Great to hear
Can I need to download something to get this to work? I'm switching from server but can't appear to get connected. ty

I'm convinced this was an FXCM-imposed restriction (not ATC's fault), but I'm surprised this was the case until today.

The Limit Orders will be delivered as a Market Order once the market price has reached your limit price.

That could be called a stop order everywhere else.

Yet in their http://http://www.atcbrokers.com/for...chnologies.php it states:

Partial fill orders will remain working after a fractional amount of the contracts are filled. Unlike some bridge links, limit orders will not turn into market orders once their partially filled.

That is the current order handling they use, not the proposed 'upgrade'. I guess they are switching back into the older bridge way of handling partial limits. . ?

Glossed over this on the very first glimpse, thanks for bringing it up shrike. This appears to be a step backward.

Looks like reaction time and even the demonion server latency to exchange verifiion has improved from when I tested. I would give these men a spin - and they appear to have connectivity to a lot of platforms, but the $8 percent full lot turn is among the highest on top of the spreads. (ie., EU looks like .8, GY ~2). Appears that they provide up to 200:1 to non US customers, and will take (and keep) in a wide variety of major currencies such as CAD.

I was curious about this as well. . The only thing I could notice is that limit orders becoming market orders would cause less fills, though you might get filled above or below.

I have spoke with the President of ATC several occasions and the guy is madman for technology - therefore that I doubt it'd be a step backward. It seems like he is trying to be the best in the industry, and doing a good job up to now. With all the tightest spreads I have found, trading is flawless, and he says they're in the process of moving after money, hooking up with new suppliers.

Very pumped to see their new MT4, particularly that Advance Order plugin.

Hey Bel,

Do not think they let accounts in CAD. As soon as I switched to them about a year ago they did not, but maybe (hopefully) that's shifted, if you find out could you let me know - I will do the exact same for you.

You won't be disappointed with those men. I could not be happier and switched out of MB Trading. And I concur with the response time, it's improved drastically, especially the last few months.

Cheers

It feels like he doing a damn good job so far, and is trying to be the best in the industry. With the tightest spreads I have found, trading is perfect, and he says they're in the process of going after more liquidity, hooking up with new providers.

Quite pumped to see their new MT4, especially that Advance Order plugin.

I agree, overall they're going in a fantastic direction, they have been on the right path since they hooked up with Hotspot Retail pre-FXCM. Their rates do leave a little to be desired though, especially in light of MBT's liquidity rebates.

I want to understand a non-MT4 platform out of them when this new liquidity comes online (maybe not FXCM ActiveTrader, ugh). MT4 is great for charting EAs, but I prefer regular front-ends for manual trading.

You won't be let down with these guys. I changed from MB Trading and could not be more happy. And the reaction time and I concur, it has improved drastically, particularly the past couple of months.

You know what ... I wrote it, then began reading the FAQ, and it says you can't deposit euros, only USD.

I think I confused the leverage rates becoming more favourable when investing a few http://www.atcbrokers.com/forexecn/t...ngleverage.php ...

Actually glad you have confirmed things. I just kinda wish there was a discussion room on the commissions - I could recall anyone.
