I think that dropping FXCM as a liquidity provider could be a good sign and move forward. Based on my information their new liquidity provider should be Intercative Brokers. I've just heard a lot of good experience with ATC from other traders. Is ...

I personally don't trade with Pepperstone - as I wrote previously, I just copy & paste it from the other forum (not FF). I agree that we would need more data to analyze, but I really doubt that he is trading over 100 lots 5 - 50 times a day I ...

Yep, I understand and agree. It would be interesting to compare results of the same trading strategy that you would achieve with Pepperstone vs. Axiory vs. Swissquote.

Hello and welcome here! Very nice overview! The very important thing to highlight is the fake ECN / STP brokers - as most of today's ECN / STP brokers are fake - they simply route all your orders to the only one liquidity provider / market maker and ...

Hi Vanderheyden, I am happy that you have posted here - simply ask anytime you need here. The fact is that there are a lot of scamming brokers around the world as well as great and highly professional brokerage and their regulation doesn't matter ...

Thanks for explaining further, I definitely agree that there are many shady brokers, but also some good ones. The fact is that at FF is already one thread here where someone gets 30 pips slippage with Pepperstone - but as far as I know he traded ...

You can find more information regarding the futures available for example here.

Yep, it's a good idea to trade the futures or one can trade options (beware, NOT binary options!). Not a lot of traders know that they don't have to trade the spot FX only, but there are futures, forwards, options and others too.

OK - no problem, understood. Why do you think that ATC is shady?

Hi cTraders, thanks for contributing here - I am very happy to hear this! It sounds like you did a lot of good decisions to increase the quality of services provided to traders. But, you will probably agree with me, that you, as software provider, ...

Interesting - when US overlaps London, there should be the most liquidity in the market, so that's why slippage should be minimum there (except news). By pipettes you mean 0,10 pips or 10 pips? By the way I checked their page for active traders and ...

Welcome here - Swissquote Bank is a good choice - I have one of my real accounts with them too and I am very satisfied with them so far (take a look at the first post of this thread).

FXCM is pretty questionable - take a look at the first post. I am not sure why there is such small competition of brokers in US and so many traders who are seeking professional brokers. By the way ATC brokers with their NFA regulated branch is able ...

Based on my experience, it's not about the specific software / technology that much. Each software has its advantages and disadvantages. There can be some plugins in cTrader and other trading platforms too. It's always about choosing the fair and ...

Thanks for posting - this is a great one! This is the real truth how most of today's cheating brokers are making money while giving most of their spreads / commissions to their IBs or giving % deposit bonuses and other dirty offers: But the fact is ...

Could you please clarify more your experience with them? Are they doing some dirty practices while executing your orders? If so, I would like to put the warning on the first page.

Could you please share more experience / statistics? Like during which times do you usually execute your 12 lot orders and how much slippage do you get there?

Reality of FOREX: my experience with brokers + share yours

Welcome here - yes, there are a lot of scamming brokers, but no every broker is not scam. Take a look at the first post that I update regularly based on my and other traders experience.

Could you please clarify this more? Do you mean that only their spreads increased or that their slippage / execution is worse now - slower / less accurate? Please let us know more details on this.
