Anybody ever seen a chart of EBS spot data for any of the major crosses? I'm curious how much smoother a tick chart looks than with data from a retail feed.

yep .. we used to have them as bank dealers together with Reuters Dealing .. top-notch service, but don`t even think about them, unless you have a banking license ..

You can get access as an individual with a prime broker, such as LCG, Fixi or Baxter. You can only deal in 1 million increments, no odd lots. And there is a platform fee of ~$1K per month.

It only makes sense if you trade big - since this is the venue with the highest liquidity for certain pairs. But it really doesnt make much of a difference if you trade say less than 10 million per click, you can get that done on IB for example just as well. And its also only good for cerain pairs like EUR, JPY and CHF based ccys, all the commonwealth pairs and skandis for example suck.
