Please, stop recommend brokers if you didn't test it with bigger capital and withdraw bigger profit than funny 100 USD. FreshForex has no regulations so it shouldn't be never taken into consideration. Of course 100 USD is no risk, so you can play with them, but I doubt that someone wants to make $100.000 deposit to unregulated broker...
I can recommend IC Markets and Pepperstone, very similar trading conditions, ASIC regulated, no problems with withdrawal, many different types of funding account, fast execution, very good spreads (check on myfxbook), if you open account by cashbackforex.com you will get discount on commission (for example on AUD account you will pay 5,5 AUD for every lot round traded, no matter if it is NZDUSD, GBPUSD or GBPNZD etc.)
Look at screenshot with some spreads that I took today. I can see that many people recommend FinPro Trading, it's new broker and probably has some problems for last week (look at spread), the same spreads for last week and today.

one of the best forex broker is Oanda despite their wide spreads.......being with them over 7years
{quote} 1:50 leverage is crap unfortunately.
I had an account with Finprotrading and was liking them until 2 weeks ago when their servers went down for 3 days straight (not able to login to mt4) and their communication was terrible and then finally when my account was up again, some of the symbols I was trading were gone! I dropped them like a hot rock. NEXT
Some brokers to consider, Global Prime australia (very very good broker, reliable, the only downside is you must fund and withdrawal with wire transfer which costs money and takes time, if it wasn't for that they'd probably be my favourite since their customer service is amazing, they're regulated and trustworthy with small spreads. Other brokers to consider are Pepperstone (I really like them but they don't allow Canadians unfortunately), Tickmill and Tradeview. I'm currently with Tradeview and planning to also open a Tickmill account. They both have great spreads and great reviews.
Personally going forward, I'm splitting my trading capital between 3 or 4 brokers that I trust which all have awesome spreads. Gotta be prepared in this business...
By the way, I've had about 20 broker accounts in the last 8 years. I'm not a newbie. Most brokers play a lot of dirty tricks and I wouldn't trust them. For example, Exness - yes they have instant automatic withdrawal which is awesome and the spreads are ok but they play dirty tricks like having the spread constantly fluctuate so it looks good when you're about to click but then its widened by the time you click. Or being in a winning trade, trying to close your order and then getting the requote button, moments later price is going against you and you weren't able to get out of your trade, so now you close it with less profit. Or getting requotes when you're ready to get in to a trade and then price has already moved by the time you get in, those are common dirty tricks that they'll totally deny of course but its obvious once you've been trading with them. Any broker that I trust my money with has to be 1 click gets you in always at the price you want, no requotes ever. Also, ECN model so they're not profiting from your losses, they just make money on the spread and commissions. That way, they're happy to have you win because they're just making money from you and they're always hedged so they never lose from your winnings.
{quote} I agree, its the margin requirements are ridiculous, about $300 USD to trade 0.01 lots on gold. And the spreads really suck! I used Oanda about 5 years ago and the spreads were better then, now they're really gouging people. Same with dukascopy, I have an account with them, spreads suck, so does their platform jforex imo. I had an account with Finprotrading and was liking them until 2 weeks ago when their servers went down for 3 days straight (not able to login to mt4) and their communication was terrible and then finally when my account...
{quote} I didn't think Tradeview accepts Canadians or U.S clients?{image}
Hmm, that's strange, I'm Canadian and I opened my account with them in December. If you go to the Live Account Open section, it says choose your country, USA isn't part of the list but Canada is.. Tradeview has a special on right now if you click on New Spreads, until May 31, you can open one of their "zero" institutional accounts with $1000 (normally 25k)
Oh, I just noticed something, I think they changed their policy and you're seeing an old banner.

Seems they changed their stance on Canadians
{quote} Thanks for the tip, how long have you been with them? Have you made some withdrawals? Do you know some profitable traders using them and having a good experience?
Spread and commission one of the best. Great support. I haven't withdrawn money yet, but I guess it should not be an issue with ASIC regulated broker with clients money segregated at NAB.
