I am a client of Dukascopy since FEB 2010. During all these months, I have experienced very good spreads (0.5-1.5pip for EUR). In addition, their execution was of lightning speed and flawless. When i use market orders, I experienced 0 to 0.5 pips of slippage, thanks to their slippage control. Their customer service was good and showed a great deal of patience to solve my problems when i contacted them through skype.
I seriously recommend this broker to novice and professional traders alike. Do not be duped by other US bucket shop brokers again.
however, akin to a double edged sword, this broker have its disadvantages as well. One major problem was their commissions. their commission is a little higher than other ECN brokers (USD 32/million traded for a USD 10,000 deposit)= USD 8.50 in and out. Fortunately, I was aware of a introducing agent which offers me rebates of 45% off my commissions generated monthly.
Hence, I hope that dukascopy will lower their commissions further to remain competitive in the retail FX market.
