I agree, an interface of a broker, low latency, chart features, etc can make such a difference.

Spreads mostly would depend on the time you trade right? Can’t expect low spreads even from 0 spread brokers at all times!

Of course buddy, can’t trade peacefully otherwise, like if there’s constant thought of insecurity of money from broker’s end.

That of course, imagine not being able to see your money when you are supposed to. And no grey areas for me too when it comes to the broker I’m using.

That’s true! But I think it’s also to do more with the region. Like if I’m not wrong US brokers can’t technically allow hedging

Do you mean futures trading? I’m strictly into currencies.

Excellent’s a strong word :) is this some new broker in the market?

What trading platform are you using? I have seen many traders complain of MT4 freezing these days, I have personally not faced such issue though.

Thanks for sharing the broker’s names. I guess I’ll try demo with Etrade and see how it goes.

What technologies or instruments are you trading with?

So how do you judge whether it’s a good spread or not?

...for economic calendar? I think it’s really important to have this feature, what other stuff matters to you guys?

Are spreads a very important factor to take into account in Forex? I mean even though I’m a beginner, I’ve been reading a lot about it on forums like these with traders asking for tighter spreads.
