I've traded with CMCmarkets and Saxobank so far on live accounts, and I think I like Saxo good enough. Looking forward to what others' choices are.

Best Broker

Steven, I have used about 10 different platforms, Alpari, Easy Forex, ABN Amro, Oanda, eToro, FXCM, Finexo and a bunch of others. My main criteria are reliable trade execution, tight spreads, admin including processing payments, redemptions and wider support.

The only platform I have used for more than 6 months, without complaint, is eToro. Charts are ok and functional but I mainly rate it as there is never slippage on trades, even in mad markets, and they cash in my profits to Paypal in quick time which is the point isn't it? To get to your profits.

It's also the most visually pleasing platform and original but in this business trust is everything and I am reluctant to move on to another platform with the risk that involves from a platform I trust.

There is a guy who works there too, can't remember his name but he rings me up with tip's on the USD which seem to be spot on as well.

Mike.

hmm... are they "licensed" to advise as well? otherwise this sounds really dogdy?!

eToro

Chilly, I think the issue is whether or not they give tip's on what to look for, which is just useful information or whether they provide investment advice for example "sell USD".

It's the former, bringing me up to speed on moving averages, resistance, supports, timings on interest rate announcements, etc.

I won't stress it much further otherwise I will just sound like I am eToro employee, which I am not, but they do give me great tips on what signals to look for but they don't advise/tell me what trades to do.

I am sure other eToro traders would confirm as much, as I am hardly likely to be the only trader who gets this support.
