hey
It seems that FOREX.com doesnt offer their services to UK customers (me!).
I really liked their research section.
Any one here know any other decent brokers with good research and strategies services that are ok with UK based clients ?

cheers

FXCM are ok, you can have an account in Pounds, they are big and heavily regulated, so your funds should be relatively safe. The only thing I don't like is their platform. I seem to remember reading somewhere they are going to bring out an MT4 platform sometime soon. I have seen some complain about stop unethical practices by them like stop hunting etc. I guess no broker is perfect.

I used forex.com many years ago when i started. Their platform was atrocious and their spreads were huge, but I think they have improved since then.. It was back in 2004.

I have been with Forex.com for about a year and never seen anything like this. In fact, the pips spreads have been pretty stable.

Their support has been better than average and their Windows Platforms runs very well for me.

So I would recommend them.

Don't use MT4 as a trading platform, only for charting. So I can't speak as to their service with MT4.

I've had an account with forex.com for 3+ years. I haven't had any problems and customer service has been great. I've emailed the guys who write the daily and weekly strategies and they've always been quick to reply. The only complaint I have is with their platform. But they provide eSignal charts at no cost.
I can't speak for their spreads during major news events because I don't trade them.

hello everyone
thanks for all the rpelies.
Let me just say that FXCM is fantastic. Its not perfect, you aint gonna find any perfect broker in this world!
good spread (not for GBPJPY) and their research section is amazing. Its like a confirmation of your decision which I personally find really assuring.

anyways, about FOREX.com Im a UK client so I cant access their services. But its good to know that they are crap!

Let me know if you know any good brokers with decent research and strategies service.

cheers
