Using my own EA and so far getting best results on this broker compared to other 4 brokers I'm trading with. Never had any problem with withdrawing profits, so all good for me.

Stay away from this broker.
I started trading micro account with them, and for a month everything was fine. But I made 400% and after that strange things started to happend. They started to give me huge slippages, although for a month I had 0 slippages.
They just started to cheat me and trade against me that's what they do.

I don't know much about forex, but I'm more than happy with IamFX.
I use EA & I'm really pleased with the broker.
The best thing is that they provide free VPS !
But there are some rules to follow.

I am working with him from last 6 month and we are very pleased with them. They support us whenever we needed.

Correct. Thank you for pointing that out.
Sunspot Capital Corp. - the custodian of IamFX - was registered with SEC as an Investment Advisor Firm.
However, if you perform a check now:
www.adviserinfo.sec.gov/IAPD/Content/Search/iapd_Search.aspx

it says: "This investment adviser [Sunspot Capital Corp.] is no longer registered with the SEC and is not required to update its Form ADV. The information shown is for historical purposes and you should not presume it is currently accurate".

Regulated by the SEC? What are you talking about???

Quote from IamFX rep: "IamFX Inc. is registered in Panama and we use Gallant Capital Markets, Ltd. ("GCM") for execution - a British Virgin Islands based Broker Dealer and registering under SIBA with the BVI Financial Services Commission ("FSC")"

They also no longer accept US citizens. Thanks Frank-Dodd!!!

Opened a trade with an EA set to move my SL into profit as the price went in my favor, which it did. once the rally retraced and hit my SL (57 pips into profit on 2 full lots) the EA closed my positions against the set SL. iAm deducted the gains as losses from my account because it was a SL that closed the trade and not a TP even though the trade was in profit. Run far from these clowns. Trying to get their bafoonery reversed so I can withdraw my funds.

To Tam, at the bottom of this thread:
iamfx is not wrong. You are. You just don't understand what a VPS is, and, to be fair to you, iamfx doesn't know how to explain it very well.
The way they are doing this is to give you access to the full version of Metatrader through a browser, whether on another desktop or your mobile phone. It is the same application that you are using on your desktop or laptop. It is no different in any way. This is not the same as using browser-based trading software as with forex.com and others. Again, this is the complete Metatrader.
Also, as iamfx said, it is better than Metatrader mobile. Metatrader Mobile is limited in many ways. For example, you cannot use any custom indicators, and you cannot use any expert advisors.
However, to be fair, iamfx no longer offers a free VPS. They charge a lot if you do not trade a minimum amount each month and have a minimum amount in your account. Actually, it would be much cheaper and give you greater versatility to get a normal Windows VPS and install Metatrader if you needed that kind of remote access, though you need to be fairly computer literate to set this up and make it work for you.
As to their support, I agree with you. It is not great. However, since they have just about the lowest commissions (you or the brokers can call it anything you want, but it is still a commission--money out of your pocket and into theirs) than just about any other broker out there. Sure forex.com has better support. They will also take more than twice the commission as iamfx.
I'm staying with iamfx.

RUN, RUN, RUN - this brokerage is not only a mess to deal with, but they will tell you conflicting things with their written policies. That is if you catch them, at their none existent customer support. They make it very apparent they do not care about their customers.

Just to clarify the VPS charge as Malcolm, Australia pointed out.

I too was charged $35 but that was because I had forgotten to cancel it and had not used it for 30 days. They do tell you about this when you open a VPS account so I couldn't complain as it was my own fault.

I have had some problems with support but to be fair that was mostly down to my lack of technical experience as I am far from being very computer literate. I am trading manually from my PC and now that I have got the hang of everything it is all working fine.

I thought the best way to test if the spreads / commissions are competitive would be to place the same trades with a rival brokers demo account and so far I have not found a better one. I have only tried Alpari and FXCM up to now and IamFX pays better by around 30%!

I have not yet tried to take any money out as I am building up my bank. Hence the 4 stars so far.

I would not recommend this broker. Big slippage, spreads not as tight when trading live. You loose $25 whenever you deposit funds into their account and now I have just recieved an email saying they are deducting $35 from my account for the VPS Fee. This is a service they promote as being free!!!! You just cant trust them.

Don't use this broker

They have really bad support

Sometimes you have difficult to connect the broker, and sometimes your account becomes invalid - so you can't trade.

They never answer in their support line , and they don't have any physical address to the offices, they just use some virtual address they bought.

Don't put your hard working money in this broker - don't do the mistake I did.

I just need to pray now they will let me to take my money out
