supertrader Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Find the information about the broker before you start via forums and google. Try to see how many positive reviews and negative reviews. See if they provide a good withdraw and have a minimum investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0r3x Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 You should verify the reputation of a broker before investing with it. Spreads, tax, swaps are also important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I value stability and customer service as the most important factors, that's why I stay with hotforex after many comparisons. however, I am still open to see whether there are good choices too. it really needs time to test.

reedconnor Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 It took me quite a long time to choose my broker. Few things that I look into: 1. fast execution, minimum or no slippage 2. reliable support team 3. minimum deposit (as I'm a small trader) 4. the presence of the broker in my country 5. social media presence (with no rubbish posts like stack of cash or money signs all over the Facebook page!) 6. most importantly it doesn't trade against you! (must be STP broker) These are just a few points that are important to me. There could be more things that you want to consider. Hence, I chose Fxprimus. I think they have what other brokers don't offer - educational approach, something like Babypis. You don't want a broker that can't wait to make you spend on them, you want a broker that spend their time and effort on you first before you are ready to start trading.

firmanta Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Maybe you can try Exness for trading =D Exness have a Cent Type Account and Mini Type Account. Leverage up to 1:2000 for Forex Mini and Forex Classic accounts with minimum floating spread. So I think it's very suitable for a scalpers. The others trading condition with Exness: 1. Instant execution & Market execution 2. Narrow spreads 3. Fast execution of orders 4. Working with electronic payment systems 5. Flexible margin requirements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yasefsami3 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hello, you can choose a decent broker by trying some that are well rated and reviewed by traders all over the net you will find a lot out there but only few will suit you ! you gotta try their demo accounts and see if they are good, also ask people in your entourage.

Kristianto Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 A good recommendation is to always try the free Demos first. All reputable brokers have got free Demo accounts for you to try. See if the platform suits you and you are comfortable with using it. I've been using Saxo for the longest time. No complaints so far.

CH_17 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 A good forex broker should be regulated by a known regulatory board like FSA, NFA. Check the broker's reputation, how big it is and how long is the organization's history. Also, you need to know how safe your money will be with your chosen broker. I have been trading with HY Markets for over 6 months now. I chose them because they offer their clients the "CLIENT MONEY PROTECTION POLICY" There is a 100% segregation of retail client funds with top-tier banks, transparent deposit and withdrawal policy. If you haven't found a broker to trade with, it's worth giving them a try. Mini account starts from $50. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniuwei Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 There's a similar question on another thread. So I just cut and paste my reply here: 1. How does your broker protect your funds? 2. Is their information security (IS) certified? Like for example, do they have ISO 27001 certification in IS? 3. Is the broker fully audited? 4. Is the broker a fully established company? 5. Have the broker receives any recognition or awards for their performance? 6. Is the brokerage platform that you are using is created by traders for traders? 7. Does the broker offer FREE professional coaching and traders tool? 8. Do they offer at least 60-day use of the Practice Account? 9. Fast application approval? Say like 24 hours? 10. Is it easy to fund your account? Do they offer many withdrawal options? 11. What is the minimum amount to open an account? As low as USD100? 12. Do they offer micro, mini and standard lot in a single account for your convenient sake? 13. Do they offer a lot of products, more than just Forex? Do they have metals, oils, commodities CFDs, major indexes and global equities? 14. Make sure they are not dealing desk so that they do not trade against you. If they are a Straight Through Processing (STP) broker, then that's the right one. 15. How is the execution like? You want a broker with absolutely no requotes and no slippage with tight spreads. 16. Do they offer high leverage? 17. Do they allow any kind of trading style including hedging? 18. Do they offer mobile platforms? Can you trade from your web browser? 20. Do they offer 24-hour customer support? Best with live chat. 21. Is your broker licensed and regulated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo88 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I think you can visit forex-ratings.com and read some review to get one broker. PLease try demo account before deciding the broker you would invest. Also payment method should charge low fee (or free) and support the most popular as CC, VISA/MASTER,PP, Skrill, LR,...

But, if you don't believe me, just try it yourself with a demo account first to feel all the advantages that Exness give for the traders.

limjackly Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Find out if your broker charges commissions. Many brokers do not charge commissions for most transactions, but there are some who want a commission on everything you do in the market. If you find that you are with one of these, it may be time to find a new one, to get away from shady business practices. http://forexcepat.com/indv1/biggrin.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
