Best Forex Broker?

What, in your opinion, is the best forex broker and why?

I am looking to open a micro account with a forex broker, preferably one that offers a demo.

Thank you very much in advance.

Check out dukascopy (Forex trading, ECN Broker, Managed accounts, Swiss FX trading platform). They are ECN forex broker located in Swiss. Their spread is very tight, and recently they lowered their min. lot size to 1,000 (micro lot).

Re: Best Forex Broker?

I use hot forex - for the following reasons:

1) Low spreads
2) Higher Leverage than most
3) Ability to trade oil and all the major indexes (Dax, S&P, Dow, Etc.)
4) 50% bonus on deposits (deposit $1000 get $1500 to trade)

Re: Best Forex Broker?

For me, the best forex broker has to be the quickest one, which means that my orders are sent to the market without delays or requotes. The broker has to be a real ECN STP broker that works directly with the real market. Another important issue is the spreads- I want to reduce the costs so 1.8 is the max spread I am willing to take (EUR/USD). Regardless to the performance of the broker, it has to have a great customer service and easy payment methods. When I try a new broker, I usually open 100$ account and try to withdrawal the money within few days. If I see any problems, I erase this broker from my mind and- there are no second chance in this matter. It took me years to find such a broker, mainly because it took the brokers too long to work according these standards. Finally I settled down at alpari UK two years ago, and 5 month ago I started working with sunbird fx as well. Very satisfied with both of them- each one has it is pros and cons… I suggest that you try their demo account before you open a live account. Good Luck

Re: Best Forex Broker?

Most of the forex brokers offer demo account so that wouldn't be a problem. I remember it took about a month for me to decide which one was best for me...There are plenty of them...You should compare them and choose one...

I think the most important thing is the security of your money. Probably you wouldn’t want to hand over hundreds of $$$ to a company which you can’t trust. Check to see if it is registered with any regulating authorities...

Next step is to compare what they offer. Minimum deposit, trade sizes, spreads, variety of instruments etc...
