Who is your favorite broker and why?

With millions of brokers out there, it can be a hard pick,
mostly when you look in forums about brokers,
you will see mostly negative comments,
most of this is probably from novice traders not knowing what they are doing.
but it doesn't help other novice traders reading it either,
since they probably could be even more confused after reading it,
I want to hear about the good brokers only.

so let me know your broker, and why you think they are so good.
trading conditions, and experience, how long have you been with them?
deposits withdrawals etc.

For me good broker is fair regulated and pays me in time . They should have good trading services , there should be no slippage in trading in order to get exact results what I want from market. My money should be safe with them , They offer variety of accounts so that I can choose according to my needs.

I'm waiting for the list of "good" brokers here.... I think that the list would be the same in the thread called "Which is the worst broker and why?". One half of "traders" praise their brokers and another one hates them. So, roughtrader, good luck with your opinion poll and that it will help you and won't turn out to be "SCAM, NOT SCAM, SCAM, NOT SCAM" kind of thing.

Slippage will always be part of the market. Even when trading pop..

Excellent starting point for a small base of testimonials data.

Dont expect miracles if you have, short trailing´s /stoplosses and take profits, at (20:00 gmt/ 24:00 gmt) dont expect short spreads because real liquidity almost dont exist.

Good trades.

Hotforex and FXCM. Both are true STP brokers not bucketshops, made numerous withdrawals of decent $$ still no problems in my trading, same good as it was in the very start. They maintain the quality on 5-10 lots (same as on mini), very rare actually, as bucketshops are afraid to become counterparty for big orders and delay their execution
