Help me find a Broker!
I'm pretty new to trading Forex, but I thought I was on to a good thing trading Fundamental Announcements with FXCM with their guaranteed orders, fixed spreads and no locking out prior to FA's. Then alas, after 6th August they no longer guaranteed orders due to the volatility in the market.
I've searched round the Internet to find a guaranteed broker, with no great success all-round. The best contenders I've found where:
CMC with guaranteed stops for a 2-pip premium - But no guaranteed entry.
GCI guaranteed stops & entry, but order must be placed one minute before price is reached.
After speaking with FXCM and being told they are without doubt the biggest and best, I thought I might be OK to carry on regardless of Guarantees - but after reading some of the scare stories here I don't know anymore?
Everybody seems to have some pro's and con's to all brokers ( and reading here it would seem some serious cons with FXCM! )
Reading one of the threads that ACM (Advanced Currency Markets) still guarantees orders in volatile time...does anyone have anything further to add about trading with these guys?
What about trading Forex futures, say with IB. Does this reflect such market moves as with Spot, and are orders guaranteed?
Please help me find a suitable broker or way to trade NFP Numbers with the best order guarantees!
Thanks.
