Scalping results appear to be very poor with ICM. Do you know anyone else using them and getting better results? I was considering funding an account, but seeing these results I am seriously reconsidering.

On DF forum, it seems most people made cash with MDP and I certainly made a little cash with No1 and NMI, though should have been more.

Jon,


Any news on the slippage you are getting with IC? Is it potentially to do with VPS and server location?

I have my account opened, but after seeing the slippage you are facing with SS (did you stop No1)? I am scared to fund with live cash.

I am getting excellent execution times with Beeks NY4 vps on IC Markets so that's not a contributing factor.
I only trade MDP and NMI SS on IC Markets as my NO1 licences are being used on other brokers.


IC Markets True ECN account is working fine in every respect apart from what I see as excess slippage on HFT trades.
I have made them aware of this and hope IC will take steps to reduce slippage to a level we see and expect on Axi Pro ECN.

If you want zero stop level and can tolerate occasional excessive slippage go for IC Markets True ECN account.

If a 2 pip stop level is acceptable for your trading style and you want the minimal sliipage I have seen anywhere go for Axi Pro ECN account.

Why such a big lose today? Slippage too high ?
Better to lose an oportunity than a money

Yes got slipped badly last night. I have let IC Markets know about this and will discontinue trading on IC Markets until the issue is resolved.
For my money....Axi Pro ECN cannot be beaten, even with the 2 pip stop!
