Sure...Originally Posted by ;
When I set out to start the brokerage I came up with all the PIG acronym before the real official company name. I tried to find a word that was recognizable and that was brand-able. I tried all different types of animals, things, adjectives, etc.. PIG was unique, and it carried. I created the company name, Premier Interchange Gateway, about it after I had the acronym. Where a provider generates an acronym round their title normally of coarse this is done somewhat differently. I did it backwards, although I am not certain which way works best.
That is an interesting story.
It's definitely an easy name to remember, the problem is the fact that it doesn't seem too severe of a name for a broker; however after all what matters is that a broker is really reliable, not that it gives the impression to become so.
That is 1 way. From my side, with of the ridiculousness that takes place in this market, and the way brokers deal with realities in the market, simply by telling their customers what they want to hear, tells me most firms take themselves too seriously. Sometimes it's wonderful to listen to the facts, even if the messenger is... a PIG.
Kevin, that Fx Pig account has slippage scalping on support and resistance, the ecn or the dma account?
Considering the fact that our servers are in LD4 and all of the connected LPs on our SPA feed (formally the DMA) are cross linked inside precisely the same datacenter, I would say this would be your best alternative. Now this feed contains zero filters, meaning that we don't filter prices and none of the associated LPs do either, which means that you can view spread spikes around news and general price spikes, that can be a good or a bad thing depending on what aspect of the market you are on. The MPA feed (formally the ECN) is filtered, not on our side, but on the other aggregation points inside the feed, but the LPs are stered across the world, thus latency can be bigger depending on which LP implements your own trade.
Spikes are good for my trading but when I am slipped hevily I lose. I need to diversifie my brokers. I accompany you from the period of DFx (can't post title of other forums)Originally Posted by ;
I like a lot your new website and today will enjoy reading it and for sure will come for some additional questions. Atm I like the style of the new website and the fact that we can start an account with only 500, so a trial is more easy
I just made reference to this filter rules to be fully transparent; i.e. they do not happen on every candle, every news release, or even every roll over, but they could, will, and do happen. Average slippage on our SPA feed is 0.05 pips... (which is expressed in pips, so 5/100th of a pip)
Thank you for the kind words regarding the website; on the backend we will be releasing new modules every few days such as IB, PAMM, etc..)
If you have any questions let me know.
Currently we give the mainstay in retail FX, largely MT4, and its cellular counterpart. CTrader is going to be available as well, in the next 15 days, along with it's internet and mobile versions.
We also provide FIX accounts, and with this you can link our liquidity to the platform of your choice.
