We can trust ECN brokers however.

What they do to fight against succesful traders with EA.

1. Spread Size.
2. Disconnection errors.
3. OffQuotes/Requotes Errors. Especially exit offquote errors.

On ODL more than 240 traders have been banned, be carefull and ask their support if EAs are fully allowed.
That sounds Sooo illegal to me, any good lawyer would have a field day with this..

Anyways it's good to know, maybe we can start a thread to track the good from the bad.
