This is from my experience after using various brokers, and from what I see so far, they are better (I never said they are the ultimate retail broker). I'm not a big gunslinging size trader compared to the institute so I can't say if they can handle size. So trading a few standard size contracts don't pose a problem for me during rush hour. The contracts execute fairly quick.

I'm aware that EFX has a guy out there on the forums educating or jawboning like you say to differentiate themselves from the no-commission brokers. I'd rather take the comms to the spread they offer. There's a level II on MBT where you can see the size a few levels on each side, so it look like the real market to me, I place an order, and I can my order on the Level II right away. FXCM and others only offer the spread quotes the last time I dropped them. They have more than others for me at the moment. If there are others out there that can offer more, let me know, I'm always looking out for new improved platform.

I don't promote or condemn any brokers, just my personal observation and opinion and I mentioned earlier, just try them all and see for yourself and don't take my word as the truth because the truth is only what each person sees it.
