Choosing the Best Broker: What to Look For


Recommended Posts

Before venturing into trading, the first step should be to find a competent broker. That you know about put and call options doesn’t make you a pro, which is why seeking professional assistance from a brokerage company is necessary. Besides acting as a bridge between you and the market, the company also contributes to you getting the most out of your trades in real time. You benefit from many things including professional tools like indicators, signals, graphs and more so, expert advice.

 

The popularity of   trading has grown over the years, and today, you will get a wide variety of brokers with a simple Google search. In effect, this has made choosing the best broker a challenging task for many people, especially those who are doing it for the first time. The good news is that there are a few things that you can look for to know that you are dealing with the best in the business. Better yet, you won’t have to look for them farther.

 

Top 5 things to look for when choosing a good   broker

 

The broker’s reputation

The first thing that should come up naturally when conducting your research is the reputation of the broker. How many people have they helped to trade? How many do they manage at the moment? Can their previous clients speak of good things about them? The reputation of the broker that you choose to use will determine how well your investment is managed as well as the possibility of getting what you deserve.

 

So be sure to check that the broker has a good history with its clients and if you can get in touch with some of its clients; even better.

 

Professional Trading Tools and Features

The difference between using a broker in your real-time trading and not using one include among other things the tools and features that they offer. These are aimed at making your trading more efficient and productive. They are supposed to help you to make the most when the market goes up and help cut loses when the market goes down. As such, a good broker should have effective tools and features to help you maximize your profits and tame the loses, but if they offer anything less than that, you better look for another one – they are many after all.

 

Terms and Conditions

The mistake that many people commit when looking for a   broker is getting carried away by the good words most of them use and forget to read the fine print. They say the devil is in the details and you want to be sure that you are acquainted with everything before putting the ink on paper. For this reason, take your time and go through the terms and conditions, noting the benefits that you are liable to and how the loses are handled.

 

A good broker will have its terms and conditions well-laid out in a simplified and straightforward manner to make sure that you understand. Be sure that you seek clarification when you need any.

 

Demo Account

Whether you are a seasoned trader or a beginner, a demo account comes in handy in understanding how your broker operates. This includes the ease of calling and putting as well as the effectiveness of the professional tools that they offer. This allows you to taste the waters before actually being part of it, and if you think that the platform is way better than those that you have tried before, then you probably will have found your broker.

 

It is a red flag when the broker doesn’t have a demo account. While it is not easy to find any without a demo account, it is good to ensure that it is offered.

 

Customer support

So, you have been trading, and sometime in the night, your platform fails you. You try calling in, but no one picks your cal. Worse yet, they pick, and they offer more problems than solutions. What do you do? Another critical thing to look for in a good broker is the quality of customer support that they provide. To be sure, contact them and have them solve an issue that you have. If you are satisfied with how they not only handle the query but also how they treat you, you may want to consider.

Brokers are an important factor in the success of a trader. therefore think carefully when going to choose a broker, pay attention to the advantages and disadvantages of the broker. don't just choose a broker that provides comfort in trading, but choose a broker who provides support to traders in successful trading like Tickmill.

Forex brokers are here for business. Providing trading platform for traders is not an act of hospitality; there is a fee attached to every transaction you make. So before choosing a broker, consider yourself as a client and think of what you service and features you actually want. How much fee are you willing to pay and the payment method you are comfortable with. Know what kind of trader you are and find out if the broker's platform will be suitable for you.

 

Talking about hospitable brokers, there are some that provide welcome bonus to new traders. Instaforex gives up to $500, but you must deposit half of the money before you can even think of withdrawing (impossible to withdraw profit made even). The only benefit is that you can use it to test the broker's features.

 

Another broker that offers welcome bonus is ForexChief; they offer $100 free. It's the best I have ever used, since I was able to withdraw my profits instantly. The point of all this is that all brokers should offer these kind of bonus so that we traders can test their features before depositing.

My way is to look for regulation and their reputation. Once you are sure about this, then everything else is fine. I am working with FreshForex for years now, and the obvious logic to work with them was their reputation, which is stunning. They are servicing in the industry since last 12-13 years, and have won endless awards due to their achievement. And further, the facilities available are equally cool, especially to do with low spreads, bonuses, instant payments and much more.

If the importance of a medium can be said in one sentence, then I will say that “Broker is the most important element for retail, small scale forex traders”. In the present time, broker is not only the trading platform but also the professional guidelines for the foreign currency exchange traders if the broker is reliable and regulated. And thereby, a trader must select his broker after analyzing all aspects.

If we talk about cryptocurrency from a neutral side, then I think that this is progress in the financial sphere. I am not a miner and not a trader, but my friends and close to me people, earn on this currency a lot of money. I know that thanks to various services like bitcoin mixer, this currency is hard to track down and thus it is safe.

My preference with any broker is for safety and security, and that’s exactly what I get with FreshForex, since they not only are properly regulated but also in the industry since last 13-14 years, and easily is amongst one of the OLDEST companies out there. And more so, the features are simply mind boggling. My favourite part is their 200% deposit bonus, which makes trading so exciting in every term.
