Greetings fellow traders!
Theres been a thought on the back of my mind which I just can't seem to come to a conclusion with. Wondering if any of the experts/newbie traders can give me some help here.
I've been looking into the brokerage section of the forum and looking at overal reviews of brokers etc... and it looks like people's opinions are really varied on this subject. I know the overall sentiment is: Market Makers are BAD and ECNs are GOOD etc... but I can take one broker xyz for example and there would be people saying how unreliable they are and then people vouching for them.
So I guess my question is does YOUR performance highly depend on YOU as a trader or does it depend on how your Broker "handles" your transactions?
i.e can you still be successful with a Market Maker broker and make money? Does it really all matter in the end?
Curious what people's thoughts are on this topic. All inputs are welcome, but let's not get into a fierce debate we are all here to learn from each other and prosper as traders.
