jimmyneeesham posted:I agree with you. There is no point of paying such high commissions for the sake of low spreads. There are so many options available where the spreads are low with a lower commission so it is better to go for that instead.
I don’t really have recommendations but all I can say is that no one should ever compromise on trading conditions or pay higher than what’s needed.

There are many who don’t actually care about regulations, and that’s why unregulated broker firms exist.

Harshalgibbs posted:I have used these brokers too. I think there are some things that you cannot avoid at any cost when you’re trading with a broker like the transaction cost, leverage, services, conditions etc. I’m not complaining but I haven’t had a good experience with a whole lot of brokers. I was scammed in the beginning and then there was some transaction issue with a few others. Fxview has really tight spreads and the competitive trading environment keeps me motivated. XM, Etoro and Forex.com go well for micro accounts.
It is not that difficult to find an ECN broker that offers low spreads. Just make sure the broker has 0.1 to 3 pips and the spreads are flexible. I use XM and Fxview and I really like the spreads. The ECN account has a deep liquidity pool and competitive spreads.Even the leverage is high. Works very well for me so I stick to these.

Ericdier752 posted:Be it STP or any account type, just go with brokers that are trustworthy and look after your trading needs. At first I fell for a fixed spread broker that was charging high commissions. That caused quite an imbalance to my money management and the profits were also bad. I started reading and then realised it is better to look for a variable spread broker. I switched right after.
I just started trading live and I have such similar questions. As of now I’m confused about whether it is important to trade with a domestic broker or offshore regulated brokers are good too? Any suggestion will do.

Harshalgibbs posted:I am not much sure about demo trading because it fills you with confidence and when you go live, nothing seems to be working. For me, demo trading is nothing more than wasting time.Ericdier752 posted:I agree that demo trading is a good way of testing your skills without having to worry about blowing your account. You can apply different strategies on your demo account and find out whether they are worth applying on your live account or not.Garrychris554 posted:I tried doing that but couldn’t figure it out like that. I think working on demos is a better way. There is no possibility of losing and the worst case scenario is blowing up an account which I think is a part of the learning process. I have little experience with trading but I keep trying so...
@Eric Make a list of brokers you want to trade with and compare their spreads. Whatever suits you, go with it. Simple as that.

Garry, I agree that you won’t lose anything when you demo trade. But if a strategy works well on your demo account and fails when you go live?

The brokers charge their fees because they provide us services.

There are many brokers in the market which provide pure ECN accounts which are very easy to understand. For example I am using Fxview which charges per lot. There are other brokers too who use STP models such as alpari, pepperstone etc. So there are different models of commission.

Garrychris554 posted:This is true. If you are scalping then I think STP accounts won’t be beneficial for you because it will ruin your profit margins.
ECN or some other account, no broker can provide you free service. It is absolutely sure that a broker also needs to run their house.

Hey Philip, I too think that if a trader wants tightest spreads possible, then pure ECN accounts would be much beneficial. You will get tighter spreads which are so essential for scalping.

Sure! There are plenty of low commission brokers out there. You’ll find one easily. I suggest you go with a low commission broker instead of a no commission one. This will save you some hassle.

There are options like Pepperstone, Swissquote, XM, Xtb, Forex.com, Fxview. I have used them all so I know how it must be. You can always begin with a demo account in my opinion and experience a platform. This will give you a fair idea of what the services and conditions of a platform are.

marnuslabushane posted:Try not to be so scared of a broker so much. They are essentially for a trader and just simply go with low commission and reliable trading platforms. Like I have always used brokers that don’t charge so high and the services are really good as well. Since it worked out fine for me, I am okay with it. I’ve used IB and Fxview mostly. Both are different kinds of brokers in a way, but when it comes to my particular trading needs, they work just fine.
I always get confused with this stuff. I mean should I go with a broker that is very good when it comes to the trading conditions but charges high commision or should I just stick to no commission broker that provides okayish service?
