Helping picking a new FX broker - Thanks

[Kastro_316]

Hey guys, I need some help from you experts

My old set up was very simply - how I like it.

Oanda - Metaquotes - Cheap news feed

Now, I am expanding a bit, and I hear way too many bad things about Oanda.

So, what is a good FX broker for trading spot and FX futures. Someone that is not going turn into a bucket shop.

?

Thanks, appreciate it!

You will have better luck if you ask "Who is not a bucket shop, please step forward."

I no longer trade FX due to the fact that it is a conflict of interest with my current business.

Where do you Virg?

Do you trade currency futures ro anything at all? Why post in this thread then?

I want to start to trade otuside of Forex, so i want a firm that enables me to trade both, currency futures and FOREX.

I am looking for a firm who has been around for a while, and is not just another bucket shop.

Oanda use to be the main broker most people around here used, but who is it now?

I plan to use the meta trader 4 platform also.

Thanks

IB. They offer futures and spot. The best front-end for IB: http://www.buttontrader.com/index.asp?page=31

Go with Interactive Brokers for cheapest commissions and average platform on currency futures. They also have the best executions of any firm out there.

Hey 2004 and atticus,

Are they ok with lets say a account with 10k?

Thanks, appreciate it!
