I'm interesed though; why WOULDN'T you trade ECN forex rather than retail, sure it's 'only' half a pip, but it still counts, why wouldn't ye?
in my experience there's a hair's breadth between oanda, IB, alpari, fxcm, dbfx, dukas or citi..customer service, good contacts, folk you might build up a relationship with, interesting innovations, forums, market research, all count moving forward..Now if you're talking Autobahn then yep I 'get the *need*..otherwise it's a pointless debate as I've not had major issues with any broker or bank.
Even a *huge* (LOL) single pip spread difference will make no impact to my success. Now it's easy to say "but using actuarial 20/20 hindsight you could have made x amount more there per annum..." honestly, what bo11ox, so I'll set my limits for 251 rather than 250 eh, or average stop at 104 as opposed to 105? Jeez..
