cTrader Broker: Pepperstone vs. FxPro vs. RoboForex (not really)

i'm about to move to a cTrader platform and have tested out a bunch of brokers ..

so far the top shelf making only Pepperstone and FXPro ..

Roboforex is on the list, because they are by far the cheapest .. but well "you get what you pay for" and the forums are full with peoples complaining about the way they handle things ...

so its mainly a Pepperstone Vs. FxPro

pepperstone has better spread and better commissions .. but they not bother at all to get you going .. unless you pay ..
well they do process but things just take ages .. if you deposit money, everything happen instantly ..

that could be a troll-protection .. but could also mean they only want the money and care little about the trading (like roboforex seems to do)

FxPro .. has multilanguage customer support .. they called me because i had issues with paperwork ..
not get spam from them .. and they try to get me sorted not only talking also by doing things.

however, they are the most expensive on the list ..
the spread is usually 0.5-0.6 higher and they charge 2$ more on commissions as Pepperstone does ..

anyone has some experience with either of them ?

Before I go into more, I like to know why only those 2 (3)? I haven’t traded with Pepperstone or FXpro, but I have tried RoboFX in past with their forum bonus, but wasn’t great experience, I did not tried their cTrader platform. Currently, I am using OctaFX broker, so you can try it, but of course that’s if you are okay with outside your choices, as they also have cTrader platform, I personally like it very much because it’s basically like Mt4 only with just advance system in place.

Go with Pepperstone. Been with them one year now. Never had any problem.

i went trough serval places .. listing ctrader broker .. as i not wantet to just go from the spotware recomentations ..

i basically signed up with all of them .. used some demo accounts and so on .. compared prices (which is on its own already a lifetime assignement)

because there is usually a large difference in what they tell you and whats really happening

so absolutly i will give OctaFX a spin as well (since i did not hear of them yet)..

personally i do tend to pepperstone .. but FXPro has some advantages too ..
as example the sales rep's speak my language (german) .. and he is not try to sell me anything .. but know technology and the market ..
that was kind of impressive ...

and they do have a "vault" .. like Alpari does as well .. so you can park your money outside your trade accounts but with the regulation protection .. thats somethings very few brokers do have.

but as said before, they not the cheapest one .. in fact they are the most expensive on my short list)

still struggeling to pick a permanent one

another thing to mention is that fxpro does offer Commodities as well .. where Pepperstone has that only on demo accounts ...

and execution speeds are MUCH faster on FXPro (but thats maybe somethings connection based) ...
i made 2 trades to compare ... (i set T/P to 1 pip) ..

one .01 and one .1 order ..

here the results in attaches screenshoots ..
well the higher payout is not only related to the better comission, its also because the execution was slower .. so i was able to grab 0.3 pip more than i could with fxPro
on a loosing trade this would be (of course) just as bad .. as good it is on the winning ones

Pepperstone vs. FxPro Spreads (made screenshoot at the same time)

One thing with low spreads is necessary that it should be without commission, i hate paying commission because then what's the point of low spread?

exactly!

it should be either spread OR commission.

well on pepperstone the prices are still good with commission+spread

Any experience with IC Markets' ctrader?
