I read that there is no need for certified papers anymore.
Hope this helps.

Hi c12,
Yes it's very disappointing, I'm in the market a lot and i'm very much into the details and run a number of demo and live accounts with other brokers and although i have seen this on other brokers, is my most active account, i notice it more there....I do compare price from my axi account alot accross all the brokers that i have...This type of spiking in price and spread makes it very difficult to trade, as the can (and do often) spike through pivots, rounds numbers and obvious support and resistance points....so, you find your self...
I don't think hiding stops is really the answer to your problems. Of course, FX is not a centralised exchange like the stock market. Meaning there's no such ONE price for anything. You will have multiple price providers (in most brokers) which means that different banks quote a different prices. The more banks you have the less spikes etc you may have. Comparing every trade with another broker is like comparing apples and oranges. You'll have different prices and would go insane going back and forth every time wouldn't you? Check the difference between say Bloomberg and Reuters? It is different.
I've traded with Axi for awhile now and I don't think they'd be still in business if they were going after traders. I think theories and paranoia like this are a thing of the past. To defend the aussies across the ditch, they are typically good brokers (much better than here in NZ) and they don't have any reason to go after your trades.. Perhaps providers like IG or CMC in Aus had a history a long time ago of doing this but don't really think Aus brokers have that ability to go after you. I used to trade manually (though only trade with EA's now) but if you're setting your prices at supp/resistance lines then don't you think thousands of other traders are thinking just the same as you? And therefore the banks (who control the majority of the market) will be doing that? Just my two cents..
I'd suggest contacting your account manager to get them to look into it more. But there's probably not much you can do comparing two brokers as they are always going to be different. Good luck in your trading!

Hey Ramy,
Do you trade manually or discretionary?
I gave up a long time ago on manual trading... It just never seemed to work for me. So I took the lazy way out and started EA trading.. Never looked back!
You’re not being lazy, you figured out what suits, so you’re way ahead of many.
Yeah, I tend to try and keep it as mechanical as possible, with a mix of both. Will really depend on the move. When I alone take some “I think this will work trade” I get my behind handed to me, lol. Can’t really code it into an EA though. Would be nice. I could become lazy too.
I have a couple of EAs I am working on. It’s a lot of time to invest, especially the learning curve part, then the coding, the testing, etc...
Did you buy your EAs?

@Ramy3,
That's not what I'm saying, refer to my earlier post, i provided a couple of examples....
Phew, was sorta of worried there.
Thanks for the links, i currently going back to looking at these tools
Seems odd though, you don't appear to be worried about AXI and your using stealth trading tools...!
I'll make you a deal, if all of a sudden believe i was wrong about AXI, i'll post here that i'm wrong, however if you drop AXI, then you post here....!
Paul
Countless times i seen my SL 0.1 away from being taken out. And I always wonder if they were hard set would I have been taken out.Trading is tough enough without adding extra mind games while in a trade. Others have no problem with hard set SL/TP. They have their advantages.
Will be the first to wreak havoc if I experience something negative with them trading wise. So it’s a deal.
As traders we need to stay proactive and say when something does not feel right or is not right. It’s the only way we have of knowing what kind of broker we are dealing with. And it may help others in return who are experiencing similar difficulties. Saying a few compliments here and there does not hurt either.
So, I am very glad you posted you're concern. That's what forums are for.
Hope the tools help you as well as they help me.
Happy trading!

Im running several accounts on their NY Pro. Im facing since quite some time severe slippage issues. Especially on G/J Im getting up to 14 pips negative slippage. Since weeks they promise to improve, nothing happened so far..

If there is no resolution as promised yet, recontact them then try others with a small capital and switch if conditions are better. Totally understandable.
I see by your posts that you have been trying others.
Keep us updated.

I mainly use tick scalping EA's which I purchase myself yes. I've been getting into it a lot more with my own strategies and the potential for moving into getting someone to code them. But that will be a long way away. I am finding good results with AXI recently using tick scalping EA's, like #1 and SuperScalper which has been really positive.
One day I'll have a whole war chest of my own though
