Well, since Broco are now spoken of in past tense, and Masterforex is an unregulated russian bucketshop with a long history of proven scam behaviour, your choice is obviously "None of the Above" Kroufr is not a regulator. It's a private enterprise ...

Need help to choose a broker

No, I was after a source to cocflanel's rumour that fxopen is going to run with the money. I'm not interested in seeing feed errors on their market maker side. I have an ECN account. Don't they reimburse feed error losses anyway?

Issues with FXOpen

Can you help me find the source of the rumour. I only seem to be able to find it in this thread.

Issues with FXOpen

OMG so does FXCM OMG so does InterbankFX OMG FXPro has 100k free! OMG! OMG! OMG! In case you are new to this, Forex brokers have always marketed their demo accounts like this. O.o

Best ECN

Can both of them give you LVLII information? That is one way to test.

is this an ECN or not?

It's been said before. Different brokers can give different prices since there is no central forex market as in the stock market. All you are seeing is two different brokers with different sources of liquidity giving different prices based on their ...

is this an ECN or not?

Negative. I have an ECN account with them.

Market maker brokers are on the way out. ECN all the way!

The net is tightening on brokers - at long last

I think given the recent rash of CFTC lawsuits, FXOpen will not be far behind in banning US clients from having the freedom to choose them. Not a good suggestion in other words.

Advice on Broker

If you are a US citizen I would say it's time to get the hell outa dodge. Withdraw and move your money to one of those lovely no hedging, fifo, 1:50 max leverage US based, CFTC registered brokers. If you are not in the US, you can stay put. It ...

Regulator sues foreign currency dealers

Delaware is legally offshore and is a haven for scams. Even some HYIP ponzi scams registered there to claim they are a legally registered business. Evidently you can register a Delaware company anonymously and avoid any pesky legal entanglements.

CFTC sues 14 FX firms in nationwide sweep

Here is a compelling reason for you. Market Makers run a dealing desk. Not only is your trade execution delayed to allow for the dealer to drop your trade into the pool, but if your strategy damages the dealing desk position they can just make your ...

Advice on Broker

Regular additions to my bank account coming from the very same fxopen would disagree strongly with you there, but hey, you are entitled to an opinion.

Advice on Broker

That will not change. It is a market maker trick designed to protect their dealing desk position. Rest assured that feature will be staying

Oanda goes Metatrader

Not the ECN ones. Oanda is still a market maker afterall

Oanda goes Metatrader

You can't change the candle time locally as the data is generated and held server side.

Do any brokers allow you to adjust the time their daily candles are formed?

Seriously, you are not going to get an ECN account for that small deposit. You will see $1000 min deposits for ECN accounts but to be serious, $5000 is more likely to be your lowest serious entry point for an ECN account. With $250 just stick to a ...

ECN/STP brokers

99% of the time, claims of stop hunting are made by traders who have no idea what they are doing. I have had the price action move to within a few pips, or even one pip from triggering a stop loss, only to reverse and make a profit. It's more about ...

Confused about stop hunting

What is scary?

FXOpen changed my leverage
