same requirements of mine.........

and only three brokers have been found

but divisa is more than suspicious (look trade2win thread)

pepperstone has execution delay negating fantastic spreads

and finfx is very good but not regulated and accts not segregated

Can you elaborate on Pepperstone's execution delay? I've seen some terrible delays when testing Million Dollar Pips EA but aside from that, smooth sailing.

Without re-checking, I'm pretty sure that Dukascopy (the EU branch) meets those criteria, and has the largest liquidity I've ever seen advertised at 100-200million at each level.

very much interested in finfx

a bit hesitant at present but things look better and better

especially after they renovated website

----------------

forex is otc market so importance of regulation of a broker is quite a contestable point

but strict accts segregation is a must

especially after mfglobal bastardizm when client's funds disappeared to nobody knows where to

------------------

any opinion of yours about this broker will be highly treasured

regards and lucky trading to everybody

Pepperstone is not so good if you read on donnaforex.com. And their Razor account is NOT a true ECN. Slippage and requotes!

I am already with FinFX ECN and I am satisfied, but always looking for something even better.

Dukascopy, do they really have MT4?

Other "premium" brokers I heard positive things about is:
ATC Brokers ECN
NordFX ECN (or Integral, requires USD20000)
CitiFX Pro Standard account
VantageFX UK
ActivTrades Interbank account
AxiTrader
PFGBest
IamFX standard account

my take.........


ATC Brokers ECN-----looks very interesting

NordFX ECN (or Integral, requires USD20000)-----do not trust at all

CitiFX Pro Standard account ----big boy no question
but big amount just to open(good for serious traders)

VantageFX UK---my guess that vd plugin is at play(delaied execution)

ActivTrades Interbank account----outright bucketshop

AxiTrader----not impressed

PFGBest---so so and certainly not great

IamFX standard account----real joke!

Do you have proof for vd plugin at VantageFX?

Anyone have experience with CitiFX Pro? For depositing USD10000 I would like to have no bad surprises.

vantage...just feeling after trading demo(and reading a lot of opinions)

but what do you want?their written negation/confirmation?sorry.........do not have

but do not expect the others do your research for you

and present the result on a silver platter

do your homework youself.........run demo for some time

-----------
after very big boy dbfx retail division was sold to bucketshop forex.com

cityfx and hsbc remain the leaders inspite of huge number of scammers

willing to get a piece of the action

and promising big bonuses promotions and discounts to attract naive newbies

-----------

sorry.........but what hell are you reflecting about?

easily having 10k(and probably much more) to deposit go for a big bank and the problem is solved

...That's silly, you really think commission would equate to a 2pip markup? Their commission tables are based off US 1million traded, not a standard lot of 100k.

sorry.........but even 0.5 pip markup on the top of duca's not tiny spread

(and slippage )is not a tolerable thing to pay for mt4

I prefer Easy-Forex. Out of all the brokers I had so far they impress me the most.
