watch this video. can be interesting

Talking about ATC. They are located in the USA which means no hedging (unless different accounts for buy and sell), first in first out on same currency pairs etc. The spreads are good. Only FinFX is close. Their spread is sometimes less but they ask for more commission (US$ 7per Standard lot round trip).
Yesterday I mentioned FXPro claiming to execute orders below 100 ms, but I was meant to say forex.com. Sorry! But anyway I don't see any ECN connection and their spreads are quite high.

About ATC, if you are NONUSCITIZEN no problem with NFA rules and FIFO. :)

what if you have got few passports ?😎

they ask for your ID scan. DONT SEND THE US ONE. LOL 😇

Thankfully I do not have US ID😀

Steve, before I posted I had a chat with a representative of ATC. That's what he told me:

Nasser: In regards to hedging, our liquidity provider has the hedging setting from their back office turned off. Which means the trades that are sent to the liquidity provider gets offset with each other. This is done to abide by the no hedging rules in place by the NFA and CFTC.
Nasser: On the MetaTrader 4 platform, the hedging remains activated, which means that if you buy one contract and you sell one contract, the position on the MT4 will remain open, however, when these orders from the MT4 are sent to the liquidity provider, the trades are offset with each other
Rudolf: But friends told me that the rules do not apply to non-us citizens
Nasser: The rules apply to all accounts

My discussions with ATC goes very past. to be true I had not discussed about hedge issue due I had no hedgıng EA. my discussion was focused on levergae which is 1/200 for NON US CITIZENS. I guess I made mistake on sayıng NFA hedginig rule.

thanks for correcting;)

No problem. Anyway, ATC could still be used for arbitrage trades as they would see only one order.

all brokers unless they dont cheat slpp or requote :)

Steve, I AGREE WITH YOU!
This is what I actually meant.
Please read my above comments where I stated the same that this guy's account will show excellent curve and Sharpe ratio until he BLOWS.
I simply stated that regarding Cuong, not that another guy, I personally think that cuong is not a kind of person that is likely to fake his trading results.
Please do not be so hot headed. i like you too wink

that's true, but today is a weekend and I was truly having fun. I was thinking you were too.
People tend to make things complex. But I am usually pretty good of knowing who will eventually blow even though I am not good at calculations. it is pure common sense, so, I completely agree with what you wrote there.

Enjoy long weekend too.
If you are in Northern America of course 😉

you too.

have a nice LONG weekend 😄

does any one have a clue how to calculate RISK on hedged positions?

You know, it would be really interesting to know as I always wonder how guys who hedge control their risk. Ok, you are both long and short on same currency but you are only safe as long as both positions are working. How money can be made in this case and what's the risk?
