lkwong posted: Have a look at Custodian Bank Services provided at Dukascopy. It seems as the funds are held at banks (your choice of 7 banks) in trust (not segregated accounts). Deposit accounts in Switzerland are insured to CHF100,000. These services are reserved only for larger accounts tho'... That sounds good, problem is that choosing a broker based on the funds' safety doesn't always coincide with broker choice based on the platform for example. I for one, don't like Dukascopy's java platform at all. |

I thought I read that they did have some MT4 bridge that allows a copy of the original Metaquotes platform to send orders to their system. Not sure if thats true. Oh well... I can probably find out if / when I get that USD250K to get the service :0) -LK The YELLOW line should always be above the RED line. It means you've cut your losses, and let your winners run. |

When it comes to choosing your broker there are a lot of aspects to consider. I only trade forex from the MT4 platform. I have heard good and bad things about Dukascopy. I am very happy where I am right now and do not plan to make any changes. Overall they offer the best all around package and keep adding to their services.

As to the platform, it's simply a matter of taste - IMO it doesn't look good as the rest of the retail platforms (trading station, MT4, fxtrade). |

If you are not from US, I would suggest Armada Markets - offers really tight spreads on low commission.

I like oanda, for live trading, mt4 demos for analysis.
At the time before you open a position on fxtrade platform, you can see how much margin it will use- and the amount of Profit/Loss you will incur, when the trade hits stop loss or take profit. "Follow your Highest Excitement;" -Bashar |

Oanda is the best. New trader can trade a little bit while learning without losing bankroll if any.
Oanda has unit based structure which allows to trade even $20 as if it is $100 K |
