Good speed in execution of orders plus MT4 trading
possible....fast withdrawal of funds and no hassle....

They would have been my favorite broker too if I could figure out how to use their platform If only they make it a descent one.

IBFX have high spreads, why someone choses them? why dont you chose OAnda and MBtrading?

Introducing Brokers (IBs) post bad reviews about no dealing desk brokers
IBs like market maker brokers especially with high spreads
my favorite broker is FXCM - active trader

I had many brokers with demo and live accounts.
The best and the only is www.upfx.com
They have instant executions, transparent, easy going STP, no problems with them at all.
I have live account with them for about 6 months now.

I found this article while surfing today. As a retail trader, I'm agree with the writer that Oanda is champion for cost, and I love FXCM platform. If one of regulated brokers can offer this, surely they will become one of my preferred brokers.

I joined upfx 3 months ago and I was blown away by the personal attention they gave me. I have not been disappointed since. They do have low spreads, fast execution, and best customer service I have experienced.
If you want that kind of broker - with currencies as well as futures/gold, etc...these guys are great!

Tadawul is worth a look.
I am currently on demo with them.
I have not had one re-quote.
 The platform has not frozen once
 The support is pretty impressive and I have had two long and very detailed private replies to my questions.
 They offer fixed spreads, they are slightly wider than others, but fixed.

 Also and importantly for me they offer Indices, Metals and Futures on one MT4 platform.
Early days but so far....
Not a recommendation as I have no live experience with them, but could be worth a look.

 Mind you they could do with a name change...

I have tried many brokers. ODL and MIG are trade friendly. No harsh price moves or freezing at news times. Fast execution of orders and at price that you expect. excellent customer service. I appreciate their good will to make fair money and being true to their customers.

The top one on the list would have to be Trader's way - very low spreads and I use FXCM about now and then [not often, for the spreads are a bit on the high side], considering a few others..

For me, i think TradeFort is best broker i have tested. TradeFort is great for newbie traders...they have low spreads and from time to time they offer free no-deposit bonus real money to help newbie traders get started with on live account. Their trading platform is great too! Fast order execution and no freezing of platform at any time. TradeFort is good broker

I have this idea:

I am just about to complete testing my successful EA.I am testing the expert on different Metatrader platforms.

I have noticed that the win/loss ratio differes from one broker to another.So after I finish testing I want to run the expert on the most smooth and profitable(demo) platfrom then I want my expert to send buy sell signals from demo to my real account.So the take profit, stop loss, trailing stop etc will be run on demo account data ,buy-sell(only) orders will be run on real account data.

Has anyone done this before?How can I do this?Cheers.

Has anyone done this...

Before anything else, look into downloading historical tick data and importing it into MT4. You need to have a modeling quality (as reported by Metatrader) of at least 90%, if not greater, before you can have any trust in your EA.

Try to get this tick data from your desired broker.

Instead of just running backtests, spend time forward-testing the EA on multiple demo platforms. Find out which broker's price feed works best for your EA and use it.

Finally... if you must copy trades (and I don't suggest doing so from what you've described) then I started this thread not too long ago about using tools to copy trades from one MT4 instance to another:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=335676

The best solution seems to have come from MT4i's scripts, but there are many to choose from.
