I've been evaluating implementation of another MT4 broker and Dukascopy has been on the short list, but falling off quickly.
EURUSD price currently is 1.3303, yet their MT4 platform is wildly "stuck" in jump-around mode, of about 30 pips up, then 30 pips down - can be seen in the order window.
Seeing too many other quirks with MT4: like that 100+ pip spike down on the chart, 6-digit prices getting recorded for lot buys, and other weird behaviour hosting EAs, presumably because of bad data reads arriving into MT4. In this state, it's refusing buys/sells & giving off quotes messages.
I know it's classified BETA, but I have developed and used BETA software, and the data bridge of whatever they're beta-ing, is somewhere around 0.5 I'd judge, and therefore not for broad public consumption.
Although I like the financial deposit security they seem to offer, I don't understand why the commission can't be part of the spread. While I haven't yet tried J-Forex, I'm turned off by this experience. For all the knocks that MT4 takes, it works better than the vast majority of other brokerage's proprietary software, as long as major trickery isn't configured into it's operation by the broker (which unfortunately most brokers do.)
