I just read a fraud warning against this broker on Elitetrader from a trader called James, which said that they have stolen all his money. I think the broker is connected with www.forex-swiss.com, because they offer the same 2 pips spreads on all pairs.

Well, they are connected, because www.fxtrader.net recommends www.forex-swiss.com on their website.

I agree with you JonnyT. I have used interactive brokers and I have no problem with them. To be honest anything between 2-3 pips is fine. Focus on being successful and not the pips.
Do you use interactive Brokers software directly or do you use another application?

Interesting I dont know about stories I have used it and I have had no problems with them . I have even called them up and they were quite good as well.
It depends on what you are looking for I guess. OandA offer 2pips for Eur and 3 for cable but one of my gripes with them is. the spreads friday to sunday night but with this you can at least close your positions if anything happens unlike some who say they are 24hrs and are not.
So you have to weigh out what you are looking for.

If you read www.elitetrader.com you can find some very negative comments about the service from IB. Some love them, some hate them...

Baruch... any truth in the rumour you are the artist formerly known as Livermore ?

Never been asked to leave, but a certain S/B firm that begins with IG and ends in Index, stopped filling me on Light Sweet Crude, after I was consistently making 100+ pips per day (at decent size) during the bull run from $40 pb to $55 pb. They never admitted it of course, but I was told that my account was being "assessed".
I then went on to give pretty much half of the gains back (you know how it is, when you go on a winning run, you think you are invincible) anyway and havent used them since. Their spreads are ridiculous anyway (8 pips on Cable! 16 on Light Sweet Crude!)
