the problem with globex data is the off market trades when someone yoyo
places a market order and gets taken for a ride. I bet you'll get much
better results if you use cash forex data.
With the electronic cash forex dealers out there now, there's not much of a
reason to trade currency futures anymore. Spreads are tight 24 hours a day
without having to ask for it, it's just a better deal all the way around.
Some, like PFG I am aware of, will let you trade cash fx and futures out of
the same account. John, have a look at Saxobank and/or CMC.
