IB's platform is more like a wholesale platform than a retail. You pay brokerage but you can bid and offer inside the spreads.
GM and MF charge no brokerage but they will make money from the spread.
Wholesale platforms generally are good for liquidity EXCEPT when there is data or news out then you have a problem.
Market makers on the other hand supposedly have better liquidity when news etc occur.
Suggestion: if you can afford it have 2 brokers..
The most important element in forex trading is liquidity and relying on one provider your at risk from the start.
Its different from shares as there is no central exchange.
Fact: The wholesale traders use a multitude of brokers and liquidity providers.
还没全理解，大概的意思好像是IB可以提供更好的流动性，不通过spread赚钱，但是收brokerage。
这句没理解：Wholesale platforms: "when there is data or news out then you have a problem."， WHY?
另外，forex trading no central exchange这个以前不知道，看来还有不少要研究

另外一些评论：
IG were hedging around 30% of their positions, CMC were hedging none, and hence were assuming 100% of the risk and payout. With this in mind, for a CFD trader to be successful, they would be taking money directly from the coffers of CMC or IG.
two kinds of providers: providers which made their money from the fees and interest (hedged all their positions), and providers ( hedged part of their positions) who makes their money from the trader losing
我理解是providers which made their money from the fees and interest (hedged all their positions)，应该是有利于trader，IB应该是这类
IG和CMC都是hedged part of their positions，所以他们的部分收入从trader的失误来，相当于和trader对赌，同时交易容易产生slippage
不知道是不是这样？
