I agree with you to an extent. The main problem though is that it's quite a hassle to open live accounts and then fund them. It can also be costly to fund (e.g. via international wire transfers). So there isn't really any other practical way but to ...

Interbank FX. The most reliable MT4 broker around?

Anyone could have written this PR piece: url . If you look at the contact details, the partial email is "@gmail.com". So I think it's likely to be a non-Cyprus broker who wanted to spread this in order to scare traders away from Cyprus brokers and ...

Unregulated Forex Becomes Criminal Offence in Cyprus

Interbank FX's performance page now shows an average order execution duration of 1.037ms for the period 2009-11-22 to 2009-11-27. I still think this is quite unrealistic, and I'm leaning towards believing that Interbank FX is displaying false ...

Interbank FX. The most reliable MT4 broker around?

I did some digging around and found the information below on Cyprus brokers at a few broker comparison web sites. Note that some of this information might be incorrect or outdated (especially from the last web site). You should contact the brokers ...

Unregulated Forex Becomes Criminal Offence in Cyprus

That's correct, though by "Ok" I mean that in the short term, because they have already filed, they would not be subjected to the stated action by the Commission:Let's hear about the other brokers if anyone else knows about any of them.

Unregulated Forex Becomes Criminal Offence in Cyprus

I'm thinking that this post was made by a competitor to the Cyprus brokers. It still is an important matter though. One month has already passed since the official announcement, so are any of the non-CYSEC regulated brokers in Cyprus now operating ...

Their Monday to Friday data looks even more amazing: around an average of 500 microsecond order execution time. I actually edited out my Interbank FX comment because I realize they are a Market Maker, so order execution should be faster. But I have ...

Thank you Abigail for your response and for the data. However, that spreadsheet is only of spreads and not of order execution duration. So are you able to provide order execution duration data as well? So can you please address my specific query: in ...

Interbank FX. The most reliable MT4 broker around?

Thank you for providing these numbers. So that means it's the order execution on your servers that is the big bottleneck. Ok that is reasonable. So this would be the main difference with a Market Maker broker execution. Since they don't need to send ...

Jason, thank you for the detailed reply. The reality is that even in a fast moving market, price rarely changes within a time span of a single millisecond. Price changes in discrete steps over time. So if my Expert Advisor sees 1.5000 and, within ...

Jason Rogers, please answer the question:

FXCM Micro Account Trading Environment Test

I'm still wondering whether they mean 972 milliseconds. With FXDD, the round trip ping duration from my terminal to the live FXDD servers is 1 millisecond. i.e. you could say that my terminal is next door to their server: Pinging 204.2.195.134 with ...

Interbank FX. The most reliable MT4 broker around?

If the ping time from my terminal computer to your live trading servers is at or under 1ms and my orders are submitted via an Expert Advisor (i.e. within microseconds of seeing a price quote), can I expect my order to be executed with no slippage on ...

But how about the 972 microsecond execution duration? Is an execution duration under 1 millisecond true and realistic? Or is Interbank FX showing false information?

So all the negative things you said about them may be out-of-date. Things can change a lot in a matter of years or months. Good brokers can become bad, bad brokers can become good. Can anyone who has actually been trading over the past couple of ...

Interbank FX. The most reliable MT4 broker around?

I did my research before opening a live account there so I already know this plus plenty of other bad stuff, yet I trade live there and things work Ok at the moment. When they don't I'll complain! I'm far from loyal to any broker; I have a live MB ...

Which brokers do you know does this? I have a few dormant but still funded accounts... I hope none of them have been siphoning off cash every month for similar or other reasons.

The lower commission is good, but you are still more expensive than ATC Brokers for pairs such as EUR/USD and GBPUSD, who have, for quite a while now, charged 8 USD round turn per full lot. JadeFX charges 5 USD per round turn lot.

That's 10 times as slow as JadeVPS to JadeFX or 5 times as slow as CNS to ATC Brokers. Couldn't you do any better, like set up a VPS service in the same building as your trading servers?
