Low spreads for all traders!
OrigoFX
OrigoFX is a Straight Through Processing (STP) Brokerage with No Dealing Desk (NDD) founded by experienced autotrader members of OrigoFX in order to serve our members and to get the necessary conditions required to be a successful and profitable automated trader. We were tired of dishonest brokers who nickle and dimed us for every single pip. As Autotraders, we all trade using the same price quotes and spreads as all our members. This allow us the flexibility that retail traders do not have.
An initiative used by companies in the financial world to optimize the speed at which transactions are processed. This is performed by allowing information that has been electronically entered to be transfered from one party to another in the settlement process without manually re-entering the same pieces of information repeatedly over the entire sequence of events.
Place where real time transactions of equities, fixed-income securities, futures, commodities and foreign exchange occur. Dealing desks are usually used by broker dealers that need to make instantaneous transactions and control the fixed spread during volatile sessions. The bad news about Dealing Desk is that the brokers tries to find another trader who does the opposite as you to make in-house trade. So they don't send orders to Interbank therefore they may have difficulties pay your money. OrigoFX is not using dealing desk!
A pip is the smallest price increment in forex trading – pip stands for percentage in point.
The spread is the amount of pips between the bidding price and the asking price is called the spread. The spread is what forex brokers use to make money on every forex trade placed through their network. For example, the forex broker may be paying a price of 1.3600 for buying or selling. The broker will then allow you to buy the currency for 1.3601 or sell it for 1.3599. The spread always stays around the actual price that the forex broker is paying. So when you buy, you get one end of the spread and when you sell you get the other end of it, and vice versa. By the time you close your trade, you will have always paid the spread.
Successfull automated trading
Success as an automated trader in the forex market requires that a trader must have the following three facts to be absolutely true.
First, You need real unfiltered quotes or prices that are not manipulated in anyway using excessive markups, widening of spreads, running stops or the various methods used by dishonest brokers.
Second, You need Institutional spreads that are extremely tight.
Third, you need Flexibility to trade various trading strategies and styles of trading including Hedging and Scalping.
Real automated trading using expert advisors, automated strategies or algorithms demand well thought out models for trading. The trading models should include: Risk Management, Trade entry and exit Strategies and Trade Execution. In reality, it does not matter how great your strategies are if your trade execution and management is less adequate.
We offer tight spreads, as low as 0.2 during high liquidity sessions in major currency pairs. In STP type of Brokerage, the minimum Lot accepted by a bank is 10k (0.1 Lot) with increments of 0.1. So if any broker offers you Micro Accounts and 0.01 Lots then you will be trading through a Dealing Desk. At OrigoFX we don't have Dealing Desk and we don't offer Micro Accounts.
The difference between an investment's lowest current offering price among dealers and the higher price a dealer charges a customer. Markups occur when dealers act as principals (buying and selling securities from their own accounts, at their own risk), as opposed to brokers (receiving a fee for facilitating a transaction).
Widening of spreads means that the broker may increase the difference between bid and ask. Like this they earn more while customers earn less or loose money.
In most cases, the claims of stop running coming from forex traders is nothing more than people getting burned by putting their stops too close to the market by Dealing Desk brokers and getting taken out by normal volatility.
For comparison purposes, the lot when trading in the stock market are the number of shares you purchase in one transaction.
