A Good U.S. Broker?

I would not count or trust the Greeks especially with the new Government. Years back, I was working for a view years for a Greek company and never experienced any problems. But then the managing company was in Switzerland.

I've been with ATC Brokers for a few months and they have been solid, with tight spreads. No worries about FIFO violations as they keep track of everything on their backend, so hedge away.

I've used both forex.com and their white-label referring broker Tradeking Forex for several years - they've never cheated me yet. I'll post an amendment to this endorsement the instant that changes - if it ever does.

It is a disaster here in the states. If you don't need Empty4, use IB. If you need Empty4, try MBTrading or cough cough fxcm (or ATC - fxcm feed).

FXCM Empty4 still uses their old price model which will cost you a minimum of 5 pips per turn since Empty4 doesnt follow market info for trading. Dont ask how much this cost me before it got my attention.

I used Justin over at Forest Park as an IB for rebates. He set me up with ATC USA. Spreads are ok. Commissions are $8 per lot with a rebat of a buck depending on your flow.

Personally speaking Ive had about all I can take from Metashit and even more so from Microshaft with their new pay operating system Windows 10 NSA edition. For this reason Ive alreay started converting my systems to Linux and will be moving to a custom API solution going forward.

I am bumping this thread to see if any US folks have tried Tradersway, FX Choice, or Tallinex. New brokers appear to be popping up in jurisdictions that are supposedly immune to US regulators, which is good and bad in many respects, and some of these brokers have been receiving decent reviews. This group in particular seems legit, but who knows. I've been using ATC when I need to hedge, and FXCM when I need micro lots, but I would like to trade other instruments and would like a little more leverage sometime.

I have accounts at all three listed. Tradersway is my main one. Tallinex I ended up there because of FinFX kicking out americans. FXChoice I have an account but never traded there.

So i have put money in tradersway and tallinex and have been able to get it back out and trade with no issues.

THANK YOU so much for this information!

Once upon a time I was so happy, happy with FinFX and HotForex but those days are terminated.

I am NOT INTERESTED IN ANY BROKERAGE IN THE USA!

My list so far that I am testing is:

Tallinex
PAXforex
Tradersway
FXChoice - I see that they have very Good Reviews so I will be demoing them!
NEW-Profiforex (they have Nano Accounts too!) :cheer:

Let's keep searching and sharing info.

Hugs,

Pippa

Read the effing manual, ok?

Afterprime is the official SHF broker. Read about them at https://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=175790#p175790.

I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.

Anyone here feeling generous? My paypal account is always in the market for a tiny donation. pianodoodler@hotmail.com is the account.
