I supplement my comments below. I was able to have probably the most honest conversation with an employee of any broker. I spoke with the senior admin guy here a few days ago and he told me EXTO is terrible for trading the news.

I have experienced this also. There are requotes for most of your trades and I am told by the company that their banks totally lock down at news times, preventing any trades, no matter how many requotes. I have used SNW to now avail with EXTO and even got 2 requotes as some times and still no fills! If you are a news trader, stay away, otherwise an OK platform.

2007-11-17 3 Stars I have a live account with these guys. Platform is well laid out and have one click execution. However, one click execution currently has no slippage control. I have seen requotes on one click trading using SNW. It gives you 5 seconds to accept the requoted price or it will drop off. I have not been able to get into big new releases using SNW so far. I will keep trying. The liquidity providers are very good, being Barclays Bank and UBS. Service is very good.

One major set back is the monstrous application form, about 12 pages!! Not only that, you have to mail a hard copy with a copy of a utility bill AND CERTIFIED ID !! Very Swiss broker for you though!

I have had accounts with a number of brokers, Exto has very good order fills, probably the best I've come across. Other brokers do offer tighter spreads but you can never deal on those prices..you keep "missing"them. I have yet to "miss" a price I've clicked on in more than 200 trades so far. Rates are not changed depending on your position as many other brokers do. Great charting service and good customer service
Only downsides are account opening is a little longwinded.
Overall highly recommended to newbies and experienced traders alike.

Have been trading with Exto since about a month. I am really satisfied; good conditions, fast execution and my orders are always filled. On the downside though, not the best during news and the opening process is a bit long (like all Swiss brokers I guess).

They have a nice platform and very good conditions

my previous broker used to freeze the trading platofrm, i'm happy with exto they don't do that and the spread is amazing ,, it's my say
