As a full-time trader, I require my counterparty to have my limits and stops executed on all/normal market conditions, consistent uptime on the trading platform, and most importantly, a company that I can rely on when I put in a larger deposit into them. They have fulfiled this criteria. Also, Dukascopy is an ECN and they are not a market maker.

A leverage they offer is too small! This broker can do for a start, but later you should better switch to a more serious company.

I give my full recommendation to go with Dukascopy. I am pleased with the trading and executions. I see spreads on the pairs I trade often below one pip And I see market depth. Out of that I created good strategy, which gives me perfect forecast for next half minute.

I’ve been trading at them for half year. And since then I had no big problems, all other was fastly resolved by Dukascopy support. Yes, the technology they use is quite difficult, but after few days you can enjoy the data that is available. Dukascopy is a professional company, with great market execution.

I Like Dukascopy!
