What are the most popular brokers Worldwide?

[bigmistake]

Let google top 10 brokers for 3-5 websites and find who appear most times in those sites. They must be the most popular ones or strongest marketing.

 

[ph_trader]

i would say the strongest marketing, there cant be an actual list of best brokers out there, but i can say safely there are a handful of actual good brokers, big names like ******** alpari fxcm etc, though i have another account with lmfx they have decent platform and good services, if im not mistaken they do offer their services to US traders as well.

hi what about asia forex brokers?

 

[ph_trader]

I have seen someasian brokrs try, local brokers like metsi trade etc but didnt do as good, mainly due to the idiolodgy that starting a broker will bring tons of money, so its done usually by people with money and no knowledge at all. sad but true.

Can someone suggest a broker that suits a newbie?
Thank you.

Interactive Brokers

Interactive Brokers is really a popular broker but it doesn't mean it have largest trading volume or most clients. Forex is really complicated and I believe the most popular broker is not the richest. Apple and Google are two most popular company but Microsoft must be the largest one.

That is because Apple charges more for their computer than Microsoft by quite a bit. They make more money per computer. This is because you get what you pay for. They make a better computer and not everyone can afford it. Interactive Brokers has a $10,000 account minimum and not everyone can afford that.

Popularity might not be the best metric to judge quality of a broker. I think a more helpful tool would be to look at what the overwhelming opinion is on a broker. Also, the best broker is a very subjective thing. It completely depends on what I am looking for and how I trade.

Microsoft is definitely not the largest company. Apple has 11% of the market share, but it worth more than 4 of the next largest companies in its sector.

I certainly would not choose a broker just because it had the most clients.

Just find a broker that will not fold under the next crash

Getting your money back,is better than shaving a few points of,commission

Then most traders,don't realise that you should negotiate with brokers aggressively for getting better rates

If,they don't like,it go,somewhere,else.....just,like,buying a car or other,products.....there is no real usp in this business so they have to be flexible

If you are prepared to,offer good volume to,them and decent $$$ throughput!they will!give you discounts

FXpro really s*cks they don't want to bear responsibility for their local offices, so they do what they want, completely mayhem really.
better to stay with Нotforex or FXCM these both are two great trading firms.

Yeah well they lost one of my withdrawals, took me a couple of months to get it, I don't think they like traders that are profitable...

as many bucketshops discussed and advertised on forums. Hiding under awards and trash talks really. Seems the only way is trial and errors if you want to find something decent..

we'll always try to find best but never achieve as trading is a row of wins and losses and sometimes it's hard to not lump the blame on broker (sometimes it can be really there can be really a hiccup of your losses). I was trading withs several brokers currently with Нotforex but I'm used to never leave complaints just make conclusions, every mistake is thoroughly analyzed and when I see that broker cheats I just leave it without any noise. Its futile trying to tilt at windmills..

It is, I like to name them and hopefully stop a few people wasting their time or giving them money, ig index is another waste of time too.

Don't estimate a company value by its shares. But ok, Apple is larger than Microsoft. I underestimate their iPhone brand.

Your figures look old, do you have the 2016 update one?
