Their speciality is their price feeds, which come from inter-bank sources, and consequently reckoned to be extremely accurate. I wouldn’t know if they were indeed accurate, because when you trade you tend to simply assume that the prices shown to you are the latest and accurate stuff. You don’t tend to think otherwise. Spreads I am sure were very tight, in the 2-3 pips range for both majors and their crosses. I was trying out all this from the demo and I pretty impressed with the low trading sizes and low margin rates as well in the range of 1%. Didn’t notice any hanky panky in times of market fluctuation, as I always got stable margin rate. I found the platform technically solid in that it allows you to trade 48 spot forex currencies, gold, silver and a lot more. The only hitch was I had to get Microsoft.Net Framework software first installed in my computer, before downloading and installing IFX Direct platform. And the only disadvantage if you ask me is, they levy a trading fee per 10,000 lot traded.

But very expensive as fee plus spreads means a lot.I would like to share comments with anyone who has used this platform for long. Solid glitch free platform and the service too.
