Hello, just to understand - what do you mean with safe?
Safe for funds (clients funds to be segregated from the companies) or anything else? Or which one offer better trading conditions?

Hi Louis,

I'm with VantageFX. We are regulated by both the ASIC in Australia and FCA in the UK. Would you like more details?

If you are more specific with 'safe brokers' maybe there will be many more suggestions. Elaborate more on the important things for you when choosing a broker.

Hi everyone..... I'm trading Forex only - major pairs. I am a newbie and I can't really understand how exactly the news are effecting the market price. Is it enough to concentrate on the technical analysis?

In my opinion, to be a truly great trader you need to understand both technical and fundamental analysis.

Oanda has two options for traders in their pricing.
One with with commission and a slightly lower spread, or you can opt out of commissions and get pure spread only.

Both are extremely reasonable. The typical spread on Oanda without the commission is around 2 PIPS on EURUSD, with the commission it's about 1 PIP.

I have accounts at both Oanda and Traders Way, and I've never had a problem with either of them. I do like oanda though, because on smaller accounts you can trade smaller than 0.01 lot sizes on their standard forex accounts.

I wouldn't say 1 pip spread on EURUSD is reasonable if you can easily find brokers with spread around 0,5 pip. Darwinex, Lmax, Squared name only few. All of them regulated and have good reputation

OANDA is a good broker from what I've heard and read. I've seen very very few bad reviews - everything else is positive. I've never tried to trade with them, but got curious now... and it sounds 'safe' enough :D

I have account for 5 years at Admiral Markets- never had problems ... can recommend them 100%
Lack of patience is one of the most important reasons of forex traders failure

My recommendation is that whatever broker you pick because someone recommended them to you, always check for yourself whether there have been any warnings or fines against them. (https://www.forexbrokerz.com/news/tags/warning). Do your own research and if you’re satisfied with the results and the terms and conditions of said broker sign up with them.
