I did a bit of research, read a couple of reviews at
forexpeacearmy
and
currencysecrets.
I suppose both hotspot and dukascopy are good brokers with pros and cons respectively but would have to find out myself by trying their demo accounts to get the complete picture.
I am just exploring my options here, I'll stay with MB FX for some time for sure until I've got enough experience paper trading.
For scalping though commissions, spreads and slippage can make or break a system.
Hope you're all enjoy your vacation, see you next year.
