Is this scam or?

Recommended Posts

Hi there...

I'm new to this and ofcause I'm trying to find the perfect tradingplatform. I live in Denmark and that's definitely not the best country to be located in when it comes to brokers and tradingsoftware.

 

The reason for this question... I'm evalualting SaxoTrader2 and dicovers this strange behaviour, is it normal or is it scam?

 

The closingprice are 1 tick lower than the openingprice? I've examined all the candles and it's the same story each time.

In my logic that's an anomally caused by the the broker to get an advantage in their own buying pool!

 

Please view the attached gifs for details :cool:

Hello Januson,

 

I do not have any personal experiance with Saxon, but doing a quick review of others opinions, seems like they are not trustworthy.

re: Online Forex broker reviews | Saxo Bank Review | saxobank.com rating

 

Looks like a Fx type of operation yes? I am sure if you asked around you should be able to get some better recommendations.

 

( All above is my personal opinion )

 

Regards, Knyyt

You have to realize that the some trading platforms use feeds from dealing desk quotes. I have MBTrading and Tradestation quotes and charts side by side and just watching EURUSD, the quotes are 2-3 pips off on bids (MBT is non-dealing desk and TS uses a dealing desk broker). So be careful and compare by having multiple platforms up and see whose quotes are real or whose are not.

Thank you for your advice - I'll be extra carefull now.

 

But to gets thing right... The charts I've attached, are they wrong? Is it possible to have an opening price greater than the closingprice?

Saxo has a bad reputation out there.

 

Try Oanda (better) or Interactive Brokers if you want to trade currencies.

 

Try Interactive Brokers if you want to trade worldwide futures or stocks.

 

They are the standard by which all others are judged.

Having the correct correct data feed is essential. It's normal to see opening price different from closing prices etc. due to gaps. But double-check for reliability of the data by comparing sources, and of course, checking current users of the platforms.

Just because you live in Denmark doesn't mean you can't use US brokers. I live in UK and have my trading funds in a US Dollar brokerage because the UK brokers charge too much.

Yes I know I can choose from a variety of brokers, but I'm a bit afraid of the delay between my station and the Nordic Stock Exchange if it's routed through an US-broker? or?

Interactive Brokers hosts your connection on the US, Hong Kong or Swiss servers depending on which part of the world you are trading. I suspect the Nor-Switzerland-Nor delays would be acceptable for most forms of trading.

 

Thats assuming they have your stocks in their product list. You'll need to check on their website.

I trade the US markets and the DAX which is connected to Eurex and it's no problem to me. However I don't mind a 150ms delay which is about the average from UK. Not sure what the delay would be from Denmark, no more than 200ms, however you might want to test it if you need sub-second response times.

    • Dear B4 #42, I heard you can't get out of bed and decided you were going celibate and shaved your head and “reconsidered” having children.  If it took Trump getting elected to get you to stop fkn every Dum, Harry, and Dick you meet, we’ll take it.  thx Sincerely just sayin’ zdo PS To all the other girls I loved B4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVq0ONrSH-Q 😚

    • Date: 12th November 2024. Market Buzz: Trump Trade Impact! “Trump trade” has boosted the US Dollar and US stocks, but Trump’s policies may have less favorable effects on global assets. Trump’s plan to raise tariffs is expected to negatively impact economies worldwide, especially exporters like China. Asia & European Sessions:   Bitcoin Surge! Bitcoin broke $90K, driven by Trump trade once again. Bitcoin is up roughly 110% in 2024, helped by robust demand for dedicated US ETFs, interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and Trump’s cryptofriendly agenda. Crypto market capitalization has exceeded its pandemic-era peak, reaching $3.1 trillion. Traders are betting on Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by year-end, according to data from the Deribit exchange. Open interest — or outstanding contracts — for CME Group Inc. futures for Bitcoin and second-ranked Ether (ETHUSD) scaled records on Monday, a sign of growing engagement by US institutional investors. Asian shares dropped, alongside European and US equity futures, as traders evaluated the implications of President-elect Donald Trump’s policy agenda and potential cabinet choices. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell for a third consecutive day, driven by rising Treasury yields amid concerns that Trump’s proposed tax cuts could increase inflation. There are also reports that Trump is considering two individuals for prominent roles in his administration with track records of criticizing China. DAX and FTSE100 are down -1.1% and -0.5% respectively, after a pickup in German HICP inflation and higher than expected UK wage growth dampened easing expectations. Investors await the US CPI report for insights into the Fed’s easing path, as Trump’s inflationary policies may lead to fewer rate cuts. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex continues to rise and is currently at 105.75. It hit a 1-year high. EURUSD drifts to 1.0620 and GBPUSD is in a sell off, currently at 1.2800. Oil prices fell after their biggest 2-week decline, amid a weak demand outlook from China, a stronger US Dollar, and concerns over a potential oversupply. Crude oil has traded within a narrow range since mid-last month, influenced by Middle East tensions, the US election, and OPEC+ output decisions. Gold remains under pressure and is currently at just $2604.36 per ounce. It hit a one-month low, down 5% since Trump’s election victory, as a strong dollar and US equity rotation pressured the metal. Gold’s decline was also technical, breaking below the 50-day moving average, causing funds to cover long positions. Despite recent drops, gold remains up 25% for the year, supported by central bank purchases and geopolitical risks. Always trade with strict risk management.
