I agree with the comments regarding IC Markets slippage. I used to be a great proponent of IC markets and traded with them for quite some time...but they have definitely gone downhill in my opinion. I have heard/read that FxPro's cTrader is not bad and also Pepperstones, so will be looking to...

I can recommend ICMarkets from personal experience. I agree with some of the above comments, in general I would stay away from NZ brokers (with the exception maybe of Pacific Financial Derivatives) as the regulation there is almost non-existent. Here is a list of 24+ brokers with offices in...

ProfiForex is unregulated....that rules them off my list.. In my opinion, with all the dodgy scamming brokers that there are these days, it's crazy going for one which is not regulated ...especially when you have the choice of so many that are...

Leave the poor old Whinging Poms out of it ! poor buggers are still licking their wounds after getting their arses handed to them in the Ashes ;)

I can understand why he wants a broker that is regulated by the FCA. I would much rather go for an FCA regulated broker which would then entitle him to be covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme for starters. It would also allow him to sleep a lot better at night knowing that his...

I agree with you, there are a lot of dodgy unscrupulous brokers out there, but you can drastically reduce the chances of signing up with one if you just make sure that they are regulated in a western country (preferably Australia or UK). If they got caught by the regulatory bodies in those...

IG isn't on the list, however since you know IG's rates, you can compare them with other brokers and therefore see if you are being ripped off or if IG's rates are reasonable by comparison. And as I said above, they appear to be middle of the road :thumbsup:

You can compare their swap rates against other brokers here : http://www.forexchurch.com/forex-broker-swap.cfm Click the "View Different Currency" , choose audchf and click update ....form what I can see they are reasonably priced, there are some much worse and some better.

From what i have seen between live and demo accounts, the spreads are pretty much identical (in my experience anyway). Another good site to compare live spreads (and live volumes and swaps) is http://www.forexchurch.com/forex-spreads.cfm . They also have over 100 brokers and detailed info on...
