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.

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
