Tip #1 Real Time Quotes

This is extremely important. Forex trading is done 24 hours
a day and you want to have live quotes. With live quotes you
can be in full control of your funds and check them whenever
you want.

Make sure to check if the broker platform offer live quotes
24 hours a day. This is really important i cannot stress
this enough.

Make sure to check so the broker dont slow the execution of
the orders. This way you will enter a market at a different
time than you wanted.

So make sure that the broker dont slow the execution orders
also.

Tip #2 Easy to Use

The software you use should be easy to understand. You
should be able to start trading immediately. Skip systems
that take weeks to learn. They shall be easy to use thats
it.

You should also try to pick a software that doesn’t need any
download, but is accessable from every computer.

You could choose to download a software but make sure that
it got live quotes.

Tip #3 Support

This is very important. Your broker shall provide 24 hours
support no question about it. The forex market never rests
and if you need assistance you should get it fast.

A good tip is to contact their support about any questions
you have before you buy their services.

Tip #4 Trading Rates

Be sure to check if the software allows a freeze option when
you decide to buy or sell.

This way you get the rate you freeze and not the actual rate
that occurs when the buy or sell is processed seconds later.

Tip #5 Spreads

The spread is different from broker to broker. Make sure to
check which spread the broker have. If they have larger
spreads then the market have to move in your favor more than
it would have if the spread was smaller.

It can be harder to make a profit if the spread is larger so
try picking a software that have a small spread.
