Hi All,

I just moved from my old brokerage (Instaforex) to IBFX Aussie. So far, I like their service, friendly support and fast execution, although one thing made me 'sad'. When I made a deposit (USD 1,000) in my account i got charge USD 30, so my initial balance account was USD 970. I do not know, might It was bank charge or other issue.

Please, in case you have an account with IBFX Aussie, share your experiences here.

Happy Friday, ALL

A former broker of mine. They are still US based. All account queries and problems still need to be sorted during US times.

I have couple of micro accounts with them since about 4 years ( transferred from US account) and so far I have no problems with them and they seem very professional. Only thing bothering me is that their terminal just consumes lot of cpu probably due high no of ticks, and since I run 8 mt4s on my desktop, it is a really headache.

depends on what you are looking for my friend. For example, if you need high leverage IBFX Aussie is higher (better?) than IBFX USA.

IBFX AU is still owned and run by IBFX USA. The only difference is that IBFX USA is for USA clients that have NFA requirements. IBFX AU was setup for their non USA clients to have higher leverage etc.

IBFX is now a part of Trade Station. This happened about 2 or 3 months ago. I had a long talk with them concerning this change and things seem like it will be running even smother. From what I understand the acquisition was to take advantage of the language long-suit that IBFX had.

I like them. Had acounts with them for years now

Thats a good thing, IBFX needs to take a look on their spreads, horrible! USDCZK pair over 1000 pips!!! just to open the position, I understand it is a very exotic pair but,,,,,,, I hope now with new owners they can sort things out

they have a small order restriction on gold and silver at 30 contracts, but their contract size is only 10, so its 3 standard contracts with other brokers

Close out all of your windows that startup with a new installation of ibfx mt4. Then, go to options > chart > max bars in chart should be set to 5000 or less whenever possible. Another hack is to ''hide all' symbols in the market watch that you are not trading. That should make your mt4 installs 'leaner'

IBFX au's live chat could be improved (their software and the representatives). I think they outsource their live chat support; you can tell by their responses often times that the representative will not fully understand what you are talking about and just copy/paste some reply vs seeking clarification. Or your question is straightforward, but they give you stock reply.

Their trading conditions are solid, (STP, no requote) and they recently had a reduction in spreads to make them more in line with the rest of the forex community. Previously, they were at near rip-off levels for many of the cross pairs. But they do have mini accounts that allow for 100 units of base currency minimum order (nano lots), which is great for smaller account or even larger accounts aggressive position sizing techniques.
