narafa,
How about if i tell you a site, that has an arabic version, is a member of GDCA, gives you a leverage of 1:500 to 1:50 of your choice, trades in metals and currencies, very very low minimum account opening requirement and also the customer support can speak to you in arabic if you insist and BEST OF ALL for you ONLY, No interest rate or roll over SWAP for arabic nationals and muslims (just for the sake of clarifications, islamic law prohibits interest on money) and yes metatrader platform....
Yeah..Im not a marketing guy for this company or anything, Im just a newbie looking for a broker who could give me high leverage on low margin and i was suggested to this site www.northfinance.com and yes...i lost quite a bit on my inexperience, but with the help from here and VWB, making my come back....
Just thought..it might help you..as im from india and many a times due to the so called LAWS of brokers..i being rejected many a times from various brokers....and finally find my refuge in oanda, northfinance and CMC markets but yes my search continues for a perfect broker ...as some one said here before there isn't any
...since I noticed that US brokers are not interested to open accounts for Middle Eastern people...I don't think European brokers will ever have this problem...
Guys, give me some warm congratulations...Finally my IB account has been approved & they are waiting for me to fund it right away...
I just returned from work, checked my email & found the nice great email telling me that my application has been approved...Can you imagine it, I am just that happy because they approved my account application wlthough I am the customer who is supposed to generate them some revenues...LOL....
Thanks,
Nader
Hi Nader,
Glad to hear that you have made it with IB. I have been with them for a few months now and I am happy trading the Forex futures with them.
Someone has mentioned about their trading platform. It's not a very easy toy to play with :-) However, they have opened up some communication API's that third party can write software to place the trade and run management through their tradestation software using this API. I would recommend you to check out ButtonTrader and see if you like it. I just use the most basic feature in BT to help me place a trade and then set up my stop and profit target (just click some buttons :-)).
Good luck!

Darn Egyptians and their pyramids...
Nader, all kidding aside, I have heard the same thing about ButtonTrader.
I use eSignal with the IB module and it works great. I've been an IB customer for over a year now and I think they're one of the best overall brokers out there...
You should also check out NinjaTrader as well...particularly if you are wanting to automate anything.
IB's quotes are second to none... the only folks better than IB in the feed department is eSignal. They're the best, IMO, in the industry. And their forex feed pulls data from five or six different brokers, along with spread information. Very fast, and very reliable...
All of this is no big deal if you're a trend follower like myself, however, there's nothing that gets me more excited than fast feeds!
