There is NO volume for forex since it's not traded on an exchange. Even the volume of the forex futures that are traded on the CME is irrelevant since you don't get all the volume, just the volume traded in the futures, which is a very small portion of overall forex volume.

Don't get me even started with FXCM
No professional trader would trade spot forex through any of these retail brokers, including MBTrading, which is the best of those (FXCM is the worst, btw). If you really want to trade forex, trade the forex futures, unless you won't to get fucked by your broker.
I thought MB gave direct access to most of the interbank networks and you just pay a regular commission?
