I am curious to know what others think of the following.
Are there some brokers who meet the following criteria.
1. Are not a bucket shop, have the backing of or a reputable parent company.
2. operate out of a jurisdiction with good governance such as ASIC, Switzerland etc.
3. Offer leverage of 100/1 or above on Forex, and good leverage on other instruments. (so that excludes EU and currently the UK brokers due to the ridiculous 'miffy' regulations.)
4. Allows CFD's
5. Is open to USA residents as well as rest of world.
Would be nice: Options
Would be nice: A good range of markets such as IG index but that may be asking for too much.
(5) might be a tall order too so, there maybe two answers, one for US residents and one for rest of world.
Please all let me know your ideas. Thank you.
