gomarkets or alpari

I find the data on MT4 to be fairly unreliable with Alpari. I see a lot of spikes that are simply not happening.

I have no experience with gomarkets though.

I regret to say this but, I have become very disillusioned with Alpari (UK). I've been running a micro account (balance of $7,000), for an investor, in order to check Alpari's integrity as forex brokers. This exercise is being done with a view to opening a Pro account with them.

In all honesty, it's been a big disappointment. I've, yet, to understand how they can requote on Buy/Sell Stop orders, during London session, when no economic data or major news is due or, has been released. I'm talking B/S Stop orders that have been sitting in the queue for 10-30 mins so, filling them at the requested price is a no brainer for an honest broker. These are a mix of micro lot (0.01) and mini lot (0.1) trades.

I get the impression that their Micro and Classic accounts are nothing more than vehicles to operate a bucket shop brokerage. The Pro account will now be going elsewhere and the micro account closed by the end of this week.

Alpari UK seems to my like good honorable broker, but only seems. In fact their trading conditions aren't the best.

So, you think that they are honourable? Strange then that when I was testing my EA on demo account, I never had one requote. As soon as I live trade, then I get constant requotes. I could understand it if I was requesting market prices but, my strategy is based on stop orders.

When I complained, some two weeks ago, they didn't even reply to my email. Some forex broker review sites have started rating them as a "scam". Insofar as their micro and classic accounts are concerned, this may not be too far from the truth.
 
Minimum deposit for GoMarkets is only 1$. Very comfortable for testing.
