    According to their data, they currently have 5:

    IB's IdealPro (match among ourselves)
    BOA,
    RBC
    HSNC
    Barcfx

    which coincidentally is the same 5 providers used for almost all the currency pairs.

    Question for IB people, what happened to the other 5 liquidity providers (10 total) claimed in earlier postings?

    Good question and when is IB going to start a new margin system for crossrates?

    9 pm est is probably the weakest time in the market. only the audusd is active at that time. try at 2-7 am est. the bid/ask range is tightest during the active sessions only.

    For once, IB is ignoring a thread. Kinda rare. Usually, they give us an answer one way or another. If they were working on it then ---they have to still be working on it???

    Which edition, I wonder ? If you're still around, please let me know how the paragraph starts (p.166 is the Ed Seykota interview in my edition).

    Btw, did you switch to IB.... maybe it's just me, but I have the impression that the spreads have actually widened slightly recently... maybe just the market volatility... ?
