I read through a few of the reviews posted about Dukas.
My guess is that most of the folks that feel frustrated, don't understand how a true ECN works. It's not like a US bucket shop. Instead, it's a small interbank were orders are matched up based on price and volume. If you are trading during slower market hours, the volume won't be there to fill your orders. Post news can be an issue too if liquidity pulls out - and that's usually what happens.
I've been using Dukas since May 2008 and they've been fantastic. Really the only option for larger account these days.
