Is there any "execution only"broker who is indifferent to what is happening with price movements?(sort of oldfashioned and conservative)

Excution only seems to be getting phased out (due to MiFID?). I don't quite understand your question, though. Eplain what you are after.

To trade through a broker who does not trade against you .....(who simply can not)

Trade what market? If you're talking forex, then look for an ECN broker.

As I understand it a broker just 'brokes'. That is enables the client to effect a trade with the market. Why should/could he trade against you? Unless you mean trade as principal, then, in UK at least, it would say so on the contract.

......As I understand it a broker just 'brokes'...........---yes!

.....Trade what market?........eur/usd usd/jpy---high leverage

so many stories on the web that your win is broker loss

I am still unclear as to what your question is.
Don't believe stories without knowledge of the facts.
If a broker is acting as a broker (agent) how can he trade against you?
Could you explain exactly what you are getting at?

Als is talking about retail forex where many that are called "brokers" are really market makers. There are, however, straight path through brokers - generally called ECNs.

So you get a better price via ECN than through MMs?

NOW ABOUT THIS ?(trade2win.com )

";;;;;, all the other suppliers are cowboys and greedy and should be shown up as such.

Online message to me from a popular CFD supplier after I placed lots of small trades in a short time...
"You won that one, but we will not let you do that again."
You are sometimes trading thru a human being, not always a computer program........."

AND HOW TO FIND ONE OF LIKES.....

".....A CFD supplier who charges a straight forward commission and trades at the real market prices is the only way to go IMHO..."

(I am after both index cfd and forex cfd)

can't recall where on the web but i have read that even NDD is not really as such

an attachment can be "implanted" into automated DD----so you are in disadvantage from the very beginning

 

[raysor]

I've always used Cantors- no problem. Who the heck do you trade with?
What is a/the real market price?

traded demo with some onliners--- before traded options by phone for 10 years

just about to fund live account with one based in benelux

started thread before dicovered this broker and was in search of it and hoped to get advice



this was more an emotional outcry "are there any boring financial servants still left?"

web stories created impression that online trading space became hunting grounds

where brokers hunt for small traders to fleece them to the bone(so there is no point to try forex -

(loss later garantied)

thanks anyway and good luck to everyone
