Matt,
Glad you are enjoying the Dealbook software.
Market makers are known for the following based upon my research:
-Stop Hunting
-Trading against you on the opposite side that you traded
-They can manipulate the price by 10-20 pips
-Certain market makers don't like scalpers and will place you on manual execution, thus not getting you the price you wanted
Those are just some of the things I know of. This is not to say that they all do it but I know they all do at least some of the above.
I am probably going to open up an account with EFX also as they have stellar reviews from what I have seen. Hopefully not having the necessary capital at the moment won't be an issue in the future.
