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.

Its 2 things

1/ The spread mean's more money in your pocket

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

Thats what i have found

I am going to use oanda fx - I have seem my friends

I've been happy with both Oanda and FXCM, they each have their strong points and flaws. Both are reputable brokers in my opinion/experience.

[evelyn]

Hello thank you all for your reply.

As for Oanda I used it and have nothing against what you wrote. As for FXCM I'm sure that it's a good, well-known company, but I want to use in this time some original and less well-known company. So sometimes less well-known companies give original services.

As james said, customer service is one of important points. Especially when I start using a company, I have lots of questions and have to contact with company's consultants. By the way, what company's customer service is better (from your experience)? It's desirable to write your personal experiences.

P.S. If you can, please write good/strong/bad etc. points "more in detail". Thank you in advance.
