Good UK broker?

Hi,

Have been demo trading with VT Trader with an account from CMS for a while now and have found a stratergy that works for me. I now want to open a real account and trade real money. However CMS have told me they cannot open real accounts for UK residents. Does anyone know of a good UK broker that supports VT Trader.

Many thanks,

Hi,

well, I am from the UK and opened a real account with CMS in Nov 2005, so maybe you need to double check this.

On another note, I have to say that I found CMS to be the worst forex broker and would not advise you to open an account with them anyway. Their live server is really unstable, and you will get many times when you can not even log into your account. Also, be aware that they trade against you and that their demo server is totally different from their live server. For example, in demo you will also get filled, but live you may find it impossible, or they will delay your market order and fill you at the worst price....it happens all the time with them.

Don't be fooled by the 1pip rebate that they are currently offering for every lot traded - it is a gimmick!

Somebody posted a link of other brokers who use Vtrader here:

but, before opening any account be sure to read this post too:

Hi

Where did you get the idea from that CMS will not open live accounts for UK residents???

I had no problem opening one 6 weeks after demoing. You can even open a Sterling account!

I reasonably happy with CMS. They offer 400:1 leverage and are one of the few that don't widen spreads with news (although they will not always take orders right before and after a release)

Good luck

Hi Guys, {that's intended to include ladies also if any of you happen to be of the Fairer sx}

I have to agree with you that Presently VT Trader is not even as reliable as it has been in the past, but I have it on Good Authority {I reneged on naming you 'The Horses Mouth' Chris} that we can expect a New Release sooner than normal which pays particular attention to Server Connection and some [hopefully most/all] of the bugs that surface while running winxp.

The "Target" Date for this Release is September 16th [sigh... another 2 weeks] But I for one will hang in there because I feel it will be worth it.

Please note that my points are related to the platform and not neccessarily the Borker.

for any that care I spell Brkr that way simply to avoid the link that auto associates with the correct spelling. {apologies to the sponsers and, if the wiz requests I cease, I will.}
