Easyforex, Etoro, forex.com?

I have been practicing and so far I don´t like Metatrader4 .. AT ALL..
For me is kinda hard to understand, maybe because I just downloaded and didn´t really like its features, it was to "high-tech" or something..
Anyway I downloaded Etoro software and been practicing in the weekly contests (So far I think I am placed 22nd) I really like the software, very user-friendly.
Same with Easyforex and forex.com web based platforms.
LMAX seemed like a nice broker, regretfully (as they said in the e-mail LOL) they turned me down..

As you can see by reading I am looking for a good broker with an easy platform. I am looking for some comments hopefully from users of the following platforms.

Etoro (Which IMO is the most user friendly of the platforms) is a "bad broker", could anyone that have been there tell me what´s up with that?? I mean I would like to hear it from you guys, I have been reading reviews but they might as well be from other companies trying to make bad publicity about the rival companies.

Easyforex the nice thing about it is that I could just throw $25 to "experience it" it certaintly wouldn´t hurt my wallet ..much.. LOL. But as Etoro have read some bad reviews

Forex.com or Forex.com.uk both are easy to use platforms.

LMAX I got turned down but the web platform seemed pretty easy

So there you go, please share experiences and all that.
BTW I am open to suggestions for other broker pages

Thanks in advance.

im with etoro,but i dont use theeir charts they are really the worse!

but nice easy execution platform,but they dont have mt4,so u cant trade ea's and have all that fun trading on mt4,and getting signals from places like zulutrade and crap

competition is cool and the openbook

I tried demo-trading with Etoro and found the platform to be really simple and "manual". This helps a newbie like me to understand the forex market. I like the "hands on" experience. But I just don't see myself opening a real account there. Etoro's platform is buggy and lacks a great deal of features.

Metatrader looks a little bit intimidating, I agree. However, I think it's got more potential. I think auto-trading (not on auto-pilot, since it's too dangerous, but used as a tool, like a hammer or a screwdriver) can be more efficient and thus, profitable.

So this is what I'm looking into right now.

Easyforex, Etoro, forex.com?

do you know what all those three brokers have in common? there all worthless bucket shops...............

Come on man Easy Forex is a complete joke!

There may be times that we really cannot expect everything to be OK in a forex trading business. I just hope the everything will be fine for me.

I am currently looking for a broker as well.

The Etoro website is really nice(as you would expect) and the seem to give alot of education etc.

They even give you extra money depending on your first deposit...

Even if the charting is crap, I can use MT4 for charts...

They have no dealing desk...

I really like the Idea of making a profit by just depositing money, but can see how that is a scam.

They seem to have many awards and government approvals.

So what actually makes this a bucket shop? they seem to have many clients/customers.

Anyone actually dealt with them and had a bad experience? Apart from losing money because of bad trades?

Do you have any recommendations?

can any body suggest me a nice and decent broker for forex as i have heard many bad reviews of the brokers .

Hi everyone!

(First post here! I know this thread is pretty old now, but anyway someone might find this info useful as there is not a lot about eToro on FF...)

I have used IGindex and more recently eToro. First, I think it is fair to say that you can only judge a broker depending what your requirements are.

If you are after depositing an amount and learning from successful traders and not making many trades yourself, then eToro is really good.

If you are looking to trade yourself and analyse charts and want to run robots/whatever, then a site like eToro is certainly a bad choice!!

I will simply list some pros and cons on my experience of eToro, having happily used it for about 5 months now. I make full use of their copytrade system and rarely manually trade myself. If I need to analyse charts, I use a separate MT4 feed. It's a good broker for my needs and should I start upping the volume of my trades, or trade a larger account I will certainly change brokers. But until then this suits my needs really well.

Pros: Good customer service, high deposit bonuses/rewards, weekly competitions, excellent copytrade/social trading features, good leverage choice, copytrade allows extremely small lot/position sizes, over-weekend fees are very low

Cons: poor chart software, no Meta Trader capability, still suffers technical errors sometimes (though they have always refunded my account as necessary), manual trading is very "mickey mouse" and basic

Hi All,

iv been with Etoro for just around 8 months and i dint know anything about trading till one of my friend told me about etoro.

i jumped into deep end by starting real account, i started copying X amount of people and seeing what they doing, i dint learn anything good from them but i learnt Forex on there.

im still trading with Etoro, i do 95% of my trading on mobile and i think etoro has the best mobile app which makes life so easy.

There are plenty of cons with etoro - Spreads are so high that even some ladies could't spread there legs that much, Mobile app or even web trader lose connection just when markets are moving lots, if you dont have a order in place and want to open a Manuel position, sometime it stops responding just when you want to open/close a position and that could make you loss some profit or have a bigger loss then expecting.

I would love to move but m so used to the platform, when i try others, i just cant get used to them.

sorry i cant help, but ill keep my eyes on this post, to see if anyone recommends s better broker with same or better platform for mobiles.

Best of luck to all traders on this site, Green pips all the way.
