Yeah, I just checked your spreads again it is really is low like everyone else. I was seeing EURUSD averaging 0.6 to 0.8 like everyone else. I guess you guys are working on your site still. I apologize but the spreads I was seeing before were really high. Looks like a decent company.

Regarding spread: We offer direct market access and don't manipulate pricing on any level, in comparison with other brokers who filter pricing and offer fixed, static spreads regardless of market conditions.

I registered with them because they have a $4 round turn promotion for their ECN commission but I have a lot of questions about them.
#1 Their spreads: Like a lot of people have mentioned their spreads seem high. They claim to have some deep bank liquidity access yet I compared it with Alpari Russia's ECN. Alpari typically had spreads that were 20%-50% lower (I kept looking at it over the course of about 5 minutes during normal market hours). I watched about 5 pairs as examples and it was consistent across the board. EURUSD for instance had about a 1.10-1.30 on average while alpari during the same period had a spread of 0.6-0.8. Considering the EURUSD has the lowest spread of any pair I can't see how they claim to have spreads as low as 0.1. I can't see that ever being a possibility. But then again I've only watched the spreads on their site for a few minutes. Also I should note I did find many pairs that had identical spreads.
#2 False advertising regarding instruments: They claim on their site that you can trade indices and stocks yet loading the platform it's missing. I guess this is because of the account type but on their site they don't specify that you have access to less instruments based on certain account types. Also if you click to find what instruments they have for indices & stocks it doesn't even work (goes to a page error). How does a site like this have such oversight that your main links don't even work? It's a scary sign.
I hope they don't flag me for criticizing their platform but these are legitimate concerns. In particular the spreads problem is a very very big one. Every ECN broker that charges a commission has spreads on the euro of 0.8 or less during normal market hours (the ones with big bank liquidity providers). I have more than a hard time believing that their access gets them such high spreads. I'm really wondering if they don't pad the spread from time to time to make extra money?

The spread runing on your site look better than in my MT4 Demo.
You need to improve your Demo quotes in my opinion.

Dear Trader,
Please note that you can view live spreads from our Live environment here: https://maxfx.com/
The widget towards the bottom of the page is in real time and streams directly from our live servers.
Regarding Spread and News: During big news, such as NFP, there is market volatility which causes major price fluctuations. MaxFX does not interfere with the LP pricing on any level.

All comments are old now.....
Can a live customer give us information about their spread now ?
In my Demo MT4 (opened yesterday) the spreads are HORRIBLE !
Especially before the news but also AFTER the news. With a real broker they go back to normal (1-4 pip) just seconds after the news.
With MaxFX they NEVER go that low, but stay at 5 POINTS (50 Pips !) for EUR !!!! Other pairs are WORSE.
This is UNACCEPTABLE !
What is the picture on a Live account ?

forexrival:
We are a fully regulated broker as evident by our license, just head to www.maxfx.com, it won't take you long to see our license disclaimer everywhere on the site.
PavelF:
We skipped answering back to you here as our support team already replied to you via email.
MAHETradingFX:
We actually switched everyone to far more better conditions: Raw interbank spreads from 0.1 and even better execution for both platforms.

Hello, I have some questions for Steve or someone who traded already with bonus+deposit.
I have 10K GBP on my MaxFX no deposit account as credit.
If I deposit 200, it will be shown as balance, and 10,200 equity right?
1)Is this equity going to be fully tradable? For example if I close a trade with +1K profit, will balance become 1,200 and credit still 10,000 or balance still 200 and credit become 11,000?(apart from 1lot per 2$ calculations)
2)Another example, if I close a negative -1k trade, what will happen? Zero balance and 9200 credit or 200 balance and 9,000 credit.What is deducted first?
And if balance is deducted first and it become zero, what if I then made a +2K trade will it become 1,200 balance and 10,000 credit?Or how does it work…
3)About 1lot per 2$. Does it count only deposited money as lots converted or the whole account equity is able to generate counted lots?
I’m asking because I have a bad feeling about this broker, as I found only negative posts about it.
Overall
These guys are a scam, made $1200 from the $100 no deposit bonus only to lose them while actively trading!!! They claim that the credit is part of one's equity and completely tradable, but once my losses went below the balance I had with them, they withdrew the $1200 I had made, leaving me with negative margin. What is painful is that I am the one who had made the money and yet I couldn't trade it afterwards.

Service ist schlecht. Ich hatte ein neues Live Konto mit myfxbook Konditionen eröffnet. Dann kam eine eMail das mein Konto auf Professional MAX umgestellt wird. Die Konditionen sind viel schlechter. So nicht...

My account is working again, they had some issues over the weekend only, took them about 3 days to awenser my email, but I sent it on a saturday wich makes 3 days respons time ok. No other issues.
Overall
Still, terminating accounts just because they have profits or speak out against you makes you lose any iota of credibility.
Moreover, we all know that you guys have been writing fake positive reviews on the front page of your broker review page here. Unscrupulous broker.
Overall
