    Advantage of most fx brokers is that you can trade micro lots. If you have a lot of capital to begin with and you know what you doing go for spreadbetting. It is tax free in Ireland.

    thanks for that. Fxpro dont have a dealing desk so not at the other side of the trade, not market makers . Is the possible conflict of interest with spreadbetting a concern?
    Do you trade fx? if so with who. Thanks again
