Guys i have been trading for couple of years now and realised that an ECN brokers are better compared to the market makers here.
So guys i would like to know your opinion about your best ECN broker.
I understand that starting balance for ECN is high but as you all knw a good broker can completely change the profitability of our system.

may be this will help other guys to introduce themselves to ECN type.

and will pass onother couple of years and realised that trading forex is soooo expensive....
save your time and have a look at futuresfx.
will cost you half than oanda(comm+fees included).
the only cons(for me is a pro) is you can't start trading with 100$

Hi all after going through platforms, leverage, funding, regualtions and some other factors i decided to give Dukascopy a try .

the account opening is a bit tedious process with them but i consider it as good point as the regution requires proper documentation.

Some other brokers i looked at

1) Delta Stock Trading
2) Insta Forex - Eureca account
3) JadeFx
4) FxOpen
5) MB Trading

thanks for ur inputs

IMHO, these are the only ECN brokers you should trade with, not in any order

1. mbtrading
2. dukascopy
3. interactive brokers

I base my opinion on safety of funds ... which is the MOST important factor and not just based on spread, leverage customer service, fancy website bla bla bla ....

ECN brokers better than market makers? rely just depends on what you are aiming for. and seriously, if ECN brokers are better, than why do we see market makers still around...wouldn't it be obvious to start up a ECN broker? once again, depends on the purpose and style of your trading.

I agree it depends what you are looking for, if you are a loser and want bonuses, a market maker is your destination. Anything profitable, you need an ECN, STP or DMA..

To answer your question, why are there so many market makers around, its all about PROFIT! Imagine your business can make as an STP $10 - $15 per lot traded compared to a dealing desk that makes the spread ($10 - $15 per lot) plus clients losses. Financial example STP, client deposits $1000 and trades 10 lots in a month, he losses entire balance, the STP will make 10 x $10 - $15 = $100 - £150 in profit

The market maker will make on the same client the spread $100 - £150 + the $1,000 deposits = $1,100 - $1,150....

There's your answer and that's why market makers use "tools" to help you lose!

True, but it depends what kind of trader you are. I keep my positions for at least 2 weeks and I don't use automated trading.

Have you reported that to Ducascopy? I would do that before throwing around harsh words in a public forum.
I'm not insane; my mother had me tested.
