ibfx is good, but fxopen is better imo.

IBFX.com during NFP report, their website is completely down. Already over 45 minutes - still down.

I am always concerned when a broker does not own their own technology and instead uses one that was designed to deal against traders - MetaTrader. Their primary goal is not to offer you a competitive product to earn in the forex market, but instead to offer you what is the most popular product to the gullible, naive retail world - MetaTrader.
Metatrader is just a platform. It's not "Metatrader's" fault that you and most newbies lose in this market.
Hello,
This is Ben with Interbank FX
IBFX is okay, but I'm not trading there because of the spreads (which matter in the long run for a mid to high frequency trader like me). e.g. an average of 2.2 pips spread on EURUSD is unnecessary. There are better deals out there (such as Oanda who offers at least half those spreads) so why would I go to IBFX instead? It wouldn't make sense.
Mary when the system crashes and we can't get into it with a mobile platform or desktop, treat your customers like they're important.
All systems have problems from time to time with meta-trader. That's no excuse for piss poor customer service people. Interbank smiles when it's a mundane question....other times they are a pain to deal with. Pgbest is a good example of decent customer service. (not the best but acceptable)
Maybe if we keep having this conversation, you'll eventually get the messege that we can invest other places and we do.
Mary, tell your bosses....it's only going to get more competitive in the next two years. You don't have my big bank. You could! This conversation makes it a little harder for you to bring that money your way.....I feel you still don't get it.
Thanks Mary. Nice B.S. at the end Mary. A good broker will look at the records and correct them when the systems wrongs a customer.

Any proof to back this up?

First of all it's Marv (short for Marven), not Mary.
Second, I don't work for IBFX, lol. (I just bashed their spreads)
No WONDER customer service are treating you that way...

Have anyone experienced this spike on EUR/CHF on the Australian session? I have to mention that I have two more opened positions on this pair, one from 1.3260 level and the second from 1.2481 level. Not to mention that all my profits from the last month are cause by eurchf decrease in price.
