X-Trade Brokers (XTB)

Hello,

was wondering if there are any traders here that use X-Trade Brokers?

Anyone can share experience w/ them?

They have offices in many European countries (uk, france, poland, italy, etc).

They offer forex spot on STP mini-contracts; CFD's on equities, Indices and commodities (actually good offer on commodities, i think)

They have these all-week webinars where you can ask for analysis on instruments you are trading.

tested them in 2009, they are MM (your win=their loss), experienced stop-hunting, higher fees, good service, easy withdrawals => would not recommend'em for serious live trading..

Yes they are Market Makers,

i never experienced stop-hunting but then again i only use them for commodities and weekly swing forex positions.

I don't trade scalping or any daytrading system w/ them.

Their contracts on gold and agriculture futures are very good.

I agree w/ you that their costumer service is good.

anyone else has experience w/ them.

thx

I`ve opened a standart (micro) fixed spread account a few month ago and I was quite happy with that till last Friday (04/01/2013) US data release. Before the data came out, they raised the spread to 8 pips on every USD pairs. They kept this spread for 10-15 minutes after the release.

Despite it is very rude, I am sure they can find a very good reason why did this, the only thing what I can`t accept is I had an open trade EURUSD before the release, and they increased the spread on that trade as well...
