What firm is the best broker for the forex trader?

Question

What program do you use to trade the Forex Market?

Answer 1

There is no good FX broker.  They all are poor at best. The trick is finding the one that works for you the best.

Here's a great link for reviews;

Be very careful (especially with specific suggestions from Yahoo Answers)...................................

BTW: I hope you understand how high the failure rate in FX is. The industry paints it as being a whole lot easier than it is. They generally leave out the importance of money management. 96% of new FX traders quit after 3 months. Most have lost almost their entire account balance.

The biggest problem is how many people move to FX trading without years of very successful trading experiance in another venue, like stocks.

I use Oanda and I'm glad with them. There are plenty of brokers out there, so you need to do a solid research before you chose a program or broker.

You can read reviews on several programs and brokers on http://www.forextopten.com/

I feel the Best brokers is one which suits best in your investment perspectives. I have tried around 10 forex dealers from which i found FINEXO the best from me. In order to profit from the forex market, you will need strategies not the broker and also the will to mold these strategies against time. Traders who lack a well thought out trading plan are prone to panic and confusion, when unexpected swings in the forex market occur. Many traders will tell you that trade driven by emotion is the fastest way to deplete your funds. Whether or not you are using a technical or fundamental style, it is still essential that you have a proper view of the market.

Successful traders often have a unique style of trading and take up various strategies during a trading session. Only continuous practice will help you gain a feel for the movements of the forex market.

Broker comes second. But my friend the key in Forex is YOU and YOUR TIMINGS.

To find out how traders themselves rate their forex broker, go to elitetrader.com and check out the broker ratings thread. Here is the link: http://elitetrader.com/br/

The list of forex brokers are listed together with different brokers on the left hand column.

I used to trade with FXCM, but chose to move all the funds under my management to OANDA. You'll find out why later when you check the ratings.

OANDA's trading platform is java based. I find it easy to use, and you can enter your trades by clicking on that price level in the chart to enter either a limit order or a market order. All accounts are updated in real time, plus their spreads are one of the lowest in the industry today.

Another thing I like with OANDA is that you can open a trading account with any amount. There are no minimum lots to trade. You can open a live trading account with only $1 and trade that account as much as you want, with the same spreads that the big boys trade with. This works well with any risk management profile.

What I don't like about OANDA's trading platform is that I cannot enter notes on the chart. Unlike other trading platforms that I have used. But I guess it's a small trade-off; they claim their developers are working on an upgrade for that.

Hope this helps.
