Spreads is mainly considered as an important financial tool which an investor should consider when choosing a broker. We the traders who are particularly scalpers have to choose the broker which always makes sure lowest trading spreads which is very supportive to make profit with certainly by scalping.

Personally I don’t trust any broker, because when I was a novice trader then I tried with multiple trading robots with high cost! But the results were horrible! I lost my trading capital for 3 times in a row! This is way, now I trade manually based on current fundamental data!

If you’re intending to trade with a broker licensed within the EU, keep in mind that ESMA just issued a ban against binary options broker as well as a set of restrictions on CFDs. (https://www.forexbrokerz.com/news/ESMA-bans-binary-options-sets-restrictions-on-CFDs-for-retail-clients)
The restrictions on CFDs include leverage limits on opening positions; a margin close out rule on a per account basis; a negative balance protection on a per account basis; preventing the use of incentives by a CFD provider; and a standardized risk warning.
To be more precise, the leverage limits on the opening of a position by a retail clients will range from 1:30 to 1:2, depending on the underlying asset.

UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published a warning against the forex and CFD broker KayaFX. As per usual, the warning is issued because KayaFX offers its services in the UK, without having the proper authorization. (https://www.forexbrokerz.com/news/UKs-FCA-warns-of-forex-CFD-broker-KayaFX)
The broker claims it is based in Tallinn, Estonia but there is no regulatory information available. The company owning the broker – GammaTech Services – has a license for a currency exchange from the country’s Ministry of Economy, but this does not mean the company is regulated.

always choose true ecn broker. there are many market maker broker called them true ecn broker. but when u ask the liquidity provider, they cant answer.

IC market is really true ecn broker with name of liqidity providers with true market depth. I have selected it after thorough research and using it since 2 years. it has completely raw spread. zero or even negative spread.

commission 7$ per round turn.

open account with this link (Introducing Broker)

and you will get back 1$ per round turn.

Happy Trading

The traders who are particularly newcomers always looking for a bonus to trade comfortably. According to me, we newcomers have to take any kinds of bonus from only regulated trading broker, otherwise it is useless to have 100-200% bonuses which cannot use at all due to margin stop outs.

I looked at IC Markets (also today at TickMill) due to low spreads, but they do not offer Negative Balance Protection, and I'm not gonna risk that.

I'm otherwise with Trading212, IG, and Forextime (in order of narrowing spreads, in the case of EUR/USD that's 0.9 0.6 0.3 pips, where 0.3 FXTM is an '''ECN''' account (don't know if *real* ECN)), who all guarantee Negative Balance Protection, at least for me as a German customer, so don't blindly rely on this statement. (Shouldn't, anyway.)

FXTM offer the swap-free option to *all* person, so you don't have to prove that you have really interesting beliefs that were programmed into you informationally/forcefully by your parents and society.

FXTM platform: MetaTrader 4 and 5, and a reduced MetaTrader web version.

IG platform: MetaTrader 4 (have to make a specific account for that) and a very good albeit not flawless proprietary web platform that's worth a testdrive.

T212 platform: Proprietary web platform. Good, but IG's is way better, even though IG can not *sigh* show bid and ask priceline in chart simultaneously.
Priority 1 in your life should be to find out what priority 2 is.
