Please can anybody recommend any true ECN/STP brokers that have the following attributes: 1. Maximum leverage of 100:1 2. Minimum lot size of 0.1 3. No stop loss hunting 4. No markup on spread 5. Low commission 6. No slippage 7. No re-quoting 8. Low swap
Just google to pickup some names and search them on FF and FPA to know exactly their trader opinions. It could help you to have a right broker.

{quote} They are EXACTLY the same except Global Prime does not offer cTrader which prevent more of intervention on the dealer's part.
Started testing the cTrader platform since a few day's. I really like it! This should be the new industry standard instead of MT4 .
I am thinking of leaving my current broker (Dukascopy EU) and going back to Pepperstone. Had some great experiences there in the past.
To bad there aren't more decent brokers offering the cTrader platorm.

In the US, 50:1 leverage is the maximum allowed. Also, many off-shore companies do not accept US customers ( including LMAX). For them, it's just not worth the hassle to deal with the CFTC.

Frankly, ECN brokers are overrated anyway. As we saw on January 15 when the SNB made its surprise announcement, liquidity on the interbank market (the REAL forex) dried up. On the interbank market, you're not guaranteed a fill, nor are you guaranteed a low spread. So, ECN isn't all it's cracked up to be. You'd probably be better off trading currency futures.

Because i tried the Jforex platform from Dukascopy and i really liked it.
I must say for me, the cTrader is even better then the Jforex platform.
And i HATE mt4

Not an endorsement but anyone tried FXCC? They look like they have low spreads and their customer support claims that they are a true ECN/STP broker.

Does Tickmill offer the cTrader platform or Darwinex?

One broker that I have been thinking about trading with is www.PFD-nz.com, they seem to have really tight spreads, but their website is not great.

I am using ICMarkets, and have bad experience. My EA works on Demo account, but on live account I have 'Error 133: Trade not allowed' notification in my Terminal/Experts tab. And the reply from their side was that I changed Investor password... which I do not recall in my wake state.

Not recommended.

I think you need a kind of commission account, I use 0 spread account, its from Hotforex, acceptable commission (8 bucks/lot on majors). They offer :100 leverage and of course 0.1 lot but its not minimal.
Good luck in finding decent broker.

So its the brokers fault your ea is not working live? - Perhaps you should check the source code. Some ea's is coded only to Work on demo account.

Had the same error with Hotforex MT4 but when updated the platform it were solved. Also try to not use several MT4 simultaneously they can conflict between each other.

You may be trying to trade/backtest a weird symbol name not recognized by MT4, like "EURUSD_ECN".

I am using ECN Pro account with TradeWiseFx, it is an ECN broker, so pretty safe to work with them. I believe we should always test the broker first before making investment, as most people I see are either stuck with broker given withdrawal issue or struggling because of wrong condition, so I just suggest people to be patient and do work backhand before trading.

I trade with Octafx, they are true ECN company and have nice conditions, so I will recommend that, but one thing I like to clear that even that we should always judge any company by working with them on demo or other alternative before real investment. I did similar thing and I started only after I was satisfied. The part is now we can participate on demo contest with them, so no need of trying dull demo account that most new comers hate.
