It really is a recurring theme online that IC markets offers great spreads at first, but as soon as you make money on size then you will be slipped BIG.

ECN Brokers

Why are IC Markets a 'fake ECN' broker? Ask yourself how they are able to have the ridiculously low spreads like they do, when all other brokers are similar. It's because they run a totally B-book model which allows them to set their own spreads ...

ECN Brokers

Choose an ASIC regulated broker.

Is this broker trustable?

Exactly, it's not that its scammy, it's just that its a fragmented marketplace. You can use COT data from currency futures as a guide, but thats the best you're going to be able to do in FX.

Broker with Depth of Market for Retail Traders

Have you guys seen the DMM FX's $10,000 competition? That is how you run a competition. With CASH prizes, not Axitrader credit. Notice how it's not $1,000,000? Because Axi's $1,000,000 is completely pulled out of their bum! It's an imaginary number!

If you trade with a Russian broker then you deserve to lose your money. Darwinism.

Thanks shrike. Sorry to make you do my dirty work for me I more just wanted to get a feeling if any retail FX guys use them instead of your standard retail FX brokers?

The best part about this thread is the word 'almost' in the title haha!

Martingale EA. Almost can't lose!

What is all this company balance sheet stuff?? Pick a regulated ECN broker and you'll be fine, n00b!

broker for newbie

Here I am giving ASIC brokers a huge rap and then we get this... How this was allowed to get past ASIC or how they haven't had any problems with this scam is totally beyond me. THERE IS NO MILLION DOLLARS. You may as well have advertised one ...

I've been talking about Interactive Brokers in other threads and just want to know how accessible they are for retail forex? I thought they were only futures and for the big hitters?

Reliable broker for USD/RUB

120 is the key level here for mine. I'm blocking out the BOJ. They've talked the talk but haven't backed it up by walking the walk. They'll stay on the current QE path with a few comments and USD/JPY will do the obligatory round turn back where it ...

USD/JPY Discussion

Wait a second... So you're worried about ASIC regulation, but you're happy to move to a Cypriot based broker? Whaaaa? I would only ever trade with brokers only regulated in the UK (FCA) and Australia (ASIC). The rest, no wayyy.
