Their spreads fluctuate a lot because it's using straight through processing but even with the spreads bouncing around it gets down around 3-4 pips for eurgbp many times throughout the trading session and a trade is taken by fap. I'm finding it's working well for both eurgbp and eurchf. I'm not testing any other pairs with them right now. They do accept Canadian clients (BC residents as well) To bring the other pairs up in their demo you have to place mouse over the watch window and right click the mouse, then from the menu select show all pairs. Kind of a bug but that's what you need to do for now. cheers, Rob<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('80','Rob Casey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('80','Rob Casey','So far so good with GallantFX.

This is one of the reasons I've been investigating GallantFX. GallantFX doesn't give a crap where you're from. Regarding DonnaForex's account, I can't answer the GBP/USD question so you'd have to ask her that. I know that for most people who if they saw a trade opportunity and they're experienced they might easily enter the odd manual trade rather than let it slip by. Again, you'd have to ask her. As far as the EURUSD ... FAP Turbo long term strategy works with the EURUSD. In fact it only works with the EURUSD. cheers, Rob Regarding the<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('76','Rob Casey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('76','Rob Casey','Hi Al,\r\n\r\nThere are few options for BC residents unfortunately.

I've since seen several negative comments on the FAPTurbo Blog on FXOPEN also. Too bad Alpari UK is not an option for BC residents! On another note I was looking over the trades of DonnaForex and noticed a string of closed trades on EUR/USD around Jan 22-23!! Also noted a few closed trades on GBP/USD!! I thought those currencys were unavailable to FAPTurbo. Did she have another robot running alongside FAPT trading these currencys? Her results would still have been excellent without these currencys being traded. Just found it interesting! cheers, Al<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('73','Al Fedor'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('73','Al Fedor','Hi Rob\r\nThanks for the headsup on FXOPEN.

Their demo looks ok but when it came to live trading I found a lot of re-quotes. There's always a difference between demo accounts and live accounts and but for various reasons I just felt the discrepancy between their live accounts and their demo accounts was too much and unjustified to make me happy. just IMHO ;) cheers, Rob<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('71','Rob Casey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('71','Rob Casey','Hi Al,\r\n\r\nI\'ve tested FXOPEN in the past and wasn\'t too impressed.

In the spread arena they match ALPARI UK exactly. (When I checked during trading hours ) My Alpari UK demo Had a fantastic month. I have opened a FXOPEN Demo to see how it does. Will let you know!

As you know, Alpari US has their eurgbp spread at 6 during our prime trading time which only leaves the eurchf to trade. What's the catch with free vps hosting? Sounds interesting though.

They in fact never were part of the NFA. They are a referring broker for Sun Spot Capital who are IRA and SEC members. Many brokers fee the NFA is an organization the mega large institutions interests at heart and as such these large institutions lobby the NFA for rules and regulations designed to protect their position in the market place and keep others out. Of course not everyone sees it this way. Regardless, one other point I should have mentioned in the post was the difference in support between GallantFX and FXCBS. When I called any of the FXCBS phone numbers listed on their website I repeatedly got the same answering machine with every number. Never a real person. When I called GallantFX I immediately got through to the people I wanted to and got all my questions answered on the spot. I'm still testing them so this isn't an endorsement.

Basically by default all the currency pairs do not show up right after a new install. If you put the mouse over the area with the currency list (market watch) then right click and select "show all" you'll see all the pairs you're expecting to see. Regarding the gfx suffix ... it's just something they do. no worries, it doesn't mean anything. It's like a bizarre branding thin i guess. cheers, Rob<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('61','Rob Casey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('61','Rob Casey','Hi Paul,\r\n\r\nThere is a minor bug in their mt4 version that they\'re working on fixing.
