As the NFA rules deadline coming closer and individuals would be seeking new brokers here and there various brokers are offering deposit bonus and etc.

But special thing about opening thread about this is that IBFX is offering 50$ free mini account so i have registered for an account so lets see what happens.

Things must be quite hard going at IBFX for them to offer a free $50.00 account. They used to be the best metatrader broker some 4-5 years back but now there are so many brokers offering metatrader that IBFX have become the forgotten broker mostly due to their wide spreads policy.

considering to be only ff preferred mt4 broker that trades 100$ position,

still good for learning. (trading higher t/f like daily for example)

oanda is okey but very complicated to go through depositing...

I was thinking the same thing! Sucks for IBfx but great for us traders.

Now, is that $50 for all accounts, Mini and/or standard? If this promotion is offered to Mini accounts, a good trader should be able to turn that $50 into $500.

I think it's available but placing a trade on their platform in like installing mt4 on windows it takes 4-5 steps. There maybe a short cut but i did not go for that far btw You don't need to deposit a penny to get 50 bucks at ibfx.

Fxclub - If they were really serious, they would offer the Metatrader platform. Most people can't be bothered using their platform.

I don’t think that MT4 represents how serious the broker is. For example: GFT is a serious enough and they offer their own platform. Honestly, you can find a lot of well-known companies who utilize their own platforms. MT4 is just a nice platform which any broker can afford. Let’s take a quick look at FXCM and Gain; they just have bought MT4 as an additional platform with the only reason to get MT4’s customers from other brokers.

Shouldn't FXClub be doing the same given the popularity of Metatrader 4? I can tell you the only reason I and many others have never opened an account with FXClub is their platform. Simple as that.

My friend, opinions can be divided. But at the end of the day, you must give traders what they want as a platform and that's Metatrader 4. And as you can see a lot of other brokers have heard the message.

thats true, when i think about it serious traders don't use mt4. more geard to the retail traders and most of them are small players.
