What Broker Are You Using and Why?

Recommended Posts

I'm trading with HotForex, I know it through one friend's referral. I make profit consistently with this broker. That's the reason why I can keep trading with this broker over 9 months.

 

i had used their demo account for weeks but read some bad reviews about them on many forums and decided not to open a live account, that was years ago. How r they these days?

I use Admiral Markets for trading only one currency pair, the eurusd.........like their fast execution and low spreads, but most of it like the service and account funding/withdrawing process.......and I use Dukascopy in Switzerland for the other pairs, as the spread is significantly lower there........the major drawdown on Dukascopy is the fact that before the weekend, they automatically change the leverage.......but, funny thing, in time I discovered this helped me all the time.......another drawdown is communication there......in order to talk with somebody there, and actually solve a problem, you gotta have patience........and this chapter is something I am still working on

Interactive Brokers because it lets me trade pretty much any market in the world and being in a non-USA timezone that is important to me. Their commissions and spreads I would consider to be competitive. Their customer support and excessive regulation within the USA can be a major problem/headache.

 

I also use Oanda and have found them to be good.

 

With kind regards,

MK

I used TS. At first I thought they were expensive but with the Globex combo for 20$ / month I have access to most exchanges which I think nobody mention in here. I don't have to pay platform fees since their min requirement of trades I meet in a day. No commission for FOREX, 1$ per contract on futures ( I don't trade stocks) and much more it would take to much to write. Good luck, I hope I could help.

I'm using Excel Markets- for a couple of reasons - their support is great, and I'm nervous enough as it is (not entirely new, but not nearly clued-up on currency trading). I also got a $100 bonus for my (small) bankwire deposit - and their spreads tend to be competitive - but I'm open to persuasion if you think I can do better!

I am using profiforex, and I am yet to regret my decision to pitch with the broker. My reasons are; Easy to open a trading account in 2 minutes, one click deposits and withdrawals. Instant deposits with no commission, withdrawals in 24 hours (I get my money anytime I need it), No hidden charges. All the commissions and fees are clearly stated in "Trading conditions”. Secondly, profiforex offers me The fastest and fair execution, Lowest commission, Up to 1:500 leverage and a Fixed and variable spreads starting at 0.1 pips

Yes, I'm also using HotForex at this moment. I'm pretty satisfied with the service and I haven't had any issue so far either.

 

Hi FxFive,

 

What type of account do you have with them and what pairs are you trading? Looking for feedback of live testing of their zero spread account. Would really appreciate any input on this matter.;)

Since the last 3 years, I was actively trading with Amarkets. When I was a new comer with them, I used to start with demo account which really help me to understand some aspects of trading forex market. After I get familiar then only I open the real account, and decided to join forex clases at least to learn from professional traders which mostly experienced more than 10 years in forex. Until now, I keep on trading with Amarkets, and if I faced some losses I will keep trade with this broker because he gives me all what i need for comfortable trading.

    • Date: 24th April 2024. Market News – Stock markets strengthen as tech rally widens. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The bulls are back in town for now. Wall Street climbed, led by tech and especially the Magnificent 7 — all cohorts rallied, even Tesla which broke a 7-session losing streak even as its earnings news was awaited. US: The weaker than expected PMI data from S&P Global was the excuse needed to underpin a short covering rally in Treasuries after the big selloff in April. Record US Auction boosted demand! A well bid 2-year sale also added to the gains in Treasuries, while signs of future price pressures saw the long end underperform. Demand petered out into the finish, however, especially with the surge on Wall Street, and yields edged off their lows. Australia: The hot inflation print pointed to sticky local price pressures and reinforced the case for the RBA to hold rates at a 12-year high. The CPI rose to 3.6% y/y VS 3.5% estimate, while core CPI rose 4%, also higher than forecast and well above the RBA’s 2-3% target. Japan: Strong warning for intervention by officials. The BoJ is widely expected on Friday to leave policy settings & bond purchase amounts unchanged. NEW YORK (AP) — The Biden administration has finalized a new rule set to make millions more salaried workers eligible for overtime pay in the US. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex slumped, falling to 105.39 largely on profit taking and as haven demand faded. USDJPY flirts with 155 after FM Suzuki issued the strongest warning to date on the chance of intervention, saying last week’s meeting with US and South Korean counterparts had laid the groundwork for Tokyo to act against excessive Yen moves. AUDUSD up for a 3rd day in a row, to 0.6528 amid a broadly weaker USD but also a strong Aussie post a hot inflation print. USOIL steady at $83 ahead of sanctions against Iran and shrinking US Inventories. Gold closed slightly lower at $2332, but off yesterday’s $2289 nadir. Market Trends:   The NASDAQ increased 1.59%, with the S&P500 up 1.20%, while the Dow rallied 0.69%. Dissipating geopolitical risks also supported. EU stock futures are posting gains, after a largely stronger close across Asia. Nikkei and Hang Seng gained more than 2% amid a strengthening tech rally. Australian shares underperformed. Tesla Inc. (+13.33% after hours) spiked after its statement for the launch of more affordable vehicles despite a sales miss. The stock halted a 7-day plunge, climbing alongside other members of the group. Microsoft Corp., Meta Platforms Inc. and Alphabet Inc. are also due to report earnings this week. Profits for the “Magnificent Seven” group — which also includes Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Nvidia Corp. — are forecast to rise about 40% in the Q1 a year ago, according to Bloomberg Intelligence data. The group of tech megacaps is crucial to the S&P 500 since the companies carry the heaviest weightings in the benchmark. Visa revenue advanced by 17% as Consumer Card spending increased.
