Hello fellow traders, I need a suggestion from this vibrant community.
Which broker you suggest for trading under these circumstances:

-starting capital 2000 EUR
-MT4 platform
-Rely mostly on Hedging strategies, automated (EAs)
-need a good levererage, like 1:300 least
-lot precision of 0.01
-Euro citizen
-Regulated

I know its a complicate question due to many factor, but having made a list of potential cadidates I would like to see if they are common,
Thanks,
Sy

Might I suggest ThinkForex? This broker meets all of your criteria, plus they have really low spreads (0.2 on EUR/USD with Pro account), good customer service, and fast execution. They are ASIC regulated.

Ah, yes, the key conundrum: with whom shall I entrust my trading moolah?

Well, most (surviving) brokers are regulated (if you're a cynic, that won't mean much), but, when it comes to conducting due diligence ('Crikey, do you need an anaesthetic...?'), you're looking at Spread, Trading Platform, Leverage, Support (preferably in-house, where you're communicating with people who are empathetic to your account status), and Execution.

Your're also seeking out Reviews by authentic 3rd parties (for example, reviews of my own broker excel markets), here on myfxbook and forexpeacearmy.

At the end of the day, choosing a broker is not rocket science. Now making money from currency trading, that's another story...

Silvia, that is simple: https://tradersway.com/

They have Euro MT4.ECN accounts with very low spread and starting from 10 Euro deposit. High execution, low commission. I use that broker for a while now. Good support, no nonsense, no aggressive marketing. Just trading, no games.

Excellent execution and very consistent spreads

Do you have a list of brokers that would be considered NON-Market makers?

What do you guys think about IC Markets? I've been demoing with them for a while now, but I've heard some horror stories about slippage in the real servers...

I have heard of IC but I think a lot of brokers have slippage, sometimes it cannot be avoided as execution always involves a delay. You just need to go for a broker that has a BIG liquid pool, with lots of providers of prices and buying/selling.
No matter which ECN/STP forex broker you go for you will encounter trades with slippages but sometimes it can be positive and negative - sometimes weighing in your favour or against you. It's just a matter of how quickly the market it moving and what kind of trader you are.

Hello,

the best thing to do is to look under their skirt, by finding out more about the actual trading costs.
Trading cost is influenced by mainly spread and commissions, but you should also pay attention to swap mark-up and conversion loss. These cost types are less known, however
they can raise your trading cost substantially.

If you want to get a good comparison of broker costs, I'd suggest you to take a look at the TraderProofer (https://tradeproofer.com/), they have a cost comparison engine which takes all
types of costs into consideration, you can even personalize your search accorcing to your trading style.

I hope this one helps for you.

Paxforex is Better Broker


'I have invested $10,000 and already earned $30,000. I withdrew my money and the transaction was processed without any complication. All of my deposits were processed in about 15 minutes and therefore I was able to trade in within minutes. PaxForex has many exciting promotions and an exquisite customer service. I suggest everybody to open a trading account with them!'
