, it is the period of time between the input of a command and its execution. Expressed in milliseconds (a millisecond is a thousandth of a second), this is a term that is used widely in trading on the forex market, where it represents the amount of time that it takes for a broker’s server to communicate with a trader’s request.

Some advice on how to interact with the broker

Thursday, November 9, 2017 9:10:57 PM America/New_York

  1. We do not recommend using free VPS from brokerage company if you plan to win money. Broker will be able to login on VPS and check your strategy;
