I wrote to the customer support. I was answered that FXDD "do not actually make the market", but rather "we receive our prices directly from the Interbank market",

DislikedActually it is not a lie. It is simply misplaced. They do recievce their prices from the market but what happens next is the question. All bucket shops manipulate their pricing in whatever way suits them under many different situations. Price is from the market alright but YOU won't get to see THAT.Ignored
Dislikedsquaw, thanks for the lead. Indeed, they offer very good terms. I talked to their customer support, liked it too. The only thing I have doubts about is their being regulated by Cyprus authorities. I love Cyprus, but just how good is the regulation? Anyone knows anything about it?Ignored
Dislikednps,
My first thought was exactly the same as yours =)) Here is the answer:
http://www.fxpro.com/about-us/ - click on the Licensees and Regulation (there is an expl there).
Basically the idea is that there is no difference between regulators(after the announce by MiFID, if the country is in the EU and Eurozone - have Euro as national currency). Not to be mean: FSA = CYSEC ))
Hope this helpsIgnored

DislikedMy bad, i did not read this post.
Usually i close my position when a big news is coming (like you did for the BOE announcement) because i'm also using a bucket shop and all bucket shop are known to do unpredictable thing during news (including 200 pip spread when real interbank market gaps only 40-50 pips )Ignored
DislikedHi, Ilanr!
I have a similar problem.
Metatrader is a great platform, MT brokers... after FXDD I dont trust any dealing desk.
I respect Oanda a lot, but cannot work with their charts (tried to demo) so I am still looking for a good platform. Just today I came accross Meta Stock Trading Software for forex traders FXTA v. 1.1 at Reuters (subscription packages), that might solve my problem.
Would appreciate if anybody using them would post comments.Ignored
DislikedI suggest Oanda... just good ol fashioned good service... what you see on the screen is what you get.... yes their spreads widen... but it's right there on the screen... no tricks... never had any problem.... a while back there was a 600 pip spike... never had to call them... they know they were wrong, it was a bad data feed.... they took care of eveyone affected on their own... no one had to ask... !!!
Yes there are some cons about Oanda.... but the pros far outweigh them...Ignored
