The difficult choice...

ddc · Mar 1, 2006

I have narrowed my broker/ECN selection down to the following:

1. Brokers
GFX-S.A. (Geneva based)
Realtime Forex

2. ECNs
HotspotFX
Interactive Brokers

I just want to touch base with some of you guys (girls) who may have trading experience with any of the above outfits.

thanks in advance for your replies.

Frank,
Would you mind sharing your opinions/experiences with MB Trading (if any). I've been considering them and would appreciate any feed back.
Thanks

My advice is to take MB Trading's software for a test drive and you'd know it is better to stay away from it (as a software) but I have nothing against them.

I have indeed worked with their demo software. I was hoping to find some feed back from some one who had traded live with them. I agree their front is not impressive.

I also have just used the demo, and do not care for the front end. However I'm more interested in the fact that their api is better than most, especially ib's poor socket api offering. However, as I trade mainly forex, and there are some major issues with their forex offering I have not opened a live account
