Oanda UK isn't available to us. Oanda Canada has some crazy rules with margin requirements, and sign up process is a hassle. They said they will review my account in 6 months without giving any reasons as to why my account didn't get approved lol.
Looking for a FX/CFD broker with a $5k deposit

oanda got some gray shades on it, for some reason they give me the vibes or having too many things going on at the same time. cant say for sure, there was a time they had it good, and now i see some feeds that im not too sure about anymore

they're good at it! lol i just found it a bit weird that their way of doing business is just a lil " off" by Canadian business practice and since they really market being a fully regulated Canadian company. the weirdest part was the " margin requirements" vs the marketed leverage. It's not really 50:1.. its more like 10:1 or max 30:1 .. i mean good, it does keep you and your account in check, but i do like a little freedom on my trades ,just a tad.
don't trade with them so don't know, wise to try them with small account but sure they'll be fine
I can recommend FXOpen (FXOpen UK, FXOpen AU, FXOpen Markets). They provide ECN accounts with tight spreads, market depth, aggregated liquidity via own ECN, FIX trading, Regulation, 10+ years at the Market, very nice for tight night trading - as they have a good spreads and market depth at the cross pairs such as AUDNZD, GBPNZD, EURCAD).
Just look at the snapshot of spread on the majors.
