Right I've been trading demo accounts for about 18 months now, I've developed a few strategies and I'm just starting to look at trading live accounts. Now I've seen plenty of FX brokers offer services but I'm still sceptical about most of them. From my research the best spreads and most accurate volume data will come from the market makers, Deutsche Bank, UBS, Barclays, CITI group and RBS. I feel more secure with these banks than with some start-up FX broker. Does anyone here trade with any of the major banks? If so what are your experiences? What sort of capital do they ask for and how much leverage do they offer? Is it possible to adapt MT4 indicators/scripts/EAs to run on their platforms?
