I don’t even get charged for withdrawals with fxview. Some other options you can explore are IB, Pepperstone, Amarkets, etc.Gleywilleyy posted:$2 is very reasonable, any other fees that they charge?richardmarcus posted:I find fxtm and fxview to be quite alright. Using them for the low commission charges and spreads. Fxview is charging me $2 and fxtmn $4 for entry and exit. And as per slippage, the platform's quite balanced, I’m using MT4.Gleywilleyy posted:True that do u know any??
Hey, the answer is simple. Just look for a low commission broker that is also regulated and has good trading conditions.

Yeah, no one can move forward in forex without a proper learning base.

Don’t go only with commissions because a broker will charge a commission to provide you with service. I am using Fxview which has a pure ECN account. The rate of commission is 2 dollars per lot round turn. It is very transparent but there are other brokers too which do not charge transaction cost. There are STP accounts as well which don’t charge the traders for the commission (like IB) but earn through the difference in the spreads

The lot commissions are a good way but I think there are other methods also where brokers can earn money through indirect methods, without putting upfront cost to the traders.

Is anyone here using a no-commission broker?
1. Broker always charges you a fee
2. It is either hidden as spread markup so for example eurusd spread 35 pipettes.
3. It could be transparent as commission e.g. $5.5 for 1 lot
4. It could be combination of both so spread markup e.g. 8 pipettes and $10 commission
5. Moreover while commissions are fixed the spread may be variable or dynamic
6. Also brokers charges you fee for keeping trade open called swap. Rarely they pay you this fee. It depends on pair and broker.

I also made a choice of a broker for a very long time, because I wanted to choose one with which it would be safer than which it would not cheat, therefore, I consider Amarkets worthy, and if it were not so, it would not have lasted on the market for 13 years.

How is swap rate different from rollover?
What is a reasonable commission price if the broker claims to offer 0 spreads?
Isn’t 35 pips way too much?
Thanks in advance.

I agree with you Eric! Starting with demos can make a big difference to a trade and for newbies it can even be better.
Feb 12 2021 at 09:44
Commissions can turn out to be an extremely important parameter and it is completely okay to make a decision based on that. Lower commission brokers are easily available, so there’s no reason to shell out more bucks.
Feb 12 2021 at 12:31
I’ve been using some low commission brokers for my trades which includes Fxtm, Fxpro and Fxview. The spreads are also pretty tight on these. So it’s a win-win for me. Otherwise I have seen that brokers with low commission give not-so-appealing spreads.
Lorencecolling posted:I hope they are good with their demos too? What I mean is that the demo environment is similar to the live one, like it should be realistic.

Trading can actually be very simple. You choose the medium you want to use for learning, and then get on with a demo account to practice what you’ve learned. The next step is the live market, for which micro accounts given by so many brokers like ic markets, fxtm, fxview, octafx, etc make perfect sense. So ya, using a micro lot is not really a choice, but a done thing if you want to be a successful trader. Bypass it at your own financial risk!
