Broker with Depth of Market for Retail Traders

Im looking for a mt4 alternative that offers dom for retail traders. the main thing im looking for is the bid/ask ratio. ive looked into few but not satisfied:

- dukascopy: awesome broker when traded with mt4 - which im trying to avoid. Java platform has top notch features, but its unbearable, it will eat your soul, and you will have to live the rest of your life knowing that you have to wait for 2 minutes every time you open that pandoras box, because thats how long it takes for this software to load up. in 21st century. Some one create a platform and donate to dukascopy - its a humane thing to do.
- ctrader: awesome platform. So awesome im surprised that its free. im actually considering to go with this one through icmarkets. BUT, dom function lacks an important aspect. It doesnt show the sum of orders. It complicates it to a point of being useless. Even good old java of dukascopy has a better version of dom.
- fxcm's activetrader: min deposit is a bit too high. not my style. standing by...

i wanna know if there are other options that i am missing. im gonna make final decision before next week. So what other platforms are out there?! Please drop as many names as you can think of. With a word or two about its features is appreciated.

Abit late here. I have some experience trading es-mini & nk futures, BUT have not dabbled in actual trading of fx futures, so limited knowledge here. Hopefully, an experienced fx futures trader can enlighten us (althou the odds of a fx futures trader clocking time here will be extremely low). I am also considering straight up trading fx mini/micro-fx-futures.

High minimum account requirement for retail guy. If you have 25k++ upwards usd, you can trade fx full/mini/micro-futures with any broker offering cme currency futures (http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/prod...group=3&page=1). Benefit of futures over spot is that you see "true" bid-ask spreads vs marked-up spreads of mt4 brokers. However, due to the uncentralised nature of fx, do not expect "big" volume.

IB offers this (25k++ margin req: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/e...new&p=daytrade). There's also lmax (10k++ margin) but I'm skeptical of how they run premium comm on betfair. Also some others from UK like CapMar Financial, CFH Markets, LCG. Mixed reviews.

There will be some confusion about pip(spot) vs point(futures) initially. And the need to note expiration dates, if u hold overnight positions. Commission is also slightly different for spot(broker spread) vs fx futures(per contract) basis.

Not sure you can find this feature among retail fx brokers (as they work on OTC market). Maybe on futures market where exchange gathers data on all positions and its available for traders..

DOM in FX doesn't exist. The brokers that display such information - shows only their own book. It means nothing. If you need reliable DOM - stick to futures and oher financial instruments on centralized markets. FX market is highly fragmented.

Exactly, it's not that its scammy, it's just that its a fragmented marketplace.

You can use COT data from currency futures as a guide, but thats the best you're going to be able to do in FX.
