Things to consider when choosing a foreign exchange broker


• The broker is not your friend – he’s not necessarily your enemy, but it makes no difference to him how much money you make or lose, only how many trades you make and extended positions you keep open. Win, lose or draw, the broker gets paid.
• Do they have 24 hour customer support? The FX market is a 24 hours a day market – your broker needs to be too.

• How good is their customer service? Try them out before deciding, but bear in mind, their sales service may well be better than their after sales service. If possible, get a personal recommendation. By personal, I mean from someone you know personally - not the nice gentleman who posts the YouTube videos that demonstrate how easy it is to make a fortune forex trading.

• How comfortable are you with their trading platform? Many brokers offer a demo account facility that will allow you to test their platform. This is a crucial point – you must feel that you fully understand their operating software and are comfortable using it. Bear in mind using a demo account with no money in is not the same as trading for real. Which trading platform you prefer will depend on a number of factors.

• What level of commission do they charge? i.e how much is their spread?
