CoesFX not worked out all bugs with MT4

[tstmarkt]

just got off the phone with CoesFX asking about MT4 I was told that they are still working out the bugs that its not ready.
They said that I should wait for a announcement their web site stating that that have completed testing now they fully support it.

Now I do like CoesFX MT4 would like to sign up but I am going to wait until its ready.

Don't know why but they they are operating thru Spot FX Clearing Corp. which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Coesfx.

then there is http://www.globalforexnow.com/ which apparently another spotfx company.

Looking further into spotfx they became an NFA member at the end of Dec 2005. Looks like CoesFX will be going bye-bye. Regulatory actions perhaps made it stink a bit much?

It looks liek they are changing into a different name br. Their MT4 platform shows Spotfx on it not COESFX. Its possible that they are changing over because of the confusion in the market about their dustup with the NFA.

Hate to brake up the party guys but COESfx is blowing smoke up everyone’s “donkey”. With The MT4 they are trying to promote.


MT4 isn’t even theirs nor dose it executes into their ECN. Not though Mini’s nor normal accounts. I know this because we were asked to evaluate MT4/Coesfx API a couple months back. In fact it’s imposable to get MT4 API to execute properly into any ECN API; the infrastructures just do not work together. So Knowing to Promote MT4 into ECN especially to IB would be a home run so they came up with another scheme to offer it anyway.


What they do is pretty simple yet very convincing. Thay use a cfgtrader white labeled MT4 (thay admit this with mini’s to throw users off) they run their ECN feeds into the MT4 server (that’s why when comparing COESfx MT4 to CoesFX ECN demo’s they are the same prices) but the execution side ( your trade) is not routed into CoesFX ECN instead it’s routed to a retail dealing desk cfgtrader who owns the MT4 server. Now this is not a crime but it’s defiantly misleading thought we should let all know what you’re getting into I hate when firms try misleading us.


It’s rather simple to verify this; just ask the COESfx rep for a MT4 demo a corresponding CoesFX in-house platform demo if MT4 is truly placing orders into CoesFX ECN you will see trades corresponding into their in-house platform if not the trades are not executing into the ECN their going somewhere else.

Thanks for the update I decide last week to open my normal account with Oa they seem to be the best broker to go with even tho I believe all forex brokers are evil; Oa its the least evil.

Funny thing is after I posted some remarks like yours on SBfx forum about CoesFX they bed me for be bias!!!!
