Usually I trade during news and IVbrokers execution is fast, spreads are tight and my EA working properly because they don't have any restrictions for limit distance.
I received update recently from IV Brokers that they will also add Equinix London server. With the execution to New York Equinix server, the execution is fast and the EA performs very well. But I think that the Europe server will increase the execution speeds further. Happy with EA trading at IV Brokers so far.
I am money manager that has some investors, because I am trading with an EA and monitor the trading manually, I need a good ecn account with lowest and tight spreads. IV Brokers ECN account is a good option and the minimum deposit is very low which is important for my investors. I opened private pamm account here and performance of the account is good.
Hello, spreads depends heavily on your trading style, for example what instruments you trade, how often you trade, how long do you hold a position etc. If you want to find a broker that offers really low spreads (for your trading style), then I'd recommend check out the TradeProofer site (http://tradeproofer.com/) Their cost comparison method is very comprehensive detailed, includes spread, commissions, swap mark-ups and commission losses too, and you can even customize searches according to your trading style. And keep in mind, it doesn't really matter that others think which is a good broker, the main point is whether it's a good fit for you.
