what I noticed from the fibogroup website was:

"GUARANTEED FILLS on stop-loss, take profit, limit and market orders in all market conditions"

it sounds like they even mean during fundamental announcements!... there are precious few brokers who will guarantee no slippage at those times

hey I wonder if any of you guys have used the moneytec "strategy builder" which is MT 3.85 I think.. is it any good?

Do any brokers use MT4 yet?

Ok, actually I found:

"Order quotation and fulfillment in a highly volatile market

Rapid changes normally occur in the market after release of important macroeconomic parameters, economic or political news of in case of force majeure events. In this case, spread may be slightly widened, and a dealer has the right to change the price and to suggest that a transaction should be entered into at a new price but orders are fulfilled in strict conformity with stated prices."

So I guess it is not shangri-la after all...

Anyway, don't believe brokers who say "GUARANTEED FILLS on stop-loss, take profit, limit and market orders in all market conditions."

I'd have to say InterbankFX is my favorite. Haven't tried anyone else, but so far no reason to. Good execution, nice spreads (they plan to drop the 1 pip commission by summer's end), and good customer support.

Excuse-me, you are all right, they said they are associated with fxdd.
