I just chatted with a forex.com rep and he said they offer automatic trailing stops on their mini accounts. I'm thinking about opening an account with them. Anyone have any good/bad stories on this particular broker?
Or any others for that matter.
I didn't get very deep into forex.com when I was looking at it. All I know is that they guarentee no slippage. As far as spread, I can't find anywhere on their website that says they offer fixed spreads, so you might watch out for that.

I also just found out that FXCM is planning to foll out trailing stops as well, in the early fall (news to me!)

Wow, early fall? That's great because I use FXCM currently, when their rep told me they would roll it out out he didn't give a timeframe.
Sometimes I buzz the customer service reps at these sites just for fun. It's amazing what you can learn from these people when you don't actually go into their chat with any questions in mind.

Dear Account213,

Are you referring to a Stop Loss that is held at the brokerage, and they will move the Stop Loss for you? That would be a very helpful feature, if that is what you are indeed referring to.

Thank you.

Youngun,
Yes, you set your stop at a pre-determined level and the broker's software will automatically trail the market price with that stop when the trade moves in your favor. I just opened a mini account with FOREX.COM, it's nice to see they get the recommendation of Merlin, the admin of this forum.
Best Trailing Stop strategy on brokers is not difficult, as I know icmarkets.com. besides, the addition of hotforex.com is also fine on the zero spread account which allows trailing stop
