billson Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Re: All About IBFX As far as I see IBFX now, they not tightly align the original NFA FIFO rule, maybe cause a lot of trader went out to non-NFA regulated brokers. So no-hedge-robots works well for me. There are some minor difference between demo and live stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Re: All About IBFX They already changed rules even Demo Accounts. As long as No Hedge EAs are O.K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rengoku Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Re: IBFX Terrible broker! Spreads get huge! I have literally seen the spreads go from 2 to over 30 in seconds! I wanted to open another account (when I first started there) and they denied me... I asked them why? They replied that it was against their rules... yet a month later they asked if I wanted another account?!? Their support is very immature and very unknowledgeable! You ask simple questions and they reply to you rudely or just ignore you all together! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere good like Jade or FXPro... or if you want minis go to FXDD!!! When I closed my account... the support person actually asked me if I wanted them to send me my money!!! I couldn’t believe it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamJon Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Re: IBFX People, I have run a spread history indicator on various pairs. Most of the time the spreads are acceptable but in times of "low liquidity" EUR/USD can go from 2 pips to 12 or more in a heartbeat. I have observed the spread sit at 12 pips for more than an hour. This can be real trouble for EAs or even live trading. I am not sure what I will do going forward. I have disabled all EAs at this point in time as all were losing more than they were making.

hermanhess Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 when will ibfx open uk office? Friends, does anyone know when ibfx will open the uk office? whenever I ask them they say "cant give a date yet", "still in the process" first they said march and now its march and they're saying "not yet" does anyone have any information as to when they will be opening the uk office? i need hedging with nano lots on MT4 and thats why I'm waiting, I'm not at all comfy with fxopen.

forexmacc Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I have the same problem too and it looks like that this is a market niche. Brokers think that if they offer nano account they can't earn from us. But I need nano lots not because of the account balance but because of the starting lots, my system is partially martingale.

JasonKwok Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Just confirmed with IBFX that we could transfer funds from IBFX (US) to IBFX (Australia) free of charge! But, has anyone tried IBFX (Australia), which allows hedge and leverage as high as 400:1? Do you have the same results on IBFX (US) and IBFX (AUS)?

JasonKwok Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 that would be interesting to know... also what are the spreads like? I've downloaded the Demo from IBFX Australia and ran the same EAs as I already have running on my IBFX US Live account. The results are similar and the spread is the same. I just saw their banner on this forum too. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajata Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Are they any good for scalping? and what about the accounts mini, micro, etc are allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonKwok Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Are they any good for scalping? and what about the accounts mini, micro, etc are allowed? I do not scalp on IBFX as their spread is not tight. Scalpers need to have tighter spread like those on ECN. Both IBFX US and Australia accept micro lot trading.

mwe Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I dont understand why someone would choose ibfx, especially if you scalp. Their spreads are horrible, very high and volatile, also during asian session. It's crap, like fxcm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwe Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I haven't tried an ecn broker yet (will try a few this month), but im happy with alpari uk so far. Their 'floating' spreads are great. very limited widening during asian session. On eurusd spread is1.6 pips, pretty much fixed all day, with 0.25 pip rebate thats 1.35 pips spread. On paper mb trading looks great for scalpers. Commission costs with rebates are okay, their spread is the best by far during 21-23 gmt. Order execution, price movement? only practise will tell. btw if you want to test with alpari uk i suggest you open a demo account with Alpari US, since they have the normal spreads and not like the alpari UK one, wich uses the spreads of their ECN account (and not even including the commission costs,, duh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmWm Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I've opened acc with ibfx. Now I'm testing it. Conditions quite well. Good quotes. And also I like their web design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trans4x Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I am using real ibfx aus for gridding. No problem with them. Fast support. But I have not withdrawed at this moment. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterngkl Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) I have been using IBFX_us since Aug2008. later stop for quite sometimes because of the US's rules on the not allow hedging & leveraging 1:100. At Oct2010, I transferred the account to IBFX_au & i actively trade in this account until now. So far, i am satisfy with this broker. My comment:- 1) no re-quote so far 2) no signal for very short time only 3) good operator service 4) withdrawal no problem 5) very high spread during news release.... scary??? What I see most of the brokers are having the wider spread during news. I have the comparison spread on 4Mar2011 on IBX & FxPrimus, their huge spread are almost the same. So, if I trade news, I will use the fixed spread platform, otherwise, i normal avoid to trade during news. Can someone share with me the experience on other brokers that is having the lower spread compare to IBFX? http://www.4shared.com/photo/hJrTsN2P/ibfx_after_nfp_110304.html http://www.4shared.com/photo/0POC8yse/fxprimus_after_nfp_110304_2.html Edited August 6, 2011 by peterngkl typing error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
