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.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94.

Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
