Dislikedjoselb, does the FXPro demo server get paralyze? How long have you been using their demo?Ignored
DislikedI am using fxpro in demo to see the charts about 3 months now, and yes: many times I see the server paralized or very very slow, even some strange spikes.Ignored
DislikedWell i think you might have any connection problem coz i didnt feel any problem yet with their demo. But maybe on real with FxPro people might have that problem coz i have no experience with Fxpro on realIgnored
DislikedPipHacker,
I moved to mbtrading/efxgroup without problems but if you open an account to trade in Forex then you can only trade in Forex, not in futures or something else.Ignored
DislikedMaybe you are right but my other brokers were working without problems (even northfinance), but what I saw very strange some weeks ago was when the trading was ending in Friday: suddenly in gbp/chf they made a great spike upwards in more than 50 pips and then again to the same price. Imagine the people with gbp/chf opened.
Itīs strange to see it in demo but I didnīt see it in mbtrading too in those moments.
Anyway, my experience with mt4 brokers are like that and I donīt trust them, they always trade against you, they change the prices, paralize the server, strange spikes, etc.
And of course a proof:

DislikedWell today i also use Efx Groups demo. Man it's didnt seems to me user friendly, Seems complex to use.
I have also download Hotspot Fx Demo now going to test it. Any idea who seems to you batter ECN .
Efx Gropu's Vs HotspotFx.
I think ECN Broker Looks good to me. If i didnt find any reliable broker with stocks & commodities i think i,ll switch my account to any ECNIgnored
DislikedYes, the problem with mbtrading or efxgroup is that itīs harder to trade with this platform (navigator) when you only traded with mt4 before, but in some days you are ok with that. Also they are moving to a web based platform (very easy) but it is in a beta version yet.
I have tested hotspotfx platform in demo and itīs very good, the problem is that they offer few pairs to trade in Forex, the minimum is $7500, you can only withdraw $1000 minimum and only if you are in profit, etc. But they offer hedging (mbtrading not, take care if you need hedging...). I donīt need hedging and mbtrading offer a lot of pairs in Forex (maybe all pairs).
You must also know that in mbtrading they test many things in the demo platform from time to time and itīs very different from the live platform. The problems that you see in mbtrading demo are not in live.Ignored

Bluesteel: great to know your opinion, only some question: do they paralize the server from time to time?, because I have seen it even in the fxpro demo account..., can you honestly tell us which strange things have you suffered with them?Ignored
DislikedHmm, your from the US and your trading CFD's. You mind telling the rest of us how you trade something that is illegal for US citizens?Ignored
