Fxview has acttrader,
IC Markets - cTrader
FBS...

Really liked fxview and fxcm. Still testing them on their demo but feel like I can go live with them soon.
The proportion is certainly low, but the numbers are picking up. Women can be great risk managers, my wife sometimes advises me good enough to formulate a new strategy.
True though. The volatile nature of market does affect the trading psychology of a trader. Its something that goes on and on. We have to work hard to build a mindset though.
Yeah, stop loss is the key. I used to hesitate using it in my initial days but after some recommendations I made it a point to use stop losses when needed, and that has worked for me.
To decide which is the best, you'll have to yourself test the brokers mate. The only advice I can give is to look for brokers that are regulated so that you dont run the risk of being scammed .
