And which one you might recomand? How about zulu?
Mihulea, I have no recommendations for a signal service. Rhetorical questions; If you had a method to constantly generate winning signals, would you sell it?
If you were going to sell what is literally a licence to print money, what would your selling price be? Could anyone with a retail size trading account afford that selling price?

i would go to vantage fx, as you have the same leverage across all currency pairs, metals and cfds. i opened a $1,000 account with them recently and got given access to autochartist which generates signals. i had this on my ibfx account but moved away from them as they didn't offer me many other promotions.

making sure the broker is also regulated and has reliable server up time is also a big factor.

I am also curious about such a broker, but am an American and looking for those that offer decent leverage to Americans. Any suggestions?

fxcm. period. They dont hunt your stops. Just make sure you take their fixed spreads ECN deal not the "lower spreads where we may act as MM." tHEY TRADE ON THE nyse for God sake. They have to be regulated closer just by doing that. Plus going public means they cannot have any bad publicity or they are screwed.
I love them. Wouldnt go anywhere else...especially for big money.

My suggestion is you are doing this out of order. First choose your signal service, THEN the broker. The signal service should be the best source of information on broker/entry software that is a match with their style of signal calls.
You're kidding, right? I could go on a rant about these frauds but I'll keep it short. First, if the signals provided by signal services are so accurate, why aren't the services just trading it for themselves instead of selling it to you for advertisement money or fees? Second, signal services do not provide information on where to stop out at or where to take profit. Stay away from them, it's all utter rubbish.

hi i am new in forex and almost ready to invest $1000 . currently i am working oanda. but looking for FX solution uk
can any one suggest me a good broker reliable trusty not a scammer/ thieves

basically my plan is to invest in broker and buy a signal service to earn profit
Oanda is fine. I use and am quite happy with FXCM but you can get smaller position sizes and control risk better with a micro account versus mini. That said, I would strongly urge you to put that stack of cash away and open a demo account instead. I hate to be so much of a downer here but almost certainly you have no idea of what you're doing and all of that $1000 will sooner or later (probably sooner) be out of your pocket and in someone else's. This game is not straightforward with so much misinformation and outright lies being propagated to novice traders and it's taken me two years to even get an inkling. Or, you can do whatever you want. Just remember, I told you so.

Edit: I just realized how old this thread is. No doubt his money is long gone.

i would stick with oanda. yes, they are a market maker and they do manipulate spreads during news. they inflate it slightly, but they are much more transparent than fxsolution. for example, they will publicize long and short positions, historic spreads, and so on so you can verify the accuracy of them at all times. if at a certain time, the spread you experienced was not the same as the ones they publicized then you know something is up. also, they give you interest not on a monthly basis but on a daily basis so this could work in your advantage.

Many other brokers are also good but OANDA offers some great features that help you managing your risk. Two great features are

1. No limit on lot size, you could buy or sell even one unit of currency or any multiple of that, and
2. You can simultaneously see both bid and ask price lines on your chart. When spread widen you know exactly where you stand. There is no chart distortion unlike other brokers if you change the view from bid to ask.

These features may look insignificant to some people, but they make a huge difference.

Hi Guys,

Please recommend for me a realy good broker. What do you think, wich one is the best broker?

I want to open a real account with 5000 $

Thank You!

5000 is a good amount and you can invest to a lot of brokers as: hotforex, fxpro, fxcm. I recommend hotforex as a best broker for you to invest since its spread was very good.

Look into CitiFX and Tradestation for larger funds in the US.

For larger founds I would use maybe LGCFX: a part of the mail from they is

Please find below some bullet points re our FX services for your interest.

· Margin requirement is 50:1 with margin calls at 100:1+ and account liquidation at our discretion at 200:1+
· Commission typically starts at $15 per million USD although this is negotiable for higher volume accounts. ·
The minimum account application size is $20k .
· The min ticket size is $50k · We can open individual/corporate


Doesn't seems they want to be the best retail broker :-)

1000 will not take you far as you need cushion against market moves. Start trading with at least 5k with FXCM, Armada Markets or GFT. Been trading for a while with them.

Guess that depends more on the type of account you opt for, but yes, a larger account gives you more breathing space..
