does anyone trade live with this broker. it's pretty new in the market, offer good spread on pro account. I was going to fund account with fxopen australia. but their customer service very poor. no live chat, thing are proceed slow.... suck..... if you make good profit i don't know how long it will take you to withdraw.

my system generate me with good profit . now i need a reliable broker with good spread like fxopen and thinkforex. if anyone has experience with thinkforex pls post here. thanks

In short, I can't fault ThinkForex. Haven't had a complaint at all. I'm very happy with them as my broker right now. There is a thread on here about them already.

They are ok but still a fair way behind the AXi's, Pepperstone's and IC Markets that are the bigger/cheaper Aussie brokers.

I'd dispute that any of them are cheaper.

Everytime I've considered Pepperstone, I'm stopped by the God awful support they give. Trained monkeys could do better. IC have no depth at all so execution is poor.

Happy for you to dispute it but jumping on myfxbook shows Pepperstone and IC markets are clearly cheaper and AXi is about the same.

Do you work for the Think Forex? as praising just one broker and slagging others off is a clear sign.

I got quick responses to the queries that I have sent in Pepperstone and Axi. Ic markets are pretty slow but they eventually answer.

Headline spreads are one thing, but it means nothing once you start trading.

Pepperstone do give fast responses, you are right, but usually complete rubbish. AxiTrader I find to be quite rude.

And no, I don't work for Think, or anyone else for that matter. Comparing brokers is part of a broker discussion, otherwise it would all be the same agreeing tones, which is hardly a discussion. I praise Think because so far, they're the best I have used.

Mate, you are getting to worked up not to work for think Forex.

Pepperstone gives fast responses that are complete rubbish, what does this even mean??? you ask what their GMT offset is or something and the reply they don't know. your kidding gregosv

gregosv - you sound like you work for Think Forex. Is that correct?

To the OP - I've been with Think Forex for a while now, they are okay. The spreads are average, execution seems good. I guess the one down side is that they have a lot of double negative swap rates, which is kinda bad for me because I like to carry trade (for example GBPNZD and USDNOK).

Can't really comment too much on their support, because I haven't had any issues so far

Looks a little bit like you are the one getting worked up here!

And to be honest, maybe I ask them tougher questions. I don't need to ask what their GMT offset is. For two reasons, I'm not a generic EA trader and more importantly I can tell the time.

My GMT offset was e.g. obviously, I;m sure you were asking them the meaning of life or something really intelligent

In poker terms you are on "full tilt" stay away from the PC.......

Good idea, I'll go away and cry because a keyboard warrior was really mean. Maybe I'll tell my mummy as well.

I'm done here too, today, but I think that you should go back to providing Think Forex clients better service than wasting your time on here.
