Easy Forex, Oanda and IFCM, Which is the best?

[evelyn]

Hallo guys, I have some accounts in the main FOREX companies, but I want to open one more new account in another FOREX trading. I've already seen some FOREX companies official site and came to conclusion (but to my personal taste) that I want to choose one company from these companies. There companies have their own advantages.

So, I want to hear your comments, impressions, critics, offers etc. about these companies. I hope your opinions help me to choose the company.


Thank you very much and hope for your answers.

Easyforex
Gain Capital
IFC Markets

Hello Evelyn,

If you are from the United States (can't tell, perhaps the "Hallo" is an accent ), then EasyForex probably isn't an option for you at this time. I had tried to sign up with their affiliate SimpleForex and EasyForex and neither would work for me.

Oanda I still have a few dollars in my account there, but really don't like the trading platform - I personally found it harder than systems using MT4 or other platforms. They do have lower spreads but lower leverage as well if that is important to you. You can fund an account with a very small amount of money, they say any amount even a dollar. Can't complain on getting my money in and out other than a bit of a fee on the Paypal payment perhaps I would put more in at a time to water that down if I go back to them. If you think you might use them definately check out the demo version FX Game first and see if you like the way they work before funding a live account. I do plan on playing with the little bit of money I have left, perhaps if I use a different platform to chart.

I haven't used the others mentioned. Best to you.

Moin mdietlich. Nope, I'm neither from the US nor Germany.

Thank you for your reply. I have one account of OANDA now with some ten dollars, too. So I understand all what you wrote to me. I'm sorry that I wrote the title not rightly. In fact it should be Gain Capital. Indeed there are little differences between different forex companies and it's very hard to choose one of them.

In this time I want to try day trade a little, so I want a good platform / platforms with different tools of technical analysis. Of course, we can see the technical analyses in the Internet, but I want to become more independent and try to analyse the market on my own.

In connection with day trade I don't want any commission for trade and quick money transfer as e-gold or paypal. It's enough that the leverage is from 50 to 100, so too large leverage is dangerous for a deposit and our nerves.

And it's very important that the company has steady and stable server.

2/ a honest and reliable as you will find and very good customer service

Thats what i have found

Oanda and IFCM seem to be popular, but to be honest i was nicely surprised by easy-forex.com

Friendly staff, 24hrs Dealing Room support helps you establish good relationship

especially dealing room support is amazing. you can contact them at any time, place deals in your account, even get an update on the latest events in the market or alert you on upcoming news/indicators. If you get lucky, you may get a good tip of where market is heading

What i like mostly about this service is that even when you experience tech problems, internet , pc break down (which i believe happens to everybody) or other reasons prevent you from accessing your account on line, there is always a way to access your account or place a deal. I m pretty sure market won't wait for your pc to get back in place to make a move

give it a try

Dear Evelyn,

First, I wish u success in FX trading.

I have been trading with Easy Forex for 3 years and started as a beginner. The easy platform, friendly & helpful staff made the difference. The market is tough but service makes it easier. Especially, fter the basic training to start, I upgraded my account and received a very valuable service "Personal Dealer Service" that had a very good impact on my success rate: info eco and technical reports, advise, a lot of support, data release sms, Dealing Room Communication/Trading, 3 pips at best case, rates on my cell/mobile, a lot of admin assistance.

In case u feel like needing this, I m sure u ll appreciate my reply a lot.

All the best

Hello.

I have used the Forex.com for a few months... And heres my personal opinion on why I think its simply the best.

1. Website - What difference on forex.com from a lot of other websites is... the whole website layout. I seriously would never consider applying for a brokerage whose website looks like crap, and bunch of MESS. Forex.com is very simple, and PROFESSIONAL.

2. Platforms - Forex.com offeres Java-Based platform, and also HTML Based platform, and now a downloadable platform which is WAY awesome, but I still stick to java platform because it is SIMPLE, CLEAN, and once again... PROFESSIONAL. I seriously think fxcm platform is a mess, too much black, and I dont like the style.

3. Spreads - People will go all around looking for dozens of brokers... to see which one offers the smallest spreads. Let me tell you this... I think I would rather get a broker with 'medium' spreads, for when I trade, I dont make money trading 6 pips and making money off 3. I simply think its a dumb arguement, because when the market rises 50 pips, those 2 pips that you saved from your broker will not gain you millions... not even enough to consider switching to the broker. That is simply a trashy way to make you want to trade on another broker.

4. Customer Support - Very friendly, almost instant. 24/7 Customer support, I think it beats the rest.

I would give Forex.com 9/10.

More improvements CAN be done, but overall its great, and I think it beats the rest.

Note that this is my personal opinion, and that this is how it works best for me.
