Once a thief, always a thief, keep well away from this broker. Infact, keep away from any'broker' that has paid fines for execution clinics and other shenanigans.

well, had a return and this is my equity curve. I have tired as evident from pic and was pleased to have a job https://forexintuitive.com/attachments/1528014806.jpg this was in my 7th year of gambling.

Virtually every major broker has paid a good sooner or later. The simple fact that somebody hasn't been fined is more likely a sign that they are new to the industry or too little to be relevant.

Is the Gain GTX ECN platform readily available to larger retail customers or just ECPs?

I have an account with forex.com UK, MT4 account. So far no complaint.
bank transfer withdrawal in 3 working days. London session Spread EurUsd 1.8. Execution is great.
Maybe not best broker, but I believe good broker with FSA regulated.
