Some people suggest UPfx as a good broker but I personally did not take any services of them.

Is their real time execution as good as their demo... their demo is truly excellent. No slip no reQ very fast Ex. Just wondering if the feed is a good live? Any clues and thanks.

Yes definitely! I've been trading with them live for past 4-5 months and their execution is fantastic. No requotes and orders filled almost always under 1 second. Cannot beat their customer service either. Real STP broker, no dealer desk intervention, they simply pass your orders through to their LP. Equities, commodites, and currencies are all available to trade. Withdrawals and deposits are very fast too. I've traded with MANY brokers over the years and these people are up at the very top, really.

Not sure what happened, but I tried to go to their website and it freaked out my computer and I had to force close it, so I couldn't even see what they have to offer.

Yes see what you mean about the website acting weird however it only does that on my verison 6.0 Internet Explorer browser, works just fine on 5.0 Mozilla Firefox.

Get a message when I go to their site on 6.0 IE browser that you need to use IE version 9.0 in order to view website correctly or Firefox 4.0 or better. They really do have a nice site, suggest using Firefox browser.

Thx. Since you get access to their page just tell them about the poor people w/o IE9. I don't change my OS or IE for them..If they want me to be their client they have to be compatible to IE8 for windows XP as well.
BTW, do you know where their live trade server are located?

I'll mention it to them but don't you simply have another browser? You don't have to change your OS either as their totally XP compatible.

I believe their live servers are located in N.Y., NY, L.A., CA, and Washington, D.C. USA.
Thx LEX

Happy holidays!

First do these folks except us traders? Second while the ie9 thing is not their fault I do agree any good web designer would have designed the site to work with ie8. The problem is actually Microsoft as they did not make ie9 compatible with xp on purpose. It is their way of forcing you to update to win7, and if you do that then you probably also need to update your computer to handle win7 better. It is their way of extortion I suppose. Now if you use nividia graphics the updated drivers help a little with the newer directx drivers.

Yes they sure do accept US traders, I'm one. Because of that though they are very leary of advertising or "soliciting" clients from USA so they told me they just quit their advertising all-together. Since they have been so good to me I thought I'd try to get the word out just how good a broker they are as they deserve it in my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry you had problems with their site.

I use Bing (dislike Googles local linking find it annoying) and had no issues. Will continue to demo this month. So far excellent.

Thanks for the feedback. I read somewhere even taking US traders will mean the big brother gov in US will go after them (even if they dont advertise). I hope they are secure in this.

Any broker not regulated in US & accepting US customers is for sure a scam as they will face big fines from NFA/CFTC & doing so means they don't care at all for NFA/CFTC threats. Not a good sign.

Us regulated brokers are well known & market still consolidating.

This Broker is no longer accepting USA clients.

That said, I am from Canada so does not apply.

Can anyone else share there experiences here?

Seems to be good overall, spreads are tight but they do add 0.5 to a Standard account (this is their only "fee). They also have Futures I believe and CFD's.

Anyone know how long they have been operating?

As I say they seem very good overall, I guess the most concerning thing is how small the Country is, therefore not sure how "meaningful" regulation is.

TIA

Hey Jayjon,
I have used them for about 6 months now and they are the best broker I have had. I have used quite a few over the past 3 years as a trader.
Their banks are in NZ.
Try them and you will see why I like them so much...great people, great execution...etc...
