FXDD US - only $300
IBFX US - only $600

Im interested in other UK based brokers who have MT4 & allow micro lots

Anyone know of any other then Alpari & Activtrades

Also do any UK or non us users have experience of withdrawing from US brokers, how easy is it, this is the main reason for not moving more into FXDD & IBFX, if I have more confidence I have another £20K to deposit but need to know how easy it is to get money out of non-UK companies.

Thanks in anticipation
Tony
Certainly 2 accounts make sense since if one goes down and for some reason you cant get through by phone you can hedge the trade on the other.

I have never had problems withdrawing money and over the years have had accounts with MB Trading, Dukascopy, MG Forex and Oanda. You are certainly right to make sure that any broker you use is properly regulated and currently the UK and Australia have better regulation than the US although they are catching up. I have recently moved to GFT who are regulated now in a number of countries and have far superior charting in Dealbook
