Oanda, by far
undoubtedly they’re very highly trusted …
but also terribly expensive in dealing costs, with spreads of up to 1.5 pips (regularly) on EUR/USD
of the ones mentioned in the OP i would choose Oanda by far (i have used them on and off for more than 20 years, they are well regulated and honest, have great trading platforms available, and i trust them completely) - with Oanda, in my opinion, you don’t need to be too concerned about the legal stuff - they’re honest and good (and properly regulated, …
who knows? why take a chance on it, when there are plenty of good brokers about anyway?
i share @Tommor ’s view here:
Thanks for the information. I don’t think I would even bother registering with a broker who has been subject to that level of NFA regulatory action. OK, they might have reformed entirely by now, but why should I take the risk? Why should I reward a firm with that kind of background with my hard-earned money?
they were regulated in all those other places before they were kicked out of the US - and many of those regulators have also fined them for dishonest malpractice
i wouldn’t touch them, myself
(anyway, what matters isn’t “where else they’re regulated”: it’s “where your account is regulated”)
