hi all
i was "investigating" which broker to open live account with for almost a year, while trading on demo accounts. the more i was looking in, the less i knew which to pick

i ALMOST choose fxPro, but some bad stories (about withdrawing money) turned me off, so i crossed my fingers and choose alpari (thanks to opinions on this forum).
i think they're ok. most of the time orders are filled the way i want (didn't have missed orders), but as soon as a more volatile period comes, and price changes faster few requotes happen (which is, i think, also ok, since the time i managed to push the button, price was already up/down more than 1-2 pips - i guess no one is mad to take my request on one price, and the change is significant). i'm trading live with them for a month now, and my balance is 25% up (micro-lot trader on standard account for now).
so, if they don't deserve to be in top 10, i think they deserve to be at least runner-ups.
hope this helps someone
