If you’ve done a White Label deal or are currently reviewing WL providers, what were/are the most important features or services to you? Same for IBs.
regulating body
spreads
commission structure
A / B book
minimum deposits
(non) dealing desk
software
hedging
LPs
trade speed
API/FIX
leverage
other?
Nothing, I don’t even consider them. Some are pretty good, but at the end of the day, there are only a few good brokers out there that you should stick with.
This has been answered quite a few times but in short i think the general theme is,
regulated,
good spreads,
ideally ecn so they aren’t taking positions against you
fast easy withdrawls
Leverage, Spreads, Pips.
Mainly should focus on Regulation of the trading brokers.
Some brokers make being an IB really difficult for us. Some of them will give you a form that will take me a week to fill just to get a referral link to refer brokers. What do they take us for?
Regulatory body / nationality is the most important feature for me. Since I live in Australia, an Aust broker would be essential. ECN would come a very close second. Once these two conditions are satisfied, I then generally look for the broker with cheaper commission / tighter spread.
For me it is :
regulating body
spreads
commission structure
LP
Hedging
minimum deposit
obviously will look for spread, leverage, trading platform, regulation, offers, support, forex signals, etc…
