I haven't read good reviews about any Forex brokers

great...please keep your promise and DONT COME BACK ;-)

Quote from cabletrader:

All been said before a dozen times ad nauseum, and replied to.

Anyone interested can just read the thread and make up their own mind, deciding on a broker depends on so many things and as I've said before it's not one-size-fits-all, anyone who's been around the markets a while knows that.

I'm out of this thread, I've made my point and backed it up with plenty of trade blotters whereas you're all just theory and hot air!

lol, but you keep going IluvVol, you're doing a great job convincing the likes of slapstick :D

lol, sure...to everyone his own. Take it as criticism or whatever, if you dont find trades among the majors and feel the urge to move on then

a) you may be impatient
b) your set up may not be ready for trading fx

What you are saying is similar to "I dont know how to make good cars and I dont understand what people want so I can deliver it to them, so why not being GM or Crysler at least I can say I am running a business". You know spreads DO matter because they are part of your cost of doing business.

Having been in the business long enough I take the freedom to claim that you have a lot to learn if you say that you do business with a broker that offers a lot of pairs while at the same time accepting the worst of all other trading related issues by going with such broker.

How many self righteous zealots there are? This reminds me of mormons or other people who knock on your door and try to explain to you that what you believe in is wrong and if you don't follow their teachings you will burn in hell.
You don't know how I trade. I have been in the trading business long enough to understand what suits ME. I pick gft not because I am not aware of other options but because they offer a lot of pairs. Trading opportunities are frequently proportional to number of choices. I cannot trade EUR/USD every day or even every week for that matter. I need to jump from pair to pair all the time. This is how I do it. I am a nomad. I still have my FXCM mini account and the reason I switched to gft was because I found myself not seeing anything among the pairs offered by fxcm. Now if I don't see anything on the majors "I can pay a visit" to something like GBP/PLN for example.

How about you go f*ck yourself? I am a positional trader and I let trades go for days. I am patient by definition. I don't attempt to trade every day but only when I see some attractive setups. I need to monitor as many reasonable pairs as possible. You can trade with IB and I am going to trade with gft.
 
Quote from 1a2b3cppp:

It's always "oh they stop hunt" or "oh they're another bucket shop."

Are there any good, non-shill reviews anywhere?

Where would I go if I was interested in trading Forex in either micro or variable lot sizes, not getting a shit spread, not getting stop hunted, and not being unable to place orders at some times during the day (see my OEC Forex thread).

Oh and what's this about some pairs pay interest on short positions or something? How does that work? And do you have to give interest if you take a long position then?

Dude, it's forex, wtf were you expecting? Forex trading by itself is a 24/7 casino. All the firms are total crap, with the exception of IB. Do they do forex? Whatever, it doesn't matter. Forex is only for people with an actual use of the market, and for losers that gave up equity markets.
 
Although I have an account with IB and IBFX, I only trade fx thru IBFX... Given that I've recently began focusing on a particular scalping strategy, I believe that based on the information shared in this thread, it would be in my best interest to scalp thru IB...

Thanks for the advise guys...

so you say "I have been in the business long enough" but you still maintain micro lot accounts. Speaks for itself. Nobody is robbing you off your choices you make. Its just you should be aware of the practices your broker applies to part you from your money. Good luck! ;-)

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit. I said FXCM mini(not micro) and only because that is what FXCM offers (it now offers active trader as well as gold accounts).

Dealing with you is a waste of time (just as cabletrader said)
 
I apologize thousand times, my wrong, MINI not MICRO account. Credit to who deserves credit ;-)

Exactly, I can't understand why anyone would want to limit themselves but I guess if it works for them then fine.

This is what jokers like IluvVol can't grasp because they've probably never traded, people make money in all sorts of different ways with all sorts of different approaches, if it makes money then it simply can't be 'wrong'.
