I just chatted with www.rfxt.com and they seems to be good, since you are the man with experiance, what do you think of them, currently I am with IBFX and they are killing me during the news
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi Sam.
I would just like to make a comment on the post you made. I am currently clearing via InterbankFX with my IB. The main reason why the news is killing you is due to the Spread widdening during the announcements.
Depending on your trading style this can be a killer with prices being volatile and positions not getting filled. But I would like to point out that this is common among all clearing companies.
Note that the spread widdening is a good thing. It shows that you are not working via a dealing desk. Fixed spreads are associated with companies that trade against their clients.
My personal advise would be to stay clear of the News till an hour afterwards and watch the waves calm down.

I hope this helps.
Be careful. Just because spreads widen during news doesn't mean that your broker is providing direct access to an Interbank market place. IBFX uses a Company is called FXLQ to clear their trades and FXLQ does have a dealing desk. FXLQ is not an ECN. From there you can draw your own conclusions...
I use to work at IBFX. I don't like brokers using "smoke & mirror" tactics and making false claims about they way they fill their positions. IBFX is a market maker. They just "make" their market on FXLQ's servers, so FXLQ then becomes the bucket shop, allowing IBFX to claim "no dealing desk"...
It's sooo important to research your broker's in's and out's...

STIFX is a knownful company for its superior financial products techology, analysis, and best customer service they provide.
I am trading with STIFX and all there clearing firms are legit, the funds are totally secured.
The best thing i like is quick deposit and quick withdraw of funds, along with the support makes a good trade for myself.
I dont know about Avail trading, never heard of it.
