Brokers whose deno accounts I have tried

Broker Discussion Forex Brokers
1

I decided to share some experiences I’ve had recently.

Interactive Brokers - many people recommend them, but their java software does not work on my computer. I cannot find where to download their windows software (does it exist?)

GCI Finanical - Their windows software downloader crashes. After e-mailing tech support, they send me a request to describe the fault in detail, which I do, then they ignore me and continue sending me marketing emails. Maybe it’s that trick where u get customers to do your beta testing?

FXLite - They use Meta Trader 4. Works fine, just the data connection sometimes cuts out for a bit. Otherwise Meta Trader works great and the demo seems unlimited.

Alpari (UK) - As above.

GFT - Dealbook 360 randomly shuts down or gives error messages and then shuts down. Sales staff tell me it’s not their software that doesn’t work, it’s my computer.

Hmmm…trouble with 5 brokers on the same computer??? Maybe you should get your computer checked out or try their software on a different computer.

Yes, there does seem to be something in that.

I use GFT and rarely had a shut down problem.

I think I was a bit vague: FXLite and Alpari worked well! :slight_smile:

What they in common is that they both used Meta Trader rather than writing their own software. I’m running WinXP. The computer was new at the start of 2006/end of 2005. I have not reinstalled windows yet, thought about it, but the computer runs fine anyway.
