Some tips about choosing Brokers.

Basically, I search for brokers who have a proven track record of trustworthiness. Also, low trading fees should be taken into consideration.
 
I take reviews with a grain of salt, instead I prefer to test a broker on my own. As of now, i am trying coinexx and eaglefx on a small account. Let’s see how it turns out.
 
There are thousands of brokers, and I think each trader they have own decision to choose the broker, I choose FXOpen and am proud to use their service.

What is a forex broker?
When it comes to trading foreign currency, you use a forex broker, also known as a currency trading broker, to place your trades. When you trade forex, you buy or sell in currency pairs, e.g., "EUR / USD" (Euro / U.S. Dollar). You open an account, deposit funds, then use the broker's trading platform to buy and sell currency using margin. The forex markets are open 24 hours a day, five days a week. Tips for finding Best forex brokers:

1. Consider Your Needs.
If you day trade a lot and capture small moves, consider an ECN broker. You'll pay a commission on trades but the spreads are much tighter, which matters when trading small moves. Search only for "ECN Forex Brokers."

2. What the Broker Should Offer
Now that you know what you want, and have hopefully narrowed the list of potential brokers, look for the following in the brokers you're still considering.
No "dealing desk." If you're a day trader you want to be interacting directly with the market, and not sending your order to a trading desk which then initiates it in the market. That takes too much time, and often results in "re-quotes." This is when the price has changed since you placed your order, and the broker asks you if you wish to proceed. Because of the time delay, your trade opportunity is likely gone.

3. Be Wary of "Losing Trader" Reviews
Part of your research in choosing a broker should be looking at written reviews of the broker as well as discussion forums.
Be wary of these though. Unless the information comes from a credible source, and most forums are not credible sources, you're likely to find fake reviews, both positive and negative.

Thanks for this wonderful piece.
Point 3 is so timely, one can hardly believe what they see online especially reviews. I was fortunate while choosing a broker because it was a friend who has been trading with forexchief that introduced me to them, though I made my own findings too but it was easy because he definitely could not mislead me. In the long run, it has been going well so far, the 100% welcome bonus was especially useful at the beginning.
