Leaving Oanda because spreads are unreasonable and switching to a metatrader broker sounds really funny. Metatrader is designed and used for a broker to rip clients off. Ofcourse the charts and autotrading are nice but Oanda is by far a better broker. If you leave Oanda now because of...

There is no exchange traded DAX min, but you can trade CFD's so you can simulate a mini, but then on wider spreads and not through an exchange. ABNAMRO's marketindex.com can be of service, but then again, with very active scalping this will not do.

I actually have the same kind of questions. Also I would like to add that if one improves bid or offer can all other traders that have acess through the same broker see and hit that? Some ECN models are not 100% ECN in that you can be in front of the bid and you yourself can see it but...

Alpari. They are FSA regulated since beginning of this month and have a UK branch now. No experience with them though.

Gain paid 750.000 USD for the customer list of 15.000 clients and a database full of marketing contacts (former prospects of RefcoFX). They now try to lure old RefcoFX customers to them with an 'offer' of which they will disclose details next week. Probably as bad as the offer they came...

Also use them for some of my trading and no real complaints. Occasional requote happen but are doable. Only thing I dislike is they close your trade at rollover and reopen it at a new level. This way you pay a little in settlement costs while having open trades for a long time and you lose track...

At most professional environment forex brokers/clearers you have your P/L in the quote currency of the currency pair. Normal procedure, so IB follows normal procedure. A lot of retailplatforms convert these subbalances immediately to denominated currency of your funding and have this subbalance...

Kareltje, the MM's you mention are, although operating international, especially big on their 'home' market (Euronext/Eurex). There are way bigger MM's but they don't operate out of Amsterdam/Holland so if you are looking for a MM job in Holland Optiver, IMC and Alloptions are to my opinion the...

2 pips on all majors and crosses..........so if you want to risk your money this seems like a good broker to donate your money to.............. 2 pips on for example gbp/jpy can not be for real!

I think Davn meant the statement will reflect 1,281 entry and close of 1,2949 instead of 1,2879 entry...... That's insane, to pay 2 pips in commission........even FXCM's currenex (propfx.com) only adds one pip, not two. I think you should have a look around for a better deal where you pay...

Dev, using an ECN allows you to put your bid in front of others and allows others to hit your bid. E.g. in this case you are a price maker whilst your counterparty is the pricetaker. Same is true at the offer side ofcourse and you could also join the bids and offers. If you are not using an...

Well this deal was nothing to begin with, so I am pleased to see RefcoFX customers will not be robbed twice......

Important Client Notice Trading by RFXA to Terminate Customers Asked to Close Positions July 25, 2006 This notice is intended to provide updated information regarding Refco F/X Associates (RFXA). RFXA today announced that the proposed agreement with privately held GAIN Capital...

YEah right......like Gain's offer would really help you out....... Any broker could match that offer as in the end you end paying to 'get' your money back....... I still can not believe after what RefcoFX already pulled of they present this to their clients as being a relief. They seam...

No, I just maintain a needed balance in my account. After the whole Refco thing I don't have more the neeeded in accounts with brokers.

Anyone with experience trading with Spencer Financial? They are regulated by cftc and NFA member. They have 2 pips on Euro and usd/yen and offer euro denomination. Any experience, good or bad would be appreciated. Thanks!

Akbar, try Oanda or if you like an German IB go for a trademonster.ch account (I know sounds terrible) That's an IB for ODL in London, but German speaking and very good quality liquidity and very tight spreads. (2 pips on eur/usd and usd.jpy and also on a few others, 3 pips on cable)

Yep, all withdrawals so far (3) were smooth. Only the requoting is still a little too much to like, but if you can live with that you are fine. Also I think the confirmation/acceptance of a trade takes a bit long (say 2 to 3 secs) but most of the time it's done as clicked.

So far so good. Although some requotes may occur. Withdrawals are no problem and processed instantly. Chat also not always available. Overall satisfied with their service/

Still have not withdrawn. So far it's ok, although last time I have experienced loads of requotes and also experienced some off market quoting. Especially the requotes bothered me cause what is the use of going through a 2 pips spread brokers when the quotes are not tradable? Customer service...
