Hello, and a small introduction...

Hello all,

I am just saying hello, and had one question for you.

I am transitioning from day-stocks to day-currencies. I have been trading a demo account with FXCM for 7 months or so, and am ready to go live, but didn't like what I read in the reviews section. Any input for me?

I appreciate any advice, comments, or notes.

Thanks again, and I look forward to the forum.

Bear.

No responses? That is discouraging...

You need to learn to YELL LOUDER!

Most broker reviews are very mixed. A lot of people tend to rate brokers based on how profitable trading is, not how well the broker executes the trades.

My suggestion with any broker you really want to try is to open an account with the minimum amount of money and test them out. Make a few trades. Withdraw a little bit of cash. See how it goes. If everything is ok, then add more money to the account. If anything seems wrong and isn't quickly fixed when you contact support, take your money and run as fast as you can.

Thank you much for your response. I will open a small account and see how it goes. Take care.
