Try the Australians...
Go Markets and IBFX AU comes to mind.
Go I've put hectic volumes through and never heard a word of complaint from them.

I have looked at over 20 ECN brokers and have come down to these ..
1. Pepperstone razor (0-0.5 pips + 0.75 pips com/lot , 1:400 lev)
2. Admiral Markets ( <1 pips + 0.4 pips com/lot , 1:100 lev)
3. Oanda (1.2 pips fixed , 1:50 lev)
4. ATC Brokers (<1 pips + 0.8pip com/lot , 1:200 lev)
NOW ofcourse I will distribute my Equity equally between the top 3 or 4 ... Cuz you can't put all your eggs in one basket.
However with your help I would like to rule out the unethical brokers, ones who have slow execution time, or that act unproffesionally.
So if you had a live account with one of these and are satisfied or dissatisfied please let us know ...

Take a look at www.fxintel.com for spread compare, unifx have very tight spreads only axitrader pro is better but it's the same like axitrader standard, the difference is 1 pips spread markups instead of 10$!! for the Pro account. A joke!
Is someone with Squared Financial and can say something about execution time? I heard pepperstone have a bad execution.

It seems to me the top ones are all pretty much the same. Anytime you go to a pro account with tighter spreads they charge a comm. to bring you right back to the same spread. One thing to watch for is do they charge to deposit and charge withdrawl fees.(Alpari charges this Hotforex not) That makes it expensive to move money around.

Keep in mind guys/girls, that with a system with tight stops, by having a much smaller spread, but paying the difference in commission, can mean you get stopped our less, as your spread is much tighter.
So even though you may be paying the same as standard for buy and sell on ECN with commission, you may be stopped out less on an occasional trade.

There are for sure many options. personally, I'd keep away from those offering ecn (allegedly) that have also dealing desk operation. It's a massive conflict of interest from their usual business activities.
For me, true stp with good liquidity or ecn is the only way. There are many many points you must consider if you scalap agressively and you must do your research properly.
Good luck
