Good Experience with a Good broker :)

[Michael Lotfi]

I have been trading with CMTrading for over almost a year. Without any problems so far. Mt4 trading platform is very convenient. Cmtrading offers all major forex pairs and pairs of crosses along with major stock indices and metals. It is more than enough for me.

I haven't any issues regarding funding and withdrawing. In fact, client's services have been very good. Deposit bonuses and Cash bonuses also are very nice and useful. I am going to stick with Cmtrading and with their current qualitative performance.

One of my fellows waited for his withdrawal of 1K one month before they processed it. Its unacceptable for a forex broker so steer clear. Better to work with regulated and reputable STP venue like Hotforex, their withdrawal processing time is 1-3 hrs max

I recommend checking out FP Markets, been trading with them for over a year now and their trading conditions are much better than similar ECN brokers (spreads, execution, commission etc.)

Another point in favor is their customer support, they have been genuinely helpful and have gone out of their way to help me out in a few scenarios. They are regulated by ASIC and operational since 2005, so definitely worth checking

Check out FP Markets, their spreads are lower and maximum leverage is 500:1, its an reliable broker with ASIC regulation.

FP Markets are in the forex business for over 12 years and their CFD offerings and pricing is better when compared with similar brokers.

Nice suggestion it is a great broker I use them together with Tickmill and Hotforex to get better execution and some insights from live spread comparisons.

Looking to join FP Markets so was looking for information on how much commission per lot does it charge.

What is the minimum trade size ? and do they offer any is there any hidden cost ?

Yeah, it's a great broker I've been using it along with Hotforex, I think they both provide excellent platforms for scalping.

Any suggestions with a good broker, i scalp mostly in majors so a broker that offer tight spreads preferably with ECN pricing.

[JudeDaniel]

I decided to open an account with FP Markets mainly based on positive reviews and the fact that they are regulated by ASIC.

I scalp with FP Markets Raw spreads account mainly as the minimum spread for trading EUR/USD is 0.0 pips which is lower compared to the rest of the competitors.

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.
