    I find Dukascopy has tight spreads and offer bank guarantee for larger account.

    I trade news and want to know if you can give me advice about this broker.

    Thanks in advance.

    Dukascopy has two separate businesses.
    One is as broker/market maker (www.dukascopy.com).
    The other is research & software development (www.dukascopy.net).

    Unil last year, the reaserch division also operated as a market maker, but with small accounts (only 500USD required to open).

    I had one of these accouts until they closed the shop and moved all trading related services to www.dukascopy.com.. I decided not to trade with them anymore since the amount required to open an interbank account is 50000USD (and really this is the interesting part of their offer since a normal account can be get from any other market maker).

    See the following thread in the forum for more info:
