hi. I would like to know what is the limit date to go in your website and take advantage from this gift? Actually I would like to know if I’d get more profits getting a new live account because as we know, traders can get bonuses according to the amount invested. We should then analyze according to the amount invested. Adrian

Thank you Arnaud, I was looking for recomendations on a good broker to use. I guess for $50 they have my attention for now, what better way to test drive a broker than with real money. No matter how seriously I take demo trading, its never the same as live.

Besides FXCM (who obviously have your endorsement) is there any other borker you would recommend?

I like Oanda (my actual broker) and FXCM (my future broker)

In the past (4 years ago) I had an account with ACM. The platform was great but I didn't like the service. I heard that it's better now.

I didn't have an account with an other broker.

I have an account with instaforex. May be i'll open another account with fxcm.

well, maybe I didn’t understand how this “gift” works so it hasn’t a limit. About bonus, do you have some experience? It is really a important thing to know before choosing a broker?

Bonus is not as important as the performance of the broker. Meaning does the broker has good customer service, fast execution, slippage, requotes, and fast withdrawal process. These are far more important than bonuses. On the other hand, free money is not a bad thing.

great, then I’ve completed a little list with some important to facts from brokers. I didn’t know how we get requites, it means we don’t really get the spread as seen in the platform? Also, I need to know more about slippage. Does it mean we think we’ve opened an order but it is not?

May be this is the moment to say that not all of the clients are satisfied with Oanda. I believe that they will never dare to try dirty tricks with you because this will be example of marketing suicide:) but small traders have to be cautious with them.

They have ripped off well known Forex blogger
SimonSupertrader opinion
And little about their helpdesk

So far, thanks to your website I have opened FXCM micro account and I am completely satisfied with their service. I have had trouble with logging in once due server problem and I was few minutes late to enter a trade. They have recovered my loss after my request without any discussions.

About bonuses,

I am a broker that let you guys dead on a 10 pips spread on EURUSD.

From those 10 pips I will give you back 6 pips if you reach a certain volume limit. 6 pips? that's huge ! wow let me call that broker straight away...

I guess you got my point.
