MahiFX have very low fixed spreads and are a market maker. Dont think you will find an ECN/STP broker or broker that wont give you requotes if you want fixed spreads. However, it is possible to find an ECN with much lower spreads but you will need ...

There are other brokers out there that offer what FXOpen offers on some of their accounts; their ECN/STP accounts specifically. Its worth noting that with FXOpen there are Micro and Standard accounts and due to fixed spreads look like there is ...

XGLOBAL Markets has a version of MT4 for Mac that I used to put MT4 on my Macbook Pro. It has been working well for several months and I didn't have to install anything like Parallels. Their download page is here: url

If you want to do scalping and trade with 1 pip spreads then strictly look for an STP/DMA/ECN broker with no commission and 1 pip spreads... otherwise you will have trouble. I would be very strict with your search. 1pipfix.com looks like a joke to ...

Thanks for your feedback. Why do you think they should be considered unregulated? Do you have any experience.
