forex Brokers.

forex Brokers.
A forex broker is an intermediary between a trader and the currency market. Retail foreign exchange trading is not possible without a forex brokerage. A good broker provides a trading platform, accepts deposits and processes withdrawals, provides leverage, and promptly executes trading orders. Sometimes, FX brokerage companies would also offer education, bonuses, trade copying, and other resources and tools.
Finding the best forex broker among hundreds of online currency trading companies is not an easy task. When looking for a broker, you have to pay attention to the following aspects:
Is the broker reliable? Is it regulated by a solid authority? What country is it based in? Will it be easy for you to get compensated in case things do not go as planned? How fair are the broker's trading conditions? Are spreads and commission low? Does it offer leverage on fair conditions? Are overnight interest rate payments distributed honestly? How fast and seamless is the broker's order execution? Does the broker offer all currency pairs you would like to trade? Does it accept your preferred payment method? Are you comfortable with the trading platform? Is broker's support service knowledgeable? Is it honest in answering uneasy questions? How long does it take the broker to respond to traders' issues? How reputable is the broker? How old is it? Does it have a good share of positive reviews? Do those reviews look legit?
To help you answer these questions, Earnforex offers a complete set of tools for you to search, analyze, and compare existing FX firms.

Choosing a forex broker?
Speculative currency trading through a retail FX broker is not the only way to participate in the foreign exchange market. You should be considering to open an account with one of the online forex brokers if:
You are totally OK with Internet-based trading . You do not mind accepting electronic terms of service instead of signing lengthy paper contracts. You wish to be able to trade with offshore FX brokers (however, we still advise to go with a regulated company). Diversity of choices is more important to you than a personal contact with your brokerage. You are interested in being a day trader or scalper . You want to work via state-of-the-art trading software at no additional cost. You would like to have hundreds of currency pairs and CFDs at your disposal.

Best forex Brokers--October 2019.
These brokers offer tight spreads and great trading platforms.
Investopedia is committed to rigorous editorial standards to provide our readers with the best advice and recommendations. We may receive compensation when you click on links to products we reviewed. Learn more about our methodology and review process.
The global foreign exchange (forex) market is the largest and most actively traded financial market in the world, by far. When looking for the 'best' forex broker, both beginners and experienced traders generally look for several key features and benefits. Among the most important of these are fees (including spreads and commissions), trading platform(s) (including software, web-based, mobile, charting and third-party platforms), customer support, trading education along with currency research, and trustworthiness.
Best for forex.
Our list of the top brokers for forex trading:
IG CMC Markets OANDA London Capital Group (LCG) X-Trade Brokers (XTB) forex.com Pepperstone.
Note: There are now only three forex-only brokers currently operating in the U.S. All three are represented on this list. Our winner, IG, is one of the largest brokers in the world but only just re-entered the U.S. market officially in February 2019. The other two brokers who operate in the U.S. are OANDA and forex.com.
IG Group.
Account Minimum : $0 Fees : Minimum of 0.6 pips for EUR/USD Best for : forex Trading.
IG has been in the forex and CFD business for over 40 years. The company offers access globally to a comprehensive product line that includes forex, stock indices, individual equities, stock sectors, commodities, cryptocurrencies, bonds, and interest rates on a variety of professional-grade web-based and mobile trading platforms.
IG is the largest CFD dealer (based on trading revenue) with the largest number of active financial spread betting accounts in the UK. As noted, the company just began serving U.S. clients once again, in February 2019 (IG had operations in the U.S. previously before leaving). Its size allows it to offer some of the lowest spreads and commissions in the industry. IG Group is a FTSE 250 company with more than 185,000 clients worldwide.
No minimum account size.
Regulated by the CFTC, IIROC, FCA, ASIC, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Trade with a traditional broker-spread or the typically less expensive raw spread plus commission model.
Research and news resources are only available by launching external web pages or applications.
Educational offerings are fragmented and disorganized.
Customer service representatives are knowledgeable but slow to respond. Hold times were unusually long.
CMC Markets.
Account Minimum : $0 Fees : 0.7 pip minimum for forex, $10 stock trades Best for : New and low-skilled traders.
CMC Markets offers competitive spreads that widen with larger trade and bet sizes. Dedicated sites for professionals and institutions highlight their commitment to higher skill and commitment levels, but it would be nice to see higher level perks, including rebates and the free API interface, offered to retail accounts. Even so, all account holders gain access to guaranteed stop losses, free bank wire withdrawals and other advanced features, lifting the broker into the top tier in several review categories.
Huge product catalog.
Sophisticated order types.
High US index CFD spreads.
Limited security features.
No copy/social trading platform.

