Hi, Anyone using Barclay's BarxDirect fx. They dont seem to advertise much and Ive only found a handful of reviews - all pretty positive
Office based in Glasgow. Its an stp not true ecn. Spreads seem tight (target for eur/usd is 0.9). I wasnt keen on the platform to start with it, but getting to like it. Streaming news from Reuters, excellent customer service. They said no problems getting filled for orders below 3 million. Minimum account opening is £5k. Minimum lotsize is 50,000 except usd/cad which is 100000
Dislikes: there is no pricing between 2200-2225 (seems like 2220) because of system reboot. Not a massive problem but just seems odd, creates price gaps between open and close of bars. Not as many currency pairs as other brokers (they have usd/cad but no gbp/cad so in theory I cant trade usd/cad as they dont quote gbp/cad to work out position size.
Relatively new so maybe these things will change.
