What do you expect from a broker?

Tight spreads, low commission, easy withdrawals, and good customer support, etc.

Yes. Those are the most essential elements.

Nothing much from my broker, everything is fine with them but being more materialistic expecting some more reward points to appear on my fxview dashboard to have a smart watch. And for this I need to get back to the grindstone. :D

There is a difference between what I expect (slippage, high spreads at night, bad customer service) and what I want..

when I made the choice of a broker, I expected only reliable and high-quality work, otherwise it’s impossible to work, that's how I got to Amarkets, although before that I worked with some brokers who did not justify themselves at all

Choosing a good broker is the most integral step for any trader. A good broker provides tight spreads, easy trade execution, solid trading platforms, easy contact to the broker, etc.

Fortunately my broker(fxview) provides all of that, m just waiting for them to start offering cryptos and m happy.

I expect good trading conditions and excellent customer service. So far the best I have found is coinexx.

Decent trading conditions, customer service and quick withdrawals. I hate waiting for my money.

The only thing I expect from any broker is to be genuine. I expect it not to cheat me. I want it to let me withdraw my earnings. That’s all I want from any broker. I don’t expect any special offers. I can do without them.
I’m afraid of scam brokers. I don’t want to lose money for non-trading reasons. I hope that the availability of a license absolutely excludes the most negative scenarios.

I start by checking their website to make sure that it's transparent and that I can find all the information I need easily. Then I check costs including spreads, commissions, deposit/withdrawal fees, and look through their terms & conditions to see if there are any hidden fees for account maintenance, inactivity, etc. Next, I make sure they have a good selection of assets for trading and use a platform I like. Finally, I make sure that they have easy to reach customer support. If they offer LiveChat, I always test it out because some brokers advertise this when you can really only chat with a bot or nobody is ever online. I don't really care much about bonuses because I feel that is often there to distract you from some unfavorable terms elsewhere.

I generally expect tight spreads, low commissions, fast execution and easy withdrawals from brokers and am satisfied with TurnkeyForex for that matter.

Your wish just came true. :D They are offering cryptos now.

Definitely, many expect profit from Forex. It is a pity that few people understand that working in this industry requires training and experience.

Have you traded, how’s the spread?

I am sure that here everyone chooses what he considers more accessible and correct.

Yeah I have tried my hands on BTCUSD and got to see spreads between 15-20 pips.

It is a pity that many expect easy money. It is important to understand that this happens very rarely.
