I couldn't disagree more.

It's not a matter of "allowing" US clients. It's a matter of conforming to US regulations for US clients. This doesn't have an impact on the broker as far as quality is concerned. If you're upset about it then address your local US politician, don't take a notch out of a broker who's only abiding by the rules.

As I understand it, it's clients who are US residents. If you move to another country you shouldn't have a problem. You know in case your local politician does nothing.

They'd rig the elections before they let that guy win.

I hope I'm wrong.

You're not. They're already rigging the primaries:

And if it somehow gets to the general election they can count on the diebold machines to spit out the "right" result. If by some miracle that fails too (can't imagine how) they can always dust off the JFK sniper riffle from storage if Dr Paul actually starts to apply his ideas.

US elections. Spinning of patriotic/ puritanical hype and sententious BS that comes with the campaign circus. Don't worry, UK isn't far behind (as seen in the last nauseating display of hypocrisy). We all get the bastards we deserve in the end, perhaps. I mean, for Christ's sake, look what the French got! In an ideal world, wise minds would rule instead of egomaniacs or puritanical zealots.



Back to 'Best Broker 2012'. Let us not lose track and aid those fresh faced newbs looking to plant their seed capital with the right outfit (and perhaps the seasoned who may have become unhappy with their current intermediary). A tall order, gentlemen, to witttle the field down to a few chosen but let us try. May I suggest we firstly look at those 'unworthy', remove the chaff, if you will, and then at least narrow things down a bit. Shall we start with the spread? My initial research has led me to suggest that a 'consistent' spread of greater than 1.5/2/3 on the eur/usd pair is crap (including commission or spread mark-up)?

After looking at the recent (last few days) data I have a list of half a dozen outfits that are consistently greater than my 'unacceptable' spread. Constructive responses welcome.

Don't stress about finding a particular broker if you are a newbie right now, try and learn how to trade first, brokers these days are all the same in terms of their services....some australian brokers are go markets and axitrader

I think that for every person different brokers can be the best. Brokers treat their clients in a different way. It often happens that one trader is completely satysfied with one broker and the other trader is not with the same broker. I think that sometimes it's better to work with those brokersthat are not so much time on traders market. They want to have a good reputation first of all

Very good points.

Also even if you happen to find a good br0ker, it's still best if you keep your money with 2-3 br0kers at the same time, to compare the service quality, to hedge systemic risks, and also to use different strategies (diversification).

It's true. During this month I'm planning to do so. Right now I'm with Oanda, but I want to deposit money to any "young" broker. Maybe, you can advice me some new brokers who have good reputation?
