Dukascopy is among the very few brokers who
offer "wholesale pricing". This means that, instead of
BUYing at the ASK price, there is the possibility to
buy at or near the Best BID price. And instead of
selling to the lower retail BID price, there is the
possibility to SELL near the much better Best OFFER
price.
BUT... you must use "high technology" and unusual
technique in order to gain these advantages, and there
are "liquidity" issues to consider. Since your PLACE_BID
and PLACE_OFFER order types are exposed ONLY to
the internal Dukascopy Retail trading audience, there
must be a Dukas client executing a Retail (Market)
type order to be matched with your BID or OFFER.
This results in very low liquidity in some of the lesser
traded Currency Pairs. However, despite these lower
probabilities of a FILL, through the proper technology
and techniques, you can move CLOSER to the
Wholesale pricing, and away from just receiving the
Retail pricing.
This applies to Scalpers, and I'm always interested to
discuss this with interested traders.
