Hello fellow pipsters! I have been on this forum a while and have been schooled and now demo trading for a few months.
I started with fxclub and etorro and then settled on mt4 with alpari. I also have an ibfx and oanda demo.
I am now trying to finalize my system and part of that is my choice of broker.
I am choosing these three because the are all in the US and regulated.
I did a comparison of features (they are very similar in most aspects) and now I would like to get some user input from you guys. I am not looking for a “this broker did this or did that” response but a comparison of strengths and weaknesses.
Example, fees - Oanda states they charge you $15 for every withdrawal over one per month and don’t show credit cards (giving me additional protection as a consumer) as funding option versus the other two. Also, they don’t have MT4 direct and they do not offer additional services such as Autochartist. Oanda does have 24/7 trading and lower advertised spread eurusd. I also like the way positions are calculated, making it easy calculate risk.
My trading style is is e/u intraday and I also want to be in a good position for scalping here and there as I keep working on my system.
Thanks!
