Hi guys. Im considering transferring funds from my current broker. Ideally, I am looking for a true ECN broker. This has turned into a harder choice than we'd anticipated. It appears regardless of which broker your study, there are definitely disgruntled customers for each and every one. There are no brokers which have 100% positive reviews. The issue is, when reading these reviews I cant help but feel that many of them are composed by misinformed traders who just made bad trading decisions and felt some of the fault was the brokers. Its hard to sift through all this information without being completely confused and after days of looking for answers I kind of feel like flipping a coin and seeing what happens. I decided to begin this thread in the hopes of getting some clarifiion from real Currency Market traders who make their living trading the markets. No offense to new traders, demo traders, micro lot traders or anybody else who thinks they understand that business, but please refrain from giving your opinion. This thread is intended to do is hear from real FX traders who make their living trading and also have a thorough knowledge regarding the construction of Currency Market brokers, ECN's, NDD's STP's etc.. Up to now I am leaning towards dukascopy to get a couple of reasons. ECN, ability to hedge and lets face it the swiss banking reputation is very significant. The issue is, I had been advised that accounts under 50k are not true ECN in dukascopy (my account will be 10-20k), and they also have different issues with customer support and money withdrawals. MB trading has also popped up as well as FXDD with currenex and although oanda is fundamentally a bucketshop, I understand several traders who make a living trading with them. So if anybody is out there and may offer some solid guie, it'd be greatly appreciated but please recall I would rather have 0 replies than 100 answers giving me bad advice. Who's the best TRUE broker? What were your experiences? What are the best choices to get a trader opening an account my size? And please men, no imagining or remarks based on what you have heard. I'm already confused enough, so lets get to the bottom of the!
