They're probably not the best broker for scalpers, since it doesn't offer level II, but CMC markets do allow scalping as a trading strategy.
I found this out after speaking to them after I executed a few FX and DAX trades that were very short. The client services guy I spoke to said scalping there is fine as long as traders don't use any third party software. Just thought I'd check because currently I deal a lot with them and don't want to **** them off.
No "third party software" ? What does that mean? Just wondering. Yeah, if you find a decent broker, you don't want to get kicked off for violating "restrictions" on Terms of Service (which might be unwritten). I use LMAX and definitely don't want to get booted off, since there's nothing else like it anywhere.
HyperScalper
Hyper,
Perhaps a dumb question; but how do you have an account with LMAX when they don't allow U.S. residents to have an account?
No, man, that's a good question. I can't do it as a U.S. resident and, although I haven't tried yet, I also don't think I could do it even if I formed an offshore corporation, since they would see that I am a U.S. resident as a beneficiary (but I haven't researched that fully).
My solution: I am partnered with one of my German clients, and through his (offshore) company the account at LMAX is opened, so I am "employed" as the Trader and Technical Developer.
I'm not a Republican but if they would get rid of FATCA's burden on foreign brokerages so that we could legally get foreign brokerage accounts, then I'd hold my nose and vote for them. Having said that, there are some foreign brokerages like Sensus Capital who cheerfully accept U.S. persons. But neither LMAX nor Dukascopy is among those brokerages.
FATCA makes all of the rest of the world a bunch of proxies for the IRS, as I'm sure you know...and foreign brokerages don't want the grief.
BY THE WAY, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WILL BE UPSET if I reference this
forum posting. It is for the good of all U.S. Traders and is a great reference
for possibly finding a compliant and willing foreign brokerage:

Thank you. Interesting way to get past that issue. In my search for a decent U.S. Forex broker, I seem to be coming up short. Either the spreads and/or commissions seem ridiculous or the reviews of the broker's service sucks.
I have been trading a demo account with FXCM and I've been satisfied with my method to produce daily income and their tools/execution. But the spreads are high by comparison to others and I've taken a scalping approach to the trading, so I need tight spreads and low costs per trade.The search continues.
Thanks again!

Hey, man, I feel your pain and frustration. I may have mentioned I'm a U.S. person as well, and the only way I get access to these Euro Brokerages like Dukascopy and LMAX is by partnership with my German ex-client, in kicking off our own proprietary trading operation.
Now, I'm not sure of the details, but I'd suggest you contact Sensus Capital they are very open about accepting U.S. clients and, although this is not specifically my area of expertise, they also offer MetaTrader and I think it's a "tight" integration.
If you explore in more detail, please post back to the rest of us. But they are a high quality, client friendly brokerage and my German business partner has worked with them for several years. We "copy" trades into their MetaTrader interface from Dukascopy JForex robots into Sensus PAMM accounts he manages. Sensus Capital is rock solid, and U.S. friendly and compliant. Anyway, like I said, I don't know all the details but it's my suggestion.
I believe my partner said that Sensus is also a Liquidity Provider to LMAX, so they are a solid operation. Not sure how they handle the FIFO crap, but that should not restrict your trading sequences; rather, that is a "back office" calculation for NFA compliance. Heck, even MB Trading does that right as a back office calculation, last time I checked. But I digress.....
[Edit: I'm seriously considering doing some Sensus Capital work once other development issues are resolved, and as a U.S. client. I see here in their trading guide that intra-currency-pair Hedging is supported with their MT4 platform, and 1k minimum trade sizes, 1k Euro minimum equivalent funding, so sounds exciting for smaller traders as well. This means you are not FIFO restricted at the Order Entry level, but that your statements will probably be FIFO-ized...

I'm eventually going to use their FIX API but that's a few months off, once we do the same thing with LMAX... work never stops ! ]

i thought fxcm had tightened their spreads recently. Are you finding otherwise?
Axitrader, GlobalPrime, IC Markets, CityIndex, CLMforex, Lmax, Synergy FX or Armada? All these brokers seem to be ok. Are they really ECN and do you think they are fine for scalping trading? Anybody used these brokers and were happy with them?
I have accounts with four of the brokers you mention above and I'm very happy with all of them. The combined spreads and commissions are low enough to facilitate scalping. One thing I keep meaning to watch is swap charges. If the end of day processing catches me in the middle of a quick scalp, the swap charges can eat into the profits or even cause a small loss.
I was mostly using Armada until they transferred their retail business to Tickmill. I haven't had enough experience with Tickmill to comment yet, but so far it looks good.
Global Prime has also been good, but their $500 minimum account size puts off some of the smaller traders and their commissions are higher than Tickmill.
I have had some order fill disputes with some of the brokers you mention and avoid trading with them on "big news" days.
perhaps the best time to boost your pips gain are during news event, we may found many article said dont trade during news event, in my opinion it's a discourage words comes from brokers company who cant 'handle' market price volatility during news event. while actually we can got more pips by price action strategies only, but first we have to make sure brokers has trading condition able to handle such event, i've found my account with Tickmill are best fit during news event trading activity. typically no spread improvement during news release, and the entry order are accept accordingly.
