ACM (ac-markets) broker...

Any thoughts on ACM (ac-markets) broker?

Can anyone with live account give their experience please?

Did anything ever come of the police raid on their Zurich office earlier this year?

I am trading with ACm, and I am happy since I start. What was told me is exactly what I experience, that is very good execution, and easy return through withrdrawl.

I have a live account with them and everything is exactly like it was in the demo. Instant execution and guaranteed fills just like they have stated.

The one time I had an order heavily slipped near a news release they canceled the slipped order and replaced it with a new order at the price I attempted to execute the order at. I thought that was pretty good customer service.

And I have also heard that the raid on them was in result of a angry customer who lost money and this angry customer happened to be a parner of a scam-job Mexican bank. I think when he lost his money he tried to say he was scammed by the broker, so he filed a massive report and it caused the raid I believe.

You can find the Mexican bank scam guy posting on various forex forums. I believe I found some of his posts from a review on the forexpeacearmy website.

I assume the police are still watching over them though which can only be a good thing in the long run. From all the research I did it seems like it all originated from an angry customer though, and the customer is a known con-artist.

ACM are now on the Greek Regulators list of unauthorised companies. As for the banking licence I was told in October 2007 that it was about to be issued. http://www.nbs.sk/_img/Documents/_Do...iesDealers.pdf

I guess the comments above are from non Greek clients...who are happy. looking at the link posted, you will also see that GCI Financial is banned in Spain...

ACM don't seem to be on this list you give...??

We've been working with ACM on live accounts and haven't had any problems... Yes, you need a 50K minimum to get the better spreads, but they seem solid on both the Java and MT4 platforms.

I can't speak for a live account as I am still trading demo. But they have answered all of my questions on the live chat help. I had to call them once for something too complicated to chat on and got through fast and got it taken care of.

I trade with ACm on their own Java platform, not MT4, and I have been enjoying it...still on the learning curve and so I keep out of the volatile news trading at the moment. So things are going nicely for me so far. When I "grow up" I want to trade the news with comfort in my ability to not crash and burn.

Funny thing, I am passing a few days in Paris with some friends and this morning we happened to go to a trading event we heard about from our hotel and was pleasantly surprised to see my broker present there. Nice.
