vicebet - I can understand how you are frustrated looking around for a broker - in the unregulated environment we have it is difficult to get a feel for who is a worthwhile broker. Personally I think after the Refco bankruptcy fallout (where the fx customers basically lost their money) - the first thing you want to look at is the financial stability of the firm given that your funds are not guaranteed in the event of a bankruptcy. The NFA are stepping up their capital requirements for fx dealers and you can see a list of the best funded firms here:
Well Capitalized Forex Firms
FXCM ($51,000,000)
GFT ($48,000,000)
Oanda ($44,000,000)
FX Solutions ($20,000,000)
Gain Capital ($20,000,000)
CMS ($10,000,000)
bear in mind these figures are a little out of date - you can get the latest numbers from the CFTC website.
My choice is Oanda, and so far I am happy with them.