OANDA.
Account Minimum: $0 Fees: EUR/USD 1.3 pips, USD/JPY 1.1 pips Best For: Seasoned traders looking for a stellar desktop trading experience.
OANDA is one of the earliest pioneers of the retail forex industry. Having roots in academia, the company built its reputation, product offerings, technology, and customer base to the point now that it's one of only two forex-only brokers in the U.S., and also serves customers throughout the U.K., Singapore, Canada, and Australia. Since the company's inception back in the 1990s, OANDA has been at the forefront of retail forex, offering the latest trading technology and services to a global customer base.
Key points about OANDA include the fact that it has a $0 minimum for live accounts, which is not too common for any type of broker, including forex-specific brokers. Also, the company is well known for its quality of trade execution and transparency when it comes to pricing and fees. Finally, OANDA has long focused on its trading technology, which includes its proprietary web-based and desktop platforms, as well as mobile and MetaTrader 4 options.
Accounts can be opened for as little as one dollar.
Regulated by the CFTC, IIROC, FCA, ASIC, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Offers both a traditional broker spread and the typically less expensive raw spread plus commission model.
Research and news resources are scattered.
Education and webinars were fragmented and disorganized.

XTB provides access to a variety of markets such as forex, shares, indices, metals, commodities and even cryptocurrencies. The company is regulated in the UK and registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
XTB's spreads, trading costs, and account fees were about average for the industry overall; however, forex spreads were consistently better than average. A custom trading platform, xStation 5, and MetaTrader 4 were available for the desktop along with mobile applications.

forex.com.
Account Minimum : $50 Fees : Average EURUSD spread is 1.3 Best For : The very active forex trader.
forex.com, the primary brand of publicly-traded GAIN Capital (NYSE: GCAP), is also one of the first forex-specific brokers on the scene. Within the past several years, the company has acquired several businesses, some in the U.K. This includes the well-established CFD, forex, and spread-betting company, City Index. Because of this and other acquisitions, GAIN Capital has been able to acquire customers from across the globe and is an industry leader in most markets. This includes the U.S., where it currently edges out its primary competitor, OANDA, in terms of customers assets.
forex.com has been busy at work in the past few years upgrading and revamping its trading platforms and related systems. As a result, the company's technology, both for forex.com and City Index, are one of its primary strengths. Additionally, GAIN Capital employs a global team of market analysts that provide clients with useful and constantly updated market insights. Besides the usual forex and CFD markets (outside of the U.S.), forex.com also offers bitcoin for trading.
Access to forex, shares, bonds, indices, cryptocurrency, and commodity CFDs.

Methodology.
Investopedia is dedicated to providing investors with unbiased, comprehensive reviews and ratings of online brokers. Our reviews are the result of six months of evaluating all aspects of an online broker's platform, including the user experience, the quality of trade executions, the products available on their platforms, costs and fees, security, the mobile experience and customer service. We established a rating scale based on our criteria, collecting over 3,000 data points that we weighed into our star scoring system.
In addition, every broker we surveyed was required to fill out a 320-point survey about all aspects of their platform that we used in our testing. Many of the online brokers we evaluated provided us with in-person demonstrations of their platforms at our offices.
Our team of industry experts, led by Theresa W. Carey, conducted our reviews and developed this best-in-industry methodology for ranking online investing platforms for users at all levels. Click here to read our full methodology.
