DUKASCOPY or MB TRADING ???

Hi everyone, im stuck between 2 ECN's . I like Dukascopy for 1 reason, they allow you to open an acc in any of the 7 major currencies whilst MBtrading is only in US$. l personally want to have an acc in pounds since im based in London, at least the rate of exchange wouldnt kill me unless ive lost in as many trades.

one other thing attracting me is the 45% rebate on commissions when you use a molecule6 as IB when opening a Dukascopy acc.

i dont know much about MBTrading so anyone out there with any info that might help me or anyone in the near future i will appreciate.

regards

Choose Duka and molecule6. You will have good support from Andre owner of molecule. It is also better to open an account in your own currencie.

It is the best broker i used so far

"one other thing attracting me is the 45% rebate on commissions when you use a molecule6 as IB when opening a Dukascopy acc."

does this hold true all the way up the commission scale they have on their site?

Thanks to Dragon and Es/Pip.

To Es/Pip , if i understood you correctly and to answer that, ive just searched their site again and it says:

Dukas pays Molecule to promote them and Molecule gives the trader 45% back. The rebates are automatically picked by Dukas from Molecule and deposited straight into a traders account every month.

So personally i think if one makes a decision to join them based on that, you probably dont have anything to lose because if you dont get , you look elsewhere better.

what do you think?

Thanks for joining in Tmanbone, im using the JForex demo , hard to switch if you're quite used to mt4 but hopefully will get the hang of it soon.

what are you using at the moment?

Is it Jtrader or Jforex? One of those, the demo is only 14 days, but they told me to download and demo as many times as I liked. I think they are looking for customers, they're down to 1k for account opening minimum. Since I first downloaded they call every couple of weeks. Who/what is molecule6? I've got three accounts ThinkorSwim, MBT, and FXCM
