Hi gse Re your comment "whether dma or market maker is irrelevant . ie ; we take a posi and our provider /dealer uses our funds to trade against us !!!!! ummmm hello ."
This statement of yours is incorrect , when it comes to DMA provider First Prudential Markets. They never trade against your position. They provide excellent execution directly into the market on what every other equities trader sees on a huge range of stocks(most of the XAO) and are commission and interest based.
