Switch your accounts to Dukascopy

They have applied for a banking license more than a year ago, still no decision about that. There are other swiss fx firms that already got this license, the question is why not Dukascopy..

I would wait until the regulatory situation is clear.

They just lowered their minimum account to $1,000
Be very wary of Dukascopy.

Their reputation is mixed, to say the least.

This is excellent advice.

To be honest, I preferred when they had their $50k account minimum. Continuing to lower minimums to scrape for the smallest traders out there seems counter to their initial focus. For a broker that once proudly proclaimed "100M Per Click" to now state "The minimum margin requirement is 100 CHF" is quite a change. Basically, they poured all this marketing effort into becoming a serious institutional contender, to now compete with every other retail shop.

True, but why did they ever start out with an institutional focus to begin with?
