They used to increase their spread from -2 to -12 pips at news release time.
I saw this many times. Only looking to hit our stop loss limit
Anyway I also used FXCM the spread is FIX -3 but I am now looking for a more tight spreads. Also FXCM is not a good broker. They also run the dealing desk they are Market Marker + Broker ;-)
I read it many times in different forums that FXCM lose when client win.
Means they open lots against their clients positions.
Because they know the clients positions due to their deailing desk.
Anyway I am looking for a -2 pip spread in EUR/USD.
I found Oanda they offer -1.5 pip spread in EUR/USD but the leverage is only 50:1 while mostly brokers offer 200:1 leverage.
anyway thanks for helping.
Best Wishes,
DAVE
I also heard good things about Oanda but they offer variable spread and 50:1 leverage...
sounds like we can make 15% MORE using another broker!

cc, I think for most people in most countries there is no 15% because of DTTs like STS said.
What I'm more confused about though is why a Bulgarian broker is much better than an offshore broker.
For most people is more!! If you pay 30 % taxes for your income you als have to pay 30 % for forex wins.
They do it, because they don´t want that you transfer `black-money`.
In Swiss the same will be in 1-2 years. If you have an account in USA, you pay no taxes in USA . if you don´t pay taxes also in Germany you can go in prison . so are taxlaws in germany. and bulgaria wants to become EU Member and so they have to do it as they do it now.
if you buy a house and you have a lot of money and you can`t say where it comes from you have a BIG problem. if they find an account in foreign country they will ask and they will get an answer from the broker. I think offshore broker also.

If it comes to taxes, you'll have to pay it that way or another.
Tax system can vary in diffrent countries, in most of them capital gains tax exists, so you have to pay it, if it does't exist you have to sum up all of your incomes including forex gains and pay tax according to normal tax rate that is binding everyone.
So i think it is better when they separate capital gain tax from personal tax and give it a lower rate, for example 15% not 40%.
Someone said Oanda has low leverage
if you really know what trading is about, 50:1 would be too much for you,
I can't even imagine how can someone trade at 200:1 or 400:1
for me that is suicide, if you use it on such a hard market as forex where liquidity can kill you in seconds on 400:1.
greets
