Hi Ash,
Anyone more interested in API trading with LMAX instead of managing their positions via their mobile might want to take a look at this extremely interesting (and even more entertaining!) video presentation recorded at their Algorithmic Trading conference held in London earlier this year:

its a pity they lost their chief.. so far they havent created an impact.
Spreads in FX are less than stellar, they need more marketmakers on their platform (they have only 3 at the moment).
Their model with an MTF, where trades actually get matched by themselfs – as opposed to aggregation/routing type of platforms like currenex and so on – is really interesting.
Also thing they need to put in more effort into their trading-frontend if they want to succeed in the retail market, or cooperate with a 3rd party vendor.
