Its been like that since forever, and they are only compliant with AML regulation.

I have a problem with Oanda's withdrawal policy

Sure. They are totally reading all this junk to stop out your microlot.

What brokers do Professional traders use? Do they have any problems?

LCG has a retail side and a agency/commission-based fx business. For the agency business they use JPM as pb and just extend that to their clients, so they can trade on hotspot, currenex and so on. Nothing wrong with that. The stakeholders tried to ...

What brokers do Professional traders use? Do they have any problems?

Obviously you would get slippage, potentially a whole lot of it. CMC Markets had guaranteed stops, not sure if they still do. But they had a steep fee attached to them.

Broker with "hard" SL

I dont think you understand. Your stops will still be executed at the prevailing market price on the open. You are still at risk. Its only the limit/target price - if the gap is in your favour - that you will be filled at your target price. NFA ...

CMC Markets

url My experience is that they are reliable, fills are fast. Thats for FX/metals and the web-trading platform. I don't know about their MT4, and i would advise against trading their commodity and index products intraday, since they only have a ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

2.4 pip in eur/usd? Not sure why people put up with this, to be honest. But since they are one of the biggest firms, it is apparently good enough for most.

Help in broker search

Java is that thing that tries to install the Ask-toolbar during every update. Borderline-malware in my book.

Dukascopy

Do you understand the difference between the bid and the ask price? And that said difference routinely blows out during news releases?

Problems with order execution

Also Vienna. I can log into fxtrade via UPC.

OANDA Discussion

Yes to both. Although such a fill is unlikely, but still possible. Its more likely that price will either trade through your limit or run away than being hit by another client order just at the right time.

LMAX = revolution?!?

What wrong with Oanda, MBTrading or Interactive Brokers?

Best broker for United States residents

Yes thats cheaper. But i dont want to be an unsecured creditor of an estonian llc whose owners have a dodgy regulatory history. If you stay in the UK, at least you get GBP 50K back, if the worst comes to the worst.

LMAX Exchange discount.

Its 20$ per side per million USD traded. So eur/usd is $20 * 1.3080 = $26,16 per side, $52,32 per round-turn ( or 0.52 pips).

LMAX Exchange discount.

Ffxmtf.com used to give 20% reduction ($20/m instead of $25), but now they dont specify on their website how much they will reduce the commission. Might be worth asking - or even damanding the $20 and telling them you go somewhere else if they dont. ...

LMAX = revolution?!?

I know Oanda has suspended accounts because of this, and also declined larger deposits. They need to make sure the amount a client deposits with them is inline with what they have on record as net-worth and/or income. Just tell them what they want ...

Oanda keeps bugging me about net worth/employment updates

This is regulation - not something Oanda is arbitrarily making up. Its to protect retail clients who try to gamble away their last bit of cash.

Oanda keeps bugging me about net worth/employment updates

The credibility of a 14-post user will settle that, i suppose..

Who is the best ECN Broker for large deposits & volumes

I have no idea.

Pepperstone Forex

Supposedly because they bought no banner.
