Dislikedthe thing is, if you are sitting with 28k profit, you aren't need to look for a broker with starting account size of 2-500$. where is your faith in your ability? wondered why Dukascopy didn't make the cut...after all it takes only 500 lot volume per month to secure spread+3.6$ commission....right in your range very same available if deposit balance is 50k or more... of course, should you generate lot more volume, or grow account over $10 million, spread+2$ commission is achievable.Ignored
Disliked{quote} No real (i.e. honest broker who doesnt play games) broker will offer $4 per lot at news time.. i work at one of the institutional market makers which provides liquidity to most retail brokesr (there are about 12-20 LPs that supply liquidity to retail brokers - all usual big banks and now some HFT funds like virtu). At news time, spreads are wider by a factor of 5 to 10 at least for few seconds before and after the news. So $4 per lot is not possible unless broker is just making up his own price and hoping to internalize the flow assuming...Ignored

Disliked{quote} The account you are showing off has only over 1 month of history. Where are the 2 years old accounts of yours? And your account is not the no deposit bonus account? From my experience, all CaesarTrade accounts I've seen are funded with the no deposit bonus. And you chose CaesarTrade because it seemed good, not because CaesarTrade is well known for its latency issues?Ignored

Disliked{quote} thanks for clarification. when are you planning to send a withdrawal request. I am really interested to see how the broker will react.Ignored
Dislikedhaniam@ when you select a broker the main thing you have to look for is whether they allow scalpers as your trades are closed in seconds and most brokers prefer a minimum of two minutes for the trade to be closed from posing time. If you google 'scalpers allowed brokers' you can find a website which list down all the brokers with ea/scalpers allowed or not. From that you can choose the regulated brokers. If you are not using arbitrage then my preference would be activtrades.Ignored

DislikedHi, I use FXOpen UK. It allows scalping and although it uses MT4, it offers a very useful EA that permits very fast one-click trading.
