Found another guy's experience with them
I'm sending you my experience with SaxoBank so that other readers are warned before entering the pot so as to say...
Here's what occurred: I and my partners carefully read the Saxo customer trading agreement and tested the Saxo platform before opening a FX trading account. We identified areas of concern and were told in reply both by our Saxo sales rep and the account manager later assigned to us that the problems that concerned us would not materialize. In particular, we asked for assurance, and received it, that Saxo would not price discriminate against our positions and orders. The customer trading agreement -- in very fine print mind you -- allows Saxo to price currency pairs differently for different customers. That's a free pass for manipulation against the customer, and we knew that going in.
None of these promises and assurances were honored. When our profitable limit orders were breached by prices streamed to the platform, Saxo intervened against the orders and refused to honor them. It replied that the breaching prices were mistakes ("misquotes"), yet it never corrected its own charts to correct the so-called misquotes. It hardly could if it was stopping out at those prices other customers in positions opposite our side of the currency pair. In short, it collected from the losers (the stop losses) and welshed on the winners (our limit orders). And, by the way, our own stop orders always were filled instantly, which is to be expected since Saxo, as the house, profited from every stop. We opened a six-figure USD forex trading account with Saxo Bank after demo-trading the Saxo Trader for more than one year. After a successful first week of real-money trades, Saxo cheated us out of more than 12k USD by manipulating prices against our orders and refusing to fill profitable limit orders. The latter occurred three times, in each case after the limit price of the order was breached with room to spare. Saxo called the breaching prices “misquotes.” No misquotes on the demo ever. No misquote ever when a price hit one of our stops. Our stops were always filled instantly.
Also bear in mind that SaxoBank's so-called Danish regulator (Finanstilsynet, the Danish Financial Services Authority) will not provide Saxo customers with any information on Saxo. When we were burned, we contacted the regulator, informed it that were Saxo customers, and were told by it in reply that it could not disclose anything about Saxo. Nor do Danish banking laws apply to SaxoBank's forex dealing. Thus, like us, you will be without any protection at all when (not if) you are cheated.
The term ''approach with caution'' springs to mind....

The above is not my experience but a third party review

ppl can say anything...
Facts are
1. not cheap... maybe expensive but only for mini trades <10k $ orders some extra fees
2. no swap points over night/weekend
3. access to most futures with REALTIME data
4. Not friendly forex.... 1/2 lot minimum
thay are BANK and under danish fin. law so most of your monay are safe...
maybe you have better one with so many CFD and futures? maybe im gonna change em

Be fair - these are selective quotes from a 'moan about your broker' website. I don't see much evidence, or even facts in these grumbles. Anyone wants to post objective facts, fine, but forgive me if I ignore quotes along the lines of 'my broker ripped me off. Never trade with them'
Agreed - your first post gives concrete reasons why you found Saxo poor - just what a board like this is meant for. It's more the previous posting of unsubstantiated hearsay on a board devoted to whinges that I object to. It's not even particularly helpful.
hey guys, could you stop with the manipulating wona be facts,..the fact is, that the forex isnt as futures,...at futures they didnt manipalting with prices,..since they cant,...so if you play futures with them,..any kind,..they cant do anything about requotes,..i have made many many futures trades with them,...none was manipulated,..no matter if it was currency, oil, gold, or whatever, but for forex, we all know any broker can manipulate with quotes...especially if u win a lot,..so thos guys who actually talked over the internet that they wwere maniupalted, i dont believ a **** about that,..if they were really playing BIG money,...why didnt they play with futures,..it is controlled, and u can get your quotes from i dont which asociation,..but i know that if u wont it can be done,..so if u play big,...then play big, in smart way...

their platform sounded so promising, at the moment i use IG for CFDs but heard i could trade everything with Saxo so was considering using them, very disappointed to read this thread about them. Glad i read this sooner rather than later.
Order 90261972 should not be triggered.
You called us to report this error. My colleague in Demark called you and informed you that we would cancel the position for you due to our fault on this. We did so. (Refer to above.)
Please note, we don’t provide phone record for clients. And, it is always clients’ decision if want to keep position over weekend or not. You didn’t give our dealers any instructions on the remaining open short position.
We are sorry for the wrong filled (for order 90261972) and we have revised for you asap.
Please feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Thank you and have a nice day!
Yours Sincerely

i guess when something is too good to be true it usually is, a jack of all trades platform. I am just surprised, I thought a big Company like Saxo would be more honourable with thier trades. thanks for your input

Hi guys
So if Saxobank is a bit dodgey...which online broker do people recommend for trading commodity ETF's and spot gold/silver?

Richard

SAXO is... just read their general business terms:
http://www.saxobank.com/site/open_account/Documents/General%20Business%20Terms%20ENG.pdf
Read 5.12
And you will see that these guys may TAKE all your profits just provided that it was error in their system I am sure they will never let any client to get really good profit. They always will do this 5.12 from their general business terms and it is completely legally from Danish side
And i am 100% sure they are bucket shop...
By the way, in Demo account in Saxotrader one of my friend quickly got +50% profit and asked them to check if everything was correct. They confirmed. When he put 100K usd in his real account and made +30% profit with the same strategy as in demo, they cut all profits and returned him only his deposit...again they refered to 5.12 from their "general business terms"
He was sure they just used his strategy on real market and get his money instead of him...

These guys SAXO should be put out of business. They are sooooo dodgy,
I have used two accounts with SAXO. one a demo and the other a mirror of the demo, and guess what i was winning on the demo and lossing on the Livr with exactly the same positions...
I know this thing... I also used two accounts Demo and Real. Same situation as you had. They always random raised spreads and you always in loss... if you get good profit they almost 100% will do 5.12 from general business terms
