    I am having a look at AC Markets.

    Can anyone give me some feedback.

    I know that Refco had a minor holding in them........

    I am interested in Guaranteed fills and no requotes at all times.

    Also 2 pip Euro spread if you deposit initially $50K.

    Here is their sales pitch:

    2-3 pip spreads on all the major currency pairs. Namely EURUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, GBPUSD.
