Ikon Group - DukasCopy

Good morning.

As all of you know, Alpari Uk is more or less failed.
I considered this broker good.
In the meantime in which my deposit on Alpari UK will be give me back I need to find an alternative good broker.

More or less 99% of my trades are in intraday and generically my positions are closed in 1 hour.
I trade manually and secondly I code EA.

So I need a broker that has an avarage spread on EurUsd, GbpUsd, UsdJpy below 1.5 pips for all the 3 pairs.
I'm taking in consideration Ikon Group and DukasCopy. Do you have some experiences with these brokers ?

I prefer a not pure ECN broker (I dunno commission).

Considering that Alpari is very big, it can be reasonable open an account on Alpari Ru or Alpari NZ after that the issue about Alpari Uk is defined ?

P.s. I live in Italy so I should use dukascopu europe.

Thank you

It seems to me Dukascopy doesn't use MT4 but another proprietary ST.
Then shoud be a matter of time to be skilled with the new ST.
I personally prefer MT4

I too would like to hear comments from traders especially with larger and successful accounts advice on which broker is trustworthy and big enough to fill orders of larger clients.

Do you have some feedback on IG and ActiveTrade ?

I have used both Dukascopy and IKON (UK-based). They are different kinds of brokers, but both are good. In my practice, both were satisfactorily stable and reliable during the CHF bomb.

IG is a good broker, but lost GBP 30M during the CHF event. I think it was the first broker declared the loss (even before FXCM).

I'm considering these others two:
- activtrades
- atom 8 (suggested me on a forum)

I'm seriously thinking to open with activtrades, good STP broker with really really low spread (no commission). It's FCA, FCCS and Consob associated.

In the meantime I wait to get my money from Alpari Uk...ahah..what the hell

Is Dukascopy a liquidity providers?
