Quote from KingJedi:
IB, i've used them for a good while over the years.. good stuff, decent rates if you trade size which is why i use them.. front end could be better and of course forget the help desk.. they are mainly for people that know what they are doing.. also they are capped at 40:1 which honestly is still over kill
API is also free to use but you get charged extra with different rates depending on what your trading.. (they are a full broker)
Most of this old thread still applies

yeah, that's a good old thread
I've used ib for years, but have only been trading forex for about a year. I never bothered to learn how to use their fx trader. I like the old tws screen since I can set it up anyway I want and keep my eye on stocks and bonds and whatever else I am watching.
also , like the man said, I have never been charged double for crosses, that must be an old myth
as far as max order, as I understand it, there is no max, but over 5m (depending on currency) they will split it, it is all instantaneous
