Reliable, But Lousy Spreads

by David S.
(Canada)

Hi Everyone.

I just finished closing my live trading account with Interbank FX (IBFX).

In order for many of the automated trading systems (EAs) to be profitable, it is necessary for the broker's price spreads to be reasonable. One such EA that I use has been unable to trade because of the HUGE spreads occurring recently with IBFX.

I expressed my concern to them, but they told me that there was nothing they could do about it. Compared to other brokers I trade with, IBFX spreads were regularly more than 3 times wider than the others.

If you know of a broker with good spread pricing, I would sure like to know about them!

IBFX good for megadroid

I also have an account at IBFX and also find the spreads to be wider than other brokers but not too bad considering that they offer nano(0.001) lots trading ,which means that an IBFX mini account is perfect if you want to test multiple strategies with almost no risk. One scalping EA that actually still works on IBFX is forexmegadroid the only other EA I use on IBFX is proforexrobot. I found a live demo forward test that you can follow to see if the EA works on ibfx or not at http://www.mt4i.com/users/fst-proforexrobot
