Calling all FX Men

FX Men:

Please tell us which broker you use and why. I believe this will save a lot of people time and money.

Thanks,
James

Started with Alpari UK who went bust, then moved to FXPro. Finally settled with Interactive Brokers (IB).

Reasons being the number of client accounts / market share, regulations and audited accounts.

Thanks for your feedback. Knowing what you know now would you have started with IB from the beginning?
And when Alpari UK went bust were you able to liquidate your account easily or did you go through some legal procedures.

Absolutely, I always had a keen eye on IB, although the minimum account openings were to high for what I had available when starting out. It was only after growing my account that I was able to meet their requirements, namely due to them being a true ECN & direct market access broker.

Regarding Alapri UK, when they folded due to the SNB Swiss Franc they were working closely with the FCA to return client moneys. Because of this, I got back almost 100% of the account value.
