Which Broker for News Straddle trading?

MB Trading, PFG Best or Dukasopy?

I've been doing some research on what brokers should perform best for trading news events after my current broker seems to have shut me down from being profitable with news trading (constant slippage lately). I think I've narrowed it down to the above 3 brokers but if there are any other suggestions that people feel are better feel free to let me know, as long as the account minimum isn't huge.

Regards,

You will experience even more slippage with the 3 brokers you mention above if you straddle with them at news time.

Can you suggest any brokers that are more suitable PipStar? I though ECN's with good liquidity would be the best option but if I'm wrong please let me know.

You will have to try a few brokers at a time to see which one works. Just like your previous broker it will work for some time then the broker will make it harder for you. I dont think anyone can tell you the name of a broker where straddles will work all the time. And by the way, it does not have to be an ECN broker.

alpari , fx open(ecn account) and go markets
i highly recommend go markets their execution is good and slippage is minimal.
alpari(spreadbetting or pro account) not ecn

can i know the news strategy

I would recommend a broker that has the Protrader 2 platform, since she is 200 times faster than the MetaTrader. Generally the brokers that offer this platform are ECN with multiple sources of liquidity.

I would recommend 1) to find a broker with MT5 ECN execution model (MT5 is much faster than MT4) 2) try slightly different strategy, i.e. you want to bet on EURUSD after the news, so what you can do is 1 minute ahead the news buy EURUSD with stop loss at (whatever number is right) and buy USDCHF with stop loss at (whatever number is right). Stop loss is a limit order opposed to stop orders that you are using to enter your straddle trade, so the price for limit orders is guaranteed.

Anyone can recommend some good regulated brokers where spread are not widen during news releases??
Wide Spreads is a major killer for News Scalper.. .. rite?? Any brokers to introduce?? thanks

I love straddling! but my broker always freezes my platform during the events and had my trade executed long after the extreme moves. Is it ok to stick with fxcm or should I open a GO MARKETS acc?
