OST offline again

Very disappointed that OST went down for a second time this week! Dangerous, and expensive, to trade ALSIs on an unreliable system.

dont trade ALSIs on SBK anymore, just too risky.
I havent found another broker that has had this much downtime.
Any other broker wouldve been bankrupt by now had they provided this kinda service.

Thanks. Who do you recommend?

Tough to say, because who I recommend isnt necessarily who Im with.

BOE seems to be great player for equities and CFDs.
Im with Peregrine atm for ALSI trading, due to circumstances, not bad but not great - all round still much better than SBK.
CFD trading is highly recommended with IG Markets
Alsi trading DWT is excellent so far, and Imara Ive heard is good.

Guess it depends what instruments your looking at buying.

but 2 tips I can suggest (especially since you mentioned ALSIs specifically):
1. Go for a broker that uses Swordfish, it is awesome!!
2. Dont go to IG Markets for ALSI trading, their forwards have massive costs, its not worth the 24 hour open market.
