Hi - I'm new to forex trading - currently running my FAPTURBO V20 demo account on Alpari-UK - today I have read numerous bad reports about Alpari - and I can't run another Fapturbo demo without buying another license.
I have also read some good reports about FXCM today.
Has anyone traded a live FAPTURBO account on FXCM?
If so - I would appreciate some feedback - are they good/bad/indifferent with regard to FAPTURBO?
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Joe, you might get more responses if you had put this thread in the seperate "FX Brokers Discussion" sub-forum, but no big deal i'm sure an admin can move it over.

Haven't tried with FXCM, but i know they let you use MetaTrader 4 platform instead of their "Trading station" platform, so it should work. You might want to load up the demo (dont' even need to run fapturbo) and compare the pip difference between FXCM and other major ones like IBFX, FXDD and FXPro's market feeds.

Also, while demo accounts are locked in once you get an account #, live accounts can be switched ONLY if you provide a transfer statement or something to Fapturbo's support I believe...

Hi Joe - I'm using FXCM with MT4. It works fine but the biggest disadvantage is that they do not offer demo account for MT4 platform yet! They offer demo for their own Trading Station II platform which is obviously useless for FAPTURBO EA. I'm still with them only because I migrated from their platform to MT4. Hope this helps.
