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.

FOMC minutes: Minutes from the Fed’s latest policy meeting revealed officials leaning toward a cautious approach to future rate cuts. All agreed to cut the rate by -25 bps and nearly all thought risks between achieving employment and inflation goals were “roughly in balance.” Upside risks to the inflation outlook were little changed, and while inflation had eased, it remained elevated. The implied December rate continues to hover around a 50-50 bet as we await the PCE price data Wednesday and the crucial jobs report on December 6. The January 2025 rate is priced for a total of 20 bps in cuts, with -75 bps by January 2026.
