Efxgroup looks cool, but i'm confused with a statement "23 hour trading day". Maybe this is a bad typo or what?

I'm not 100% sure if you can connet to multiple accounts. Easy to test though. The 23 hours thing is prob not a typo ... like ibfx they usually do maintenance at night .... which tbh isnt' a big deal. asian session is hardly volatile enough to warrant that extra hour but it will mean you might have to get your app to put close stops to all open positions just in case smthing happens during that hour. I@ll be chekcing efx over the next couple of weks to see how it pans out but so far it looks ideal so long as the api comes out soon. The spreads on eur and jpy are mostly 1 pip during eur and us session and cable is 2-3 pips. Also, once the api is up and running ... you'll have access to level 2 data via the api as well. All in all .. it's pretty sweet
