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?

But apart from regulation, don’t you think there are other things also that must be considered like low spreads, low commissions, and high leverage. I believe they can make a bigger difference in your profits as compared to regulations.

...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.

But people are not getting what they actually want from demo accounts. Beginners want to demo trade by having live markets like situations which they are not getting. That is why they are finding an alternative to it.

I don’t think you should be worried about what unreliable Tik Tokers and YouTubers have to say about forex trading. They are there to gain followers and for that, they create content that can attract more viewers with forex trading being one of them. Don’t bother!

How to avoid losing trades and money on aspects that aren’t covered in demo accounts? I do live in the real world and know that having 100% success rate isn’t possible, but there needs to be a way out.

Don’t you think that high position size when accompanied with high leverage would magnify not just your profits but also your losses. This is probably one of the most common reasons why the noobs blow up their account within record time.

Yeah mate they are different. Take for example the spreads. With demo accounts, the spreads are tighter but with the live account, the spreads can vary by 1pip.

This is a freaking manually intensive method. Who’s having the time to draw on all the currency pairs traded in the past?
