Brokers for Dutch traders

Are there any Dutch traders here with recommendations for brokers?

I'm looking for a new broker, I need cheap roll-over, MT4, don't need much leverage, tight spreads are nice, not essential. Fast execution is nice, not most important. Don't want to spend money on international wire transfers, might have lots of transfers.

1. Do you need to use an international wire transfer if you deposit money to the big US firms (FXCM, GFT, Oanda, Alpari)?
Or do they hold it in accounts in Europe thus making Dutch deposits/withdrawals free? (like Interactive Brokers)

2. I'm currently looking at GKFX (EUR/USD Spread: 1,5- 1,8 pips; cheap roll-over fees). http://www.gkfx.com/
Anyone experience with this broker? Any downsides?

Oanda, GFT and Alpari all have London dependencies, as does FXCM i believe, you can send wires to their UK euro accounts and don't have to pay international wire fees from NL.

If you don't need a mt4 live account for an ea, you could stick to interactive and get a demo for mt4 with a broker that matches spreads and last traded price. In NL you can also use lynx/todays/tws to have a dutch helpdesk with IB/tws (but double the IB commissions). Depending on the pairs/spreads that you trade, I guess you will earn your transfers back. No requotes/dealing desk and honest imo.

This was my first broker (I used to live in The Netherlands), I never did forex with them though. I switched to Alex later on but they sucked. I have my stocks now with OptionsXpress (Chicago I believe) and am waiting for Questrade to come out with an MT4 so I can open up an account here in Canada.

Hello Hong Long:

Have you check Varengold Bank in Hamburg, Germany.
That should close enough for you, right?

They are a Bank and do more then just forex, so not likely
to disappear with deposits. I use to trade with them and they
were quite decent. Never had any problem with them. Including
withdrawing all my deposits to consolidate my accounts.

Thanks for all your reactions!

I started demo with GKFX today and might open up with them later. Otherwise thinking of joining the Oanda clan.

I have stocks with Interactive Brokers and stocks + FX at SaxoBank. SaxoBank is more expensive than IB when it comes to international / US stocks, they have commission costs if you trade smaller than 0.5 lots and are incompatible with MT4, so I'm closing that account.
