I have been quite satisfied with IBFXau, however:
Recently their platform always stalled whenever there were fast price movements for a few minutes to 20 minutes (Not during data announcements, but even many hours after just like today Oct 7, 2011 between GMT 16. 10 and 16 25 hr for about 15 minutes and price gap of over 70 pips on EURUSD during which I couldn't place any order to close my positions)
This stalling of platform occurred quite frequently which negatively affected my trading. If such situation doesn't improve then I may move my account to other brokers which didn't have such problems.

I have traded with other brokers, but IBFX is the best. Spreads are not the best, but they execute trades very quickly, no slippage and no rejects.

Bad broker. Stay away! Aside from terrible spreads, they are unethical. Best case scenario no matter what your strategy, you will break even. Using the same strategy with a different broker you will show immediate gains. Its almost impossible to make money with IBFX

This must be some kind of a joke with all of these 5 star ratings. I have been with IBFX from day one of my trading and over the years I have learned so many tricks that they pull. One of the best ones that has been going on for the last 7 months or so is IBFX platform will freeze durning news trading. I call and it is the same old story. (we are working on it) I have opend 2 other accounts with other brokers in the last 3 months and have had no problems with them. I can be in a trade with all three brokers and IBFX will always hit my stop loss when the other brokers will not. Over the last couple of months my accounts with my other brokers has grown while my IBFX account has not. After all these years of thinking I was doing something wrong with my trading and that was why I was not making money with my trading, I am finding out it is because of IBFX and all the dirty tricks they play. I will keep using them with my small micro account just so I can watch them and keep on top of all the dirty little tricks they play. Thank you IBFX for showing me that dark side of being a very, very bad broker. Check around all the other fourms on the net and you will see from all the other comments just how bad this broker really is.

The best broker over the web. Unfortunately I'm not able to begin an application with them because of the f*cking brazilian CVM restrictions. But as soon as I move to another country I hope to open a live account.

I have traded with 3 other online companies, so far this is the most satisfactory.
1. My live account with their Australia Company was approved/opened within the same day with ease.
2. After funding my account with a few hundred dollars, I applied for their Global Debit Card which was delivered to me by the 5th day on a Sunday.
3. Their 'secured client site' is very comprehensive and responsive.
4. Their MT 4 platform is good and fast for order placing and execution. The spread may not be the best but it's reasonably good within 2.0 - 2.5 pips for the EURUSD (a prudent broker should make some money after paying cost to their liquidity-providers)
5. They replied to all my questions clearly within hours.
6. I think they are efficient, professional and prudent. I am ready to deposit serious amount of fund into my account with them.

Your support in the USA office is in my opinion is the best that you can find they are willing to listen to your problem and then do their best to make things work right for you . I have not dealt with better than you have. Thank goodness for many times we run into the people that know it all and what you are saying about your problem just can not happen and trying to give you the impression that you are stupid od just plain dumb thank them for me Please

I read a lot of negative reviews for IBFX and many others, my question for those writing the negative reviews is, what kind of trading do you do??
I have had good luck with IBFX, so far and good luck with FXCM, and MG FOREX. If you trade using higher time frame's such as 4hour and up and throw out all of the junk indicators,EA's, robots and just trade from horizontal support/ resistance using price action, you should have no problem with any broker. You may also want to use a stoploss of 100+ pips and scale into and out of your positions.
You people lose due to how you trade! Stop news trading its not worth the risk... and blame your self for your failure, because it is you that is the problem.

No problems with broker, scalping and running EA. Spread is a problem, yes. Sometimes very wide. Customer support and live chat excellent. However, this year they deposited twice the amount from my credit card but notified me immediately and did the refund before I could reply. Just be careful and make sure about all transactions.

The latest NFA action adds credence to my warning in 2008... Alex Findlay
NFA fines Utah forex dealer member, Interbank FX LLC and its principal $225,000
July 30, Chicago – National Futures Association (NFA) has ordered Interbank FX LLC (Interbank) and its principal, Todd Crosland to jointly pay a fine of $225,000. Interbank is a Futures Commission Merchant and Forex Dealer Member of NFA, located in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Decision, issued by NFA’s Business Conduct Committee, is based on an NFA Complaint filed in July 2009 and settlement offers submitted by Interbank, Crosland and Amanda Albretsen, also a principal and former compliance director of Interbank.
The Committee found that Interbank, Crosland and Albretsen failed to implement its anti-money laundering (AML) program and failed to adequately supervise its electronic trading system. Additionally, the Committee found that Interbank, Crosland and Albretsen failed to adequately supervise the solicitation of non-Member solicitors who used deficient promotional material. The Committee also found that Crosland failed to supervise Interbank’s activities.
Interbank and Crosland must also submit to NFA within 180 days a final independent review of its electronic trading platforms conducted by an outside party to ensure that Interbank’s electronic trading platforms are in compliance with NFA requirements. The charges against Albretsen will remain open for one-year and will be dismissed if Albretsen is not charged by NFA for failure to supervise during the one-year period.
The complete text of the Complaint and Decision can be found on NFA’s website (www.nfa.futures.org)

Last year I received an unsolicited email from this Company with a link and note that they had opened an account for me and place $25.00 in it. What can you do with $25.00 in a trading account except add to it or loose it. I advised them that their email was in violation of the Federal Can Spam act that could subject them to a million dollar plus fine. They never responded I I did not persue it other than post a warning to be wary of trading with Interbank and or IBFX. They started posting reviews from Dubai but FX oir Forex trading in Dubai has increased over 500% last year. This is simply an update on my warning from 2008 to choose your broker carefully.
Sincerely
Alex Findlay.
PS: I am in Dubai and Interbank and IBFX has used the net quite well to limit limit damage and try to discredit my previous review, however this 2009 action by the NFA mirrors my 2008 comments. The only thing I would like to add is how does a quarter million dollar fine compensate all the IBFX Interbank victims. We need someone like the New York attorney General to fight for the small guys. I personally do not know any attorneys that are interested in claims of less than millions of dollars and that does not fit the profile of the average Forex Trader.
