PFG is a regulated broker....fills are spot on and quick, I don't trade news, yet if the bids/offers are there, and you are quicker than the next guy ....you will get filled.....if the price is bought/sold.....try again......nature of the beast..........if banks pull B/A during news.....you will get next best on the screen.....
I'm demoing their currenex platform at this time. I don't have the facts yet as to their fees, but the only advantage I'm seeing over Oanda (I use both Oanda and EFX) is their news time spreads.
Their spread on the EU fluctuates between 1-2 pips (and I assume there is also a commish of at least a pip).
I don't know...as far as total cost per trade, Oanda is looking to be the best option for me so far. And I've yet to have any execution issues with Oanda. I really like what EFX offers but the cost was too much.

currenex demo is totally different with currenex real, especially on pricing.
on demo you can get 1-2 pips spread even at news time, but on real acc its hard to get it.
Yes, you should ask for a liveview account to see whats quotes/liquidity are like. Demoaccounts on multibank-venues are only good to check out the functionality of the platform.

No extra pip on the retail curremex platform for commission....now if you trade thru the cme regulated platform, 1 pip spread plus $5 R/T.
Onada has some really good points....I don't trade news, so The spread moving for a minute or two isn't a worry.....I also like the fact that Onada pays interest on a daily basis on unused funds....pretty decent spreads for sure also. I think you'd be happy there.....I happened to feel better with my funds in a segregated account in MY name is all. I agree with EFX, I liked them on a demo, tho costs were a bit high ( not as high as some fixed brokers tho! )
Good luck in your search
Yes, the daily interest on my capital at Oanda was huge benefit as far as I'm concerned. That can really add up fast. EFX did not offer that and I'm not sure about PFG. I believe I read that ODL offered interest on capital too.
I'm still interested in checking out PFG Currenex and possibly trading there. For those of you live with it, what are the spreads like and what is the commih for a RT trade? I know on the demo sometimes, my market orders don't go through - get the order not filled box...
