Hi all,

First I would like to apologize If there is thread like this, or if I put thread to wrong column.

Please can you write me your experience or opinions to this brooker, - Do I have to be worried about my money ? Or can you advice me better ? (but min deposit max 1000 USD - and leverage min 200:1)

Thank you very much
My experience with CMS was very negative. My connections with them got dropped on average 7 times a day, their news feed was prehistoric and I got stop hunted on a couple of occasions. I switched to Oanda and have never looked back. If you're looking for a reputable broker who actually walks the walk about transparency and fair dealings (not to mention no dealing desk, fast executions and second-by-second interest payments), then look no further than Oanda.

And no, I'm not some plant from Oanda. I just find them to be the absolute best retail FX broker out there.

I use CMS.. their production server is fairly stable; but they don't seem to want to invest in their demo server; and so everybody ASSUMES that their production is as unstable as their demo.

I had emailed one of their techs about it; and he says the demo server and the production server are almost same spec (with the production server being better) but there are almost 60,000 people using the demo server; but only about 6,000 on the production server.

That said, their software is easy to program but SLOW. Slow like communists selling bread kind of slow.. Compared to MT4, VT is slower than a dog with 2 legs. The fills come at around 3~5 seconds, vs MT4 which fills at < 1 sec.

I'm torn. I like the software, don't like the speed and reliability..

I agree completely with twoblink here. I have a live account at CMS but do not use it anymore as there were many days that the charts were down and I was advised that "I could still trade without the charts", which was true - but I did not trust the server as it was doubly slow on these days.

Anyhow, I much prefer MT4 in terms of execution, but I'm still partial to VT Traders charts and indicators - seems to produce a "cleaner" looking chart.

Thx boys very much,

about Oanda, I know its very good brooker, but they have only 50:1 leverage, and it is too low for me

I trade in cms but im using VT only for opening positions, and all graphs using in Metatrader, unfortunately metatrader using only offshore brookers, and it is risk to put money there

how can I see cmsfx (including VT) have one big problems - connections, but I thnik I have to live with that till I found something better

yes too bad oanda offers no flexibility as far as leverage
i like fx solutions solid feed and flex leverage (from 50:1 to 400:1)
its a very customizable platform

Well, I think not only offshore brokers use MT4 but there are some others as well such as MIG Investments from Switzelrland (and others).
