i could show you some review sites where users can write reviews about their own broker but what you see will scare you to pieces. CMS doesnt have an overall good review on any of the sites i checked out but at the same token, most of the popular brokers out their are not highly rated. but that doesnt mean you will find the same problems as many others have found. take lots of time to trade their demo. infact you should be trading demos for at least 3 different brokers. if you can afford it, try opening accounts with 2-3 different brokers so you dont put all your eggs in one basket(that is you plan on taking trading seriousely and its not just a side thing). talk to a rep and have lots of good, tough questions. compare data feed with other brokers. know ahead of time, what you want in a broker. what kind of trader are you?make sure the package you go for fits your trading style.
babypips has a lesson on choosing the right broker. also check out fxstreet, forexfactory for comparisons with popular brokers(keep in mind, these guys only have brokers that they are affilated with). read forum discussions about brokers. if you want a platform that supports metatrader then go to Forex TSD Metatrader forum also forexfactory has a forum section that talks about brokers. you also need to know the different kinds of brokers available and the pros/cons of each (mm and ECN brokers). i too like VT trader platform and charts. their demo is unlimited (great for me).
