Good broker for Micro accounts?

[4xStar]

I found my solution .. I just opened an account with EFX Group, a division of MB Trading which offers an account where you can trade as low as .1 mini lot, or $1k which is a micro lot. You can also trade mini lots & of course multiples of minis where 10 minis = 1 full lot. So in the same account you have wide flexibility over position size.

They are an ECN, a fee based broker and commissions are as low as 5 cents if you trade .1 lot (micro). I look forward to seeing if these ECN brokers are as good as so many say they are. My past experience with MB Trading with an equities account was a very positive one.

4xStar,

as far as I know, 0.1 lots are mini. If like you say, you are trading 1k lots, then it should be 0.01. Maybe a typo? twice?

cheers!

Thanks, in fact I opened an account with FX Sol 2 weeks ago after running into problems funding the MBTrading account (their funding options are still pretty pre-historic ) and I like them a LOT. MUCH better than FXCM, the trading platform is way more sophisticated, faster, and so far I see no signs of my stops being taken out. Refreshing!

I currently use ThinkOrSwim, and love them as a broker, however they don't offer the smaller lot sizes, 10k is the minimum.

im with liteforex, micro/mini 10c pips , $1 min deposit, unregulated, MT4, no problems so far, the other option i was considering was fxopen, but lite has better spreads...

Stops being taken out? Thats about a scary thought! Thats like a total scam. Are there a lot of brokers that do this? If thats even a possibility, I'm not sure I want to get into forex.

I currently trying a few Demos of which one with ActivTrades. I can see they let you trade with Micro lots.

Do you have any other forex broker you may suggest to try which allow you trading in micro lots?

Thanks
