Looking for an MT4 broker that offers micros...

Looking for an MT4 broker that offers micro accounts and also offers a variety of pairs...

-Oanda would be ideal but they do not offer MT4 and offer 18 pairs that I like but their platform is horrible
-FXDD would be superior if they had offer micro accounts as they have tons of pairs to choose from (19 pairs)
-Whereas, InterbankFX offers micro but has a measly 10 pairs

Any other suggestions?

Thank you!

Alpari UK. But they aren't available for US residents yet. As far as I know they start Alpari US soon.

BTW: I find the MT4 platform horrible.

I love the customizability of the MT4 platform and after witnessing Oanda's and Questrade's platforms, there are no comparisons at all.

already answered by In2Blues, you can trade nano lots with an IBFX mini account.
Any other suggestions?

Thank you!
You can trade micro lots with FXDD. You have to request it when you set up your account. Phone them up and talk to them. At least you could when I opened my account. I can still trade 1 micro lot by entering .01 for the lot size. As far as the NFA goes IBFX may be preferable to FXDD. I trade with both.

I can confirm this. I use a small micro account set up at FXDD to test EA's. Simply let them all trade at 10cents/pip. Testing EA's on a non-live feed is never accurate, who ever slips their demo feed?

As far as the NFA goes, well thats a different story. Interesting that all of the larger brokerages get to buy out their competition for pennies on the dollar whenever the NFA shuts them down. Wonder who's really pushing legislation through...

Thanks! okay it works... the micro lots that is

What does NFA stand for? and how does it pertain to the two brokerages?

Furthermore, does anyone what time their new daily candles start for IBFX?

Thanks for responding!

I went to the 'plus' button and went down to the slideout tab... yours has 'forex' whereas mine is 'mini forex' .. and that is probably the reason i'm guessing

Open the Market Watch window. Ctrl+M or click the button or go up to the View menu to open the window. Place the mouse pointer in the Market Watch window. Right-Mouse-Click and select 'Show All' from the drop down menu. This ensures that you see all available pairs.
