Personally I have tried over 8 brokers with live accounts. It was one of the first things I did when begining forex trading. I traded live accounts with 3 other traders in my trading group with and compared/contrasted results from brokers. To this day I believe the best broker as do my trading partners to be FXSOL. If only you could trade option contracts with them like you can on FXCM. Stay away from FXCM at all costs though, their price slippage during fundamentals is unbelievable.
