As you probably know, I have accounts with 3 brokers: EasyMarkets, FXPro and XM. These 3 have the best conditions for my trading style and I can advise you switching to one of these brokers if you are not confident about your current broker.
Below you can find a comparison table of popular FX brokers. I have collected actual data from the official sites, added ForexPeaceArmy ratings, and other numbers that may help you to make the right choice. In this article I explain which criteria are most useful to compare brokers.
In this article I have explained important criteria to choose a trading company. Questions left? Email me at tony@pipbear.com
