I've been using iamfx for 1 month in domo account. I try to test in demo account on
another broker but i don't like it becausespread so wide and execute order like you watch slow

This month i change to trade with real account with iamfx. The performance of live server as
same as demo server. Execute Order and Close very fast nearest the position i saw in chart. The
commission is equa the demo account in micro account is 1.2 and 1 in standard account. If you
are scraper or EA this is the absolute broker for make profit because there is lowest spread.
Funding Option only on wire transfer is uncomfortable but on FEB 2011 they allow to use credit
card and moneybookers for funding my account. I'am happy with this option so much because of
in my country send money via wire transfer is very difficult the bank require receive or invoice
for check purpose of you transfer. They are not allow to invest in other country. So Bad

To markkuch : Indeed, the spread are correct with IamFX, but don't forget to add the commission w
trade...
then,
the
result
will
be
higher
than

or
even
FXCM

Now, if you talk about big account which are normally Institutional account, the difference between D
not big, it is simply huge. Only the Bottom line is interesting ;-)

markkuch, I'm not sure which broker you are referring to as market.com domain does not lead to a bro

I unfortunately don't know what style of trading you have, but if you are making trades and aiming
profit, then I don't think that a 1 pip commission can be an obstacle. I'm doing both longer term trade
TP, but also I do scalping a bit for a few pips only. I personally like to have lower spreads as it is be
some side commission rather than not hitting TP at all because of bigger spread. But I understan

markkuch, as far as it concerns VPS, I will not write much as I don't use VPS, but from my view,
follows, you can either choose to trade with a broker providing you a free VPS and having a lower cost
go with other broker, who will charge you more for your trading and you won't even get a free VPS. I
