Dear all,

Does anyone trade with this broker? If you have experience with them kindly post here. More Australian broker coming up.

Here is the link to their website http://pepperstone.com/
Well, I have received an email enticement from them. They picked my address up from GoMarkets somehow (wondering if they might be affiliated with them in some way?).

I too am wondering about their honesty, reliability, claim to STP trade execution, etc., etc.

Could use another reliable Australian broker to do business with.

Anyone out there with any actual history with these folks?
I want to hear the news about this broker too...

any re-quotes, slippages, disconnected problems, withdrawal delays, etc., etc...???

LasVahGoose - I bet 'Alpari' sounded strange the first time you heard it also

I have had a very positive experience with pepperstone so far. Its good to see another regulated aussie broker as being Australian I like to keep my funds on-shore and safe in a tightly-regulated jurisdiction.

I opened a live account about 2 weeks ago and have been closely monitoring spreads on their platform. My Goal was to check 2 things:

I got an email from these guys and no idea why. I thought I would have a look at them and noticed that have only been going for about three months. I struggle to trust a broker that has only been going for 10 minutes! I asked about their finances and client numbers and was told that they have 'hundreds' which doesnt seem like something to brag about.

They told me they had significant capitalisation but they since ignored my emails when I asked for more info! Every question I have asked them has resulted in a very strangely worded responses. I dont normally trust companies that do not have their own licence either and their price feed seems identical to Axis, who I have not been impressed with. Are they a white label? Any idea?
yeah i asked what there net capital was and was basically told its none of my business and its not released to the public very weird i think i will stick with the bigger names i think

Do they accept US client?

Go-Market does not.
I emailed them last week and they said no. But you can always , just fill out the app and see. If you click US on the app it says ok. So who knows for sure.

I think they get their liquidity from the integral ECN judging by the spreads I saw in my analysis - Whereas Go Markets get theirs from Currenex.

What I have been seeing is some serious tick volume compared to FXCM - But maybe that has something to do with the recent volatility in the markets.
They don't filter the price feed according to this link on Donna Forex site, whereas I've heard other brokers do.
I just signed up and I'll be funding the account soon, so I'll post back.

Anyone else have any experience with Pepperstone?
Drink Coffee. Do stupid things faster with more energy.
I signed up a couple weeks ago and experience has been 99% positive so far.

EXCELLENT customer service when I call (I really can't commend them more on this, they really are great), no shady business with the quotes, no problems withdrawing/depositting money (I gotta say they get withdraws processed very quickly, it asks for 48 hours but they got it done in 18-24.)

I have the razor account and the spreads are what they claim, as low as 0.1 on eurusd. but it tends to fluctuate very quickly between 0.1 and 0.9, average would be about 0.6. You pay $3.50 per 1 standard lot (100k) for a buy and to sell it another $3.50. (I don't mind since I can write off comission on tax).

I noticed a couple of small gaps in their price feed which I didn't get on other brokers but it wasn't, in my opinion, a cause for concern. I've seen 3 of these in the last 2 weeks and they didn't effect my trading whatsoever.

My orders are always processed if not instantly in 2-5 seconds and I get the prices I asked for.

Would I recommend them? yes they're great as a broker (not that I take on any liability here)

correct, both good brokers..
I am demoing these guys at the moment. I want the razor account. Forget their fixed spread, it is too wide, but the razor ecn is one of the best I have ever seen. I will go live soon
I have been looking at the demo for them as well. Any feedback to live trading experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks.
they are great. the best place to start.. (razor acct.)
