Been lookin for a ECN broker that takes US customers. The pickins are gettin slender for us from the states. I currently utilize oanda(reside acct) and really have nothing ill to say about these except for reduced leverage and extreme spreads through news, though they are MM was wonderin if ECN is better option

Found a few but would love to have input on who you folks use. This list would be the brokers I found that nevertheless take US customers. All these are my findings so far. Any input is useful

MB trading - (demo) so much implementation speeds dont seem as fast as oanda and spreads are about the same(or even higher also theres commision, also at @5pm est appears they just shut down and no transactions or orders can be executed(needed a TP hit at 5 but never got credit for this, would've been pissed when it had been live acct)

FXCM - (demonion ) spreads are great, implementation fast, wide spreads during news(seems like thats the standard for many brokers) horrible reputation, commisions are high @$8 per turn, not sure if authentic ecn, biggest concern is that the constant penalties and negative feedback

Forex Broker Inc-(demo) off-shore unregulated, claim to be ecn but spreads appear way to high, generally higher than the preceding brokers also theres commision (prob off my top list since the demo hasnt done anything to impress me)

Sensus Capital- (demo) so far this has been the 1 which has impressed me, though its a german company its regulated (germany and malta) leverage around 500-1
recorded as ecn, the implementation rate has been very fast, spreads are tight(consuming diff spread egies uncooked comm, or just spread) that the commision is high @ $10 per turn but cant really find any comments on the company, if anybody has or is doing business with this broker I'd love to hear it good or poor

BTW these are all MT4 demos(not sure if that matters or not)
Well thats my short list, in case you include some to this listing or can remark on the brokers recorded dont return. knowledge is power
