Which is your best broker?

[seihes]

I heard IB is an ECN broker, so the reason why the spread widen during news release might be that the banks who provide the quotes widen their own spread.

Fixed spread and no commission frighten me more than changing spread. Where do market makers make their money? It's because they trade against their customers.

Oanda is good for pre-school traders who trades with their piggy bank money.

But if you are a seasoned trader with a large account, a broker with the currenex platform is the only way to go.

Or if you have successfully passed the pre-school then most of the popular market makers are fine as long as you dont trade the news.

I got four accounts with FXCM,GFT,Oanda,DBFX. Currently I'm using the DBFX as my main account . Pretty soon I will be opening a currenex account with Manfinancial Singapore and it will be used as my main account.

ANYWAY!! Just google "MB Trading" and you should find it.

To be completely truthful, I'm not really sure what the MB stands for. Maybe initials of one of the owners?

I googled MB trading and it turned out to be a company MB Trading -- Direct Access Stocks, Options, and Futures Trading. I personally prefer a finotec. The spreads are low, 100:1 leverage and great trading platform. You get contact live help, almost any time and chat with one of the analysts.

I use easy-forex as my broker and trading platform. It was really easy and fast to setup an account with them, and I'm very comfortable with their trading platform.

Advantages of easy-forex:
Web based platform - Nothing to download, Trade from anywhere there's a computer with fast internet connection.
Guaranteed stop-loss.
Freeze the rate you see for 3 seconds.
Allows hedging.

Disadvantages of easy-forex:
Wide spread - Although this is negotiable depending on your account size and trading frequency.
No interest payed.

I have found the staff to be very helpful, and I haven't run into any problems. I give easy-forex two thumbs up.
