What’s this all about ECN with and without commissions? My need is about getting the lowest spreads such as Alpari. Any similar options?

Yes, I’m too insecure to use an unregulated broker.

I completely agree with you, this result is really possible.

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.

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.

Adamgylicrist posted:Certainly beginners should not jump into this right away. Proper education is very important if one has to trade forex. Most new traders fail because they jump right into trading live and end up losing everything.
How frequently do you trade, if I may ask? If you trade a lot then it is good that you go for an ECN account but if you are a beginner and don’t have much idea about it, you should try to learn a few things and then get started. It is not at all easy to trade using high leverage and a broker that provides you with lower spreads should do the work. I have tried the demo account of Alpari but when I shifted to live accounts I used other brokers. You can look into Pepperstone, LCG and IG too.

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.

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.

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.

@Eric Make a list of brokers you want to trade with and compare their spreads. Whatever suits you, go with it. Simple as that.

I have an ECN account too. The ECN brokers usually have low or tight spreads because it increases the possibility of making more profits and that ultimately benefits the traders. So there is no point in paying a broker more. If the spreads are low and transaction cost is minimal, I say go for it.

Hi. you can simply check if your broker is regulated or not. IC markets, Plus500, Fxview are some regulated brokers and there are multiple benefits of using such brokers. I will list them for your understanding and you should use them because there is:
Safety of investment
Availability of compensation
Safety from getting scammed
Timely risk warning by the broker
Margin calls
Transparent trading operations

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...
