Trading with Dukascopy

Hi, has anyone traded with dukascopy?

They seem to have very good spreads. They claim they are as low as 1.8 pips on the majors.
Did anyone trade with them and has comments. Are they trustworthy? Any problems you've noticed?

Their site states that they do have mini-lots.

I use it to check some pairs when I have a break at work. Dont trade from it. But the last few times I looked there was some kind of video bug that obscured the right side of the chart page. This was on a Mac.

Do they have a good enough charting package to give enough info to make trades? It seemed quite primitive. But again I only look at a chart once in awhile.

Hey Merlin,
I know you trade commodities also, do you use LindWaldock since you're a TradeStation guy? How do you handle scaling down for better position sizing in the futures markets?

I traded a large managed account thru them.....they were fine as long as you don't mind 3-8 pip slippage and damn near every trade...I have seen spreads on the pound/usd as much as 27 pips in non volitile times, other than that, they were fine...LMAO

Hmm... What account type were you trading? Retail, Standard, Fix API, Custodian, Advisory or VIP?

Completely understand.

I trade 5-10 standard at 1-2% account size and have never encountered that. Market orders with 1pip slippage as my setting. And that’s what I get. Just seems very strange to me.

But what do I know?

Trade to trade well.
