You'll need to be more specific. What kind of capital do you have? Do you care about the tightest average spreads? Tight spreads around news? Low slippage? Fast execution? What kind of execution do you want: ECN, dealing, or agency? What kind of software? Mobile? API? Etc.

Software MUST be nice. It must have a lot of features like market depth and others. I hate oanda's platform, it's kind of depressing to use. This is why I want to leave Oanda.
Oanda is great if you don't care about the software.
Others = yes/no
Tradestation possibly? I know for certain they have market depth considering I've been with them for years, however, I've only been trading FX with them since last Oct. Great platform nonetheless and I couldn't be happier.
I'd recommend eToroUSA.
I'm not from the US so I can't say that I've experienced their US trading platform, but my experience with their non-US platform was very good.
Now that's sort of an open-ended query, isn't it? You need to be more specific as to what you are looking for in a broker. For example, all three of my regular brokers [Trader's Way, FXCM and Alpari] do welcome US clients and do offer high end leverage. But if you are looking for an ECN broker, would suggest the former where as the later is better suited for reg trading including shorter time frames.. just perfer them that way.
So yeah, it all comes down to what you need in a broker and google the top brokers for more info, good luck!
The small guy trying to get his feet wet starts out with a an average 500 to a 1000 dollars, to take a position with a standard lot you need 2000 dollars. Come on. The only guys that would open an account with those brokers is guys that have a thousands all ready. I don't have that yet to put up to trade and even if I did I would rather have a better leveraged account than that. Let it be at the traders discretion as to how much leverage he wants to use. Its our money!

All the asked facilities is available on forexmetal, Sorry Admin this is not the promoting, but it is a fact that this guy is just asking about the desired facilities and offers given by the mentioned broker. ECN, Quick execution, Apps facilities, Tight leverage, low spread is offered by many brokers.
Im in the US and a new trader looking for a reliable broker. I have around $5000 to start, and want an easy to use trading platform that has a good mobile app i can use on my iPhone. I trade stocks a bit, but never dove into forex so id need some basic education too.
