Forex Brokers Update — June 9th, 2013

This week has brought one new broker:
Alpha Trading — a shady company of obscure origin. The broker offers MetaTrader 4 accounts starting from $1,000 and provides floating spreads that are rather low. Despite the high minimum account size, micro-trading is enabled. Only Forex instruments (and not too many of them) are available with Alpha Trading.
