Whether or not FXLQ’s new multi-bank MetaTrader (MT4) system will solve our current day trading problems remains to be seen. This morning, FXLQ was supposed to go live with their new day trading system (at least that’s what we were told). If all goes well, we should be trading currencies tomorrow with the new setup. […]
New Manual and Algorithmic Day Traders
Posted by on February 26, 2007 at 10:31 pm
We have begun testing a group of new day traders to be able to accept more assets. Even though our current robot program is excellent and so is Nigel (the trader), forces beyond our control (which you should be familiar with by now) have prevented us from accepting new assets to keep pace with the […]
Lackluster Day Trading Week so Far for DTT
Posted by on February 22, 2007 at 4:40 pm
Day trading results so far this week are slightly negative. “Off quotes” are still coming up quite a bit on the MT4 platform, but at least the rejections are pretty fast. We are still waiting for FXLQ’s launch of their new MetaTrader day trading system. We were supposed to receive a demo with their new, […]

Day Trading is Better – But Trouble when Forex Market is Silent
Posted by on February 16, 2007 at 3:46 pm
FXLQ made some changes at their end that eliminated some of the trade delay problems. Even though there were still many “off quotes,” both trade executions and rejections were relatively fast. Whatever FXLQ did seems to have gotten rid of the long delays we were experiencing when orders were being submitted. Four forex scalping trades […]

Man Against Robot – A Day Trading Tragedy!
Posted by on February 15, 2007 at 5:41 pm
No; this is not a science fiction drama about a robotic day trader! I just like to use tragic titles to release my frustrations from time to time! First of all, our Currenex Trading System project might have to be scrapped. It is taking too long for the orders to travel to the Currenex server. […]
Trading Robot Update – No Happy Valentine
Posted by on February 14, 2007 at 10:44 pm
Valentine’s Day was pretty active for currency trading. Both the Euro and the British Pound against the US Dollar had ranges of 100+ pips. Unfortunately, we were plagued by the same excruciating trade rejections (“off quotes”) as yesterday on the MT4 platform. The day started at 8:11 AM London Time with an “off quotes” rejection […]
