Do I need to change brokers

Morning,

Ive been trading 2 months and my broker has their own online platform that im using, they also have a mobile app (am I allowed to mention the brokers name on here?). Im getting on well with them at the moment but want to do more due diligence and see if I should consider moving.

My questions are:
- Ive noticed people use MetaTrader, my understanding is this isnt a broker, but a platform?
- When I got the MT platform, I need to find a broker to use inline with MT?
- If that is the case how do I find a reliable broker?
- Is there anything specific I should be looking our for when deciding who to use?

Sorry, this is all new to me and I want to get an understanding of everyone elses set up.

Thanks in advance

Hi!
1 and 2) Most brokers can provide you with accounts that you can trade on MT4 or MT5.
3) There is a list of trustworthy brokers on forexfactory 'brokers' page.
4) You need to look into the offer on the spread on the instruments you want to trade on, means to deposit and withdraw money, as well as customer service availability.
Make sure you don't choose any off-shore brokers.

ps: google babypips, it's a good forex educational platform

Make a thorough verification before you choose a broker. Always check for regulation, never choose a broker without regulation. See how transparent the broker is with respect to his terms and conditions and don’t get carried away with the heavy forex bonus some of the brokers may offer.
