I get the feeling some brokers in the future may be more strict in terms of what pairs they will allow to trade. Any currency that's pegged in any way may be withdrawn from offer to avoid the kind of scenario we just saw this week.
LMAX come off as very professional and its a broker I would had gone for but reading the legal docs I don't like the way they handle negative account balances.
1) forex.com
2) Mbtrading only ecn
3) Oanda
4)Interactive Brokers
5) Citifx pro
I traded with MB for over a year and they're mt4 was bad. I don't know if it was just my bad luck but I got constant requotes, "no connection", and "ping failed" errors. Platform took until 6pm to connect so you cant trade the NZD consistently.
Although they have other platforms that may be better. FXCM was great, never had requotes but alas now they will probably exit the US. Oanda has crazy widening spreads but are honest. I like the forex.com platform but have not read any positive reviews? Is it possible that you can't trade with them even if you have 150 stop losses?? Do they somehow sabotage you? Or is it all disinformation from scalpers who try to make 2-3 pips? I think IB could be good. Citifx pro has a demo account which I signed up for but I received no email response so.... whatever. I want to try forex.com but am going to test some futures brokers first.
The only US brokers left are 1) forex.com 2) Mbtrading only ecn 3) Oanda 4)Interactive Brokers 5) Citifx pro I traded with MB for over a year and they're mt4 was bad.

I have been with forex.com for over 2 years and there is no issues so far.
In the CHF event, Forex.com made a profit. You can tell the difference..
Forex.com is a honest broker. My orders were often filled with a better price than what I set. For example, buy order @1.3000 gets filled @1.2997. It is not much, but they put extra money in your pocket. Not many brokers can do that for you. My previous broker often filled my orders with slippage...
I have withdrew money a few times and there is no problem. When I first opened account, I read some reviews saying they do not answer your withdraw request and I found that not true.
I have a OANDA demo account. For trading FOREX, there is no big difference. But Forex.com HAS more stock index and CFD products. For example, F0rex.com has NAS100 on the menu and OANDA does not have it.
FOREX.com also allows full hedge. When you have a buy and a sell order at the same time, The margin required is 0.

Anyone has any experience with LCG (London Capital Group) they have a new division LCGMT, where they offer mt4, but that's the only place where you can trade CFDs through LCG so that's the reason why I want some feedback.

Any brokerage which made a huge profit while all their customers were getting castrated probably isn't that honest.

They also own Capital Spreads and Inter Trader: http://www.capitalspreads.com/ and http://www.intertrader.com/ both have CFD's. Have not used either but the only time I see LCG in the news is to hear that their profits are down and they are a target a takeover.
