Dislikedi have live accounts with both ACM and Swissquote since 08. Way before they merged. Have both a savings and trading account with Swissquote but never traded Fx, as their platform is very weak I personally like ACM and have made good money with them. They will work with you and their platform is really good. They gave me a permanent demo account because i prefer the charting on the demo account. I can run both accounts and charts simultaneously. Hedging is good and scalping is great.Ignored
DislikedGuess i don't know any better))))))) They were recommended to me and i have never used anyone else. I have been a full time trader now for a few years and i make money on their platform..............so i can not complain. They have been very helpful to me and on occassion have corrected errors in my trading when i first started. Besides they sponsor a ferrari)))))))))))) Forza ferrari!!!!!!!!! I am a ferrari fan))))Ignored
DislikedWell, it is up to you. But their trading conditions are only good for traders with deep pockets. Even for standard account spreads are too highIgnored
DislikedYou maybe right. But i did not think the spreads were that far off. I generally trade the majors and my spread is around 1.8. I did look at Dukscopy, but after commissions, it seemed about the same to me. But you can get similar spreads with ACM. I really not on top of other brokers. I just replied to this thread because i was familiar with ACM and Swissquote
Actually one of the reasons i started trading with acm was because they were the only ones that had a platform for my mac at the time i started. Maybe there were others. I just didn't...Ignored
DislikedI was with them from early 2008-early 2009. They were behaving like a scam-bucketshop. Software would pause at critical points prohibiting you from taking quick profit and would start functioning again when your position was in red. Random spikes to take your SL out (spikes that didn't exist in other brokers). The only thing that didn't feel scam-like was the support which was responsive (although they would never reply with detail to hot questions). I didn't know about raiding their offices but it served them right if it did happen.Ignored
DislikedI Experienced the same problems you described.. I estimate I lost around 300€ with this broker.. any time I have asked for an explanation I have never received one....Ignored
