It is little bit hard to say which broker will lead in 2012. Even I am expecting AVAFX forex broker will lead. Other brokers which can compete it are FXCM, oanda and etoro.

Houu AvaFX is cheating like hell. Never expecting it to be broker of the year same over FXCM they are big but cheating like hell & also got fined in 2011.

I would more check:

Dukascopy
MBtrading

I would say the best broker should allow U.S. clients, and Pepperstone does not. Other than that, I've heard good things.

I couldn't disagree more.

It's not a matter of "allowing" US clients. It's a matter of conforming to US regulations for US clients. This doesn't have an impact on the broker as far as quality is concerned. If you're upset about it then address your local US politician, don't take a notch out of a broker who's only abiding by the rules.

I have done a bit of googling and I found this:

http://awards.forexexpo.com/winners/2011

Though the website seems to be created by a couple of schoolboys during one evening.

In any case I recommend you to at least study the list of awarded firms, maybe one of them will suit your needs.

Never trust such ranking form an "FX EXPO". Most ranking are due to sponsors who paid for the event. Not fair!! You pay & you get the award!

Granted this is a low liquidity, multi-country bank holiday, but I am shocked at the number of firms that didn't open at the standard 1700 ET Sunday opening. FXCM (and ATC), InterbankFX, Forex.com, FXDD, etc all closed at this moment, 7 hours after the rest the market opened.

Those that are open have mile-wide spreads (10-25pips) on all GBP pairs so far this session.

To give credit where credit is due, my hats off to PFG for opening on time and having the best spreads on GBP pairs. I thought I could say the same for IB & MBT, but both are currently showing a 20-25 pip spread on GBP/USD..

Actually I see that MBT thread has most views on this forum. Does it mean they're good, or they just have some 100 hard working promoters trying to put butter on the bread?

Too few crosses?

But you're the master of creating synthetic crosses... like you have all over the Hedge Strategy thread. hehe!

As I pointed out in this post here in the hedging strategy thread you frequent...

Just make your own.

This is not an "Americans only" forum, so don't be so self-centered. Not everyone in the world has to give a crap about american regulation.

If a bröker cannot accept american clients, then it's because of your government and its restricting regulations, not because of the bröker.

No. Gain Capital (aka. forex.com) is no good.

You should look into some of the reputable ECN brökers. Some suggestions:
IB (Interactive Broker)
MB Trading
FastBrokers
PFGBest

If you're on a very low budget and want to trade with a market maker instead, then you should probably just stick with Oanda.

PS. All of these are American brökers.

Best of luck.
