I'd very much appreciate if someone could share experiences with FX Solutions.
I am really tempted to open an account with them due to outstanding software (AccuCharts) and 1-5K lots available. But I came across a couple of nasty reviews on the web, like they open positions without you knowing it. Is it true? Big thanks in advance.

Never had any issues with them. Been with them over 2 years. Quick fills, quick order closing, quick withdrawals. Customer service...eh mediocre. Some of their spreads are a bit large but I really don't care.

I don't work for anyone but myself. It's people like you who make stupid comments like the one you made that keep decent people away from FF. I guess this just reaffirms my position that FF is the greatest collection of idiots on the planet.

Look I said it's probable, it makes it more probable because of your instant reply, what was the likelihood you you visiting the brokers section and replying so fast.

Here's a chat I had with an FX solutions rep:

Tommy: Welcome to the FX Solutions on line chat service. How may I assist you?

you: Hi, can you explain your automated execution, the fact that 99% of trades are automated?

you: Does that mean there is no intervention like there is with other brokers and thus it is impossible to manipulate?

Tommy: 99 percent (plus ) of the trades done on our platform are executed by computers. No human interference. We do have a facility where customers may call in trades or orders via phone ...In this case the trades will be placed by our trading specialists on behalf of our customers and these trades/orders will not obviously be automated.

you: So the ones placed via the computer cannot be manipulated in any because it's done by a computer?

Tommy: I am not sure what you mean by "manipulated"...When an order is placed on the platform it is executed by our computer servers....FX Solutions doesn't interfere in any way with the direction or price or amount of the order. If there is sufficient equity in the account the order will be executed as it is sent. If there is not sufficient equity, the account will receive a message "order cancelled due to insufficient equity" and nothing will be done.

you: ok thanks

I agree there is no need to be offensive. Let's live in peace.
As for execution, spreads, price manipulation - well, I guess, any fx DEALER as such will be doing this and never confess. I can personally put up with those little tricks, if they stay little. But you know sometimes people complain new positions appear in the terminal or any communication, including phone is lost, or they just say you've been trading demo - that is a sort of things I'd be worried about. End of the day, any agreement with any of them clearly states that the client, in essence, takes all the risks. Futures or a bank (not its offshore division) is a solution to it, I guess.

Unbelievable. Yeah I work for them. It is my job to get idiots like you to open accounts so I can manipulate the price and steal your money. Come on open an account I need to make my bonus for this month. Internet geniuses I can't wait for you to post how you lost your money and then blame the broker for it. Hilarious.

I have been using FX Solution for a while and I didn't have any issues with them.
I use their GT Pro platform as well as their web platform. Both are great. You can trade from any computer anywhere in the world.
Leverage 1:100 but if you want you can signup with Australia or Uk branch to get 1:500 leverage.
All the way it's helping traders like us.
I will give them good credit for services.

Why are you being so protective? if you read my posts I have been been very polite to get my point that I'd like more people to respond. Your reaction says it all and all it does it make it more probable.

Are you sure it's 500:1. I thought 400:1 was their leverage limit.

I used them for over 1.5 years trading opm. No major problems. Usual slippage, only one major one at an announcement, nothing to cry about. The spreads suck, though.

Platform is very stable, no disconnects or unresponsiveness, but as a rule I don't put on orders at news time. Almost all of my orders were limits, but the few times I did put on market orders I was invariably slipped 1-2 pips even during quiet times.

Also, platform is fairly straightforward to use. I never used the charts, only the tick chart on the platform.

Hi all,

Good day,

You may notice that I have only few posts, but used to watch only without participation. Since I have to learn mql4 coding, I had to register in most Fx forums just to learn and teach if possible. Now since I passed through this thread, I would like to tell you something about this broker.

The broker "Fx solution" is good and away better than other brokers so far. They have good executions and somehow quick. The problem I faced so far is the high spread that because of it I can't scalpe at all.

Now whether the broker is good or not, it is just a matter of personal experience. if You are pro trader, you can see that there is no way to loss with this broker since it all depends on trader if the broker is honest on certain level.

There is no 100% honest broker because if you are pro trader you may make say 200K out of $500, which is totally against the broker's point of view.

I can say at last that Fx solution is good as an Fx broker; at least better than many of them like FXCM or ACM ...etc.

Best wishes for all.

I was lucky at least they responded my online chat, message from tech support - "they are having technical difficulties, please try back again in 30 minutes" - well it has passed more than 2.5 hours, still no luck.

I am not sure it is just only me, I have been facing this login difficulties and automated log out by system. They said it is my ISP problem, take me lots of time to sort out with my ISP and make me having doubts on my laptop function, but at the end, the problem is from ....

Accuchart is very very slow most of the time, take more than 10 minutes to load.
