    GFT is us based. They're beneath nfa guidelines. Therefore, if you funded and therefore are in Australia your cash is most likely sitting at a US bank account. Any broker who is beneath nfa guidelines is US based, as you can't avoid them if your based there.

    I Haven't Had a requote unlike with GFT...

    FxPro Additionally requote at times...

    Odd! What's it?

    I still maintain the opinion being an FX broker is a company: they've spreads, quick fills through news is impossible, etc..

    Maintaining accounts with two or more brokers is a fantastic idea, but is a bit impractical for mepersonally, and a bit too much paranoia.

    I think there exist honest brokers. But regardless of which one you choose(non-3rd world-scam broker which is), the key factor is placing good trades....
    Hi jm8985,

    Sorry for any confusion - my remark about never using a broker requote is in regards to my Dukascopy account that I recognized as being my primary broker in precisely the same sentence. I only utilize FxPro as a top of the rest to obtain access to a larger range of tradable tools that Dukascopy don't offer.

    There are lots who don't run multiple accounts and trade successfully but my years of experience have taught me otherwise. All professional brokers in the banks utilize multiple brokers as part of the risk management and to make sure they get the best prices. I guess it really depends how much you are trading with at the first place. I trade full time and'm trading larger lot sizes than the lion's share of retail traders that I have struck oncliqforex- it is another safety net to protect yourself.

    I agree in your last things 110%, placing good trades is the key in the long run! In reality unless you are intraday scalping with small account equity, broker spreads really make difference.

    Each of the good brokers will let you maintain your account in AUD since the base currency. It's normally just a box your tick through your program.

    I have had a live account with GFT for a year 1/2 and so far I am content together. I have had two additional live accounts (Oanda FXCM). They all have their pros cons, but once I obtained experience in Forex trading it became easier for me to pick a Broker. Since now as a full time Trader I know that which benefits are most important for me. GFT spreads are fair most of the time, good execution, 24x7 live customer support. DealBook Server issues happened twice in half and a year.
    I do agree with having access to two distinct Broker platforms especially if you're trading for a living. I like to keep check on a couple of things - mostly bid/ask price, spreads. Just consider it as using a”trading backup plan.”

    Ive noticed a lot of brokers sending in a personal Agents to Foreign Exchange factory lately. I understand why all brokers wouldnt do this it would have to be beneficial to there company. I understand that they get roasted alot from scalpers on execution rate and such. I wonder if gft send p.rs around I could ask them lol

    Anybody interested, be aware of GFT inactivity charges and charges. Do not open an account and after that, for various reasons (like high volatility and materials ),not place a trade for a couple of months. They charge $60.00 a month if you don't trade. Try to end up together after a reduction or a collection of bad transactions or merely believe you'd better wait for appropriate conditions, pay attention newbies, and GFT will slash your account $60.00 each month.A small account takes only a couple months to vanish in charges and fees. Additionally, private opinion, Dealbox worked extremely slow on my computer running XP and on Windows 7 as well.Very disappointed. Not to mention the web version.It takes forever to load. Only thing I did find working with them was the dwell chat.They weren't much help for me but it did work reasonably good. MT4 works a charm with any brocker I used thus much, if anybody is looking for reasonably good broker, AUD residue, assess Axis.I'm very happy using them.IBFX have a lot of tools and resources, quite nice and useful,but on my demo with them, their spreads are most of the time twice the size as with AXIS. Hope this helps.
