DislikedAll I know is forex.com. Getting ready to move to Oanda or Darwinex. Spreads are rarely under 2.0 (usually 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3) on any pair except EURUSD and USDJPY. Leverage is variable depending on what is traded and I'm not sure if that's the same elsewhere to be fair. MT4 platform is utter trash. Had problems and they advised to shut down and reboot. SO, you are to shut down and reboot MT4 with active trades. LOL LOL Did I mention slippage? Oh yeah. I've always traded with market orders because there is less slippage and less problems. It wasn't...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Last time I checked Darwinex doesn't accept US clients. At one point they were considering a partner broker to bring in US clients but I was told by one of their representatives that they scrapped that plan.Ignored
DislikedPeople who are calling Forex.com a scam: How can they be a scam if they are regulated in the US and UK both? I genuinely want to know because I have just opened up an account with them. The country I am in, most brokers put me under useless regulators (like Belize) and Forex.com is so far the only well-known broker I found who allows me to put my account under US or UK regulator. That means allow me to open an account on their US or UK site.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Don't really know if this will help you or not because I use an EA for entries/exits, but a slowed platform sometimes means you have too many candles open. Try going to Tools / Options / Charts and changing the values for max bars in history and max bars in chart. Use something that corresponds to how many bars you actually need to make trading decisions. I use 600 for both values. Makes my platform a lot faster. Too many open charts will slow it down too.Ignored

Dislikedif you can not open an account with a US broker, you are in luck. Forex.com changed servers last week. was part of a big change. What customers were told, just change a server. no big deal. What happened in reality was that most users had to delete their MT4 platform linked to servers of last week (before the change) and reinstall MT4. Annoying but ok if it works. What was not said however was that the US accounts are now supported by servers set in London (England). The execution speed of the order is now 100ms compared to a third before when using...Ignored
DislikedI did already. I described the move to the customer service yesterday. The person I talked to said the accounts moved to different servers. The fact that US customers were moved to UK servers did not seem to bother customer service, not that the execution was 3 times slower. "It is part of a larger move and there is nothing we can do" was the answer.Ignored
