I use IBFX live...and I do not see them as any type of "scam" or being "rigged".
Here is an idea for you to try over the next few weeks or so. (depends on how active of a trader you are).
***THIS IS NOT A "SYSTEM", ITS JUST TO HELP LEARN MARKET FLOW***
Open a trade based off your trading rules...DO NOT use a stop loss....rather than a stop loss, set up a pending order in the opposite direction where you would usually place a stop loss. This means that when you would usually have closed a trade for a loss, you will open a trade and start hedging your current loosing position. Then forget that they are even there...just let 'em ride, watch em, learn. Keep making trades, keep doing this. Eventually you will find that you are making small changes to your trading system so it fits the current market...if all goes well, you will start making pips to the point that you can start closing loosing positions and they wont kill your account. Once you are able to use a single system to close all your existing open orders...then try your system live....I started live with $300 and trade $0.01 pips (this will help you work through the change in "play money" to real money). For the record, I was making money with my system, then made personal mistakes that hurt alot, so now I am rebuilding...but I AM winning a good % of my trades with IBFX.
Bottom line....its not IBFX...I can promise you that much.
Good Luck.
