Broker help for Newbie

[fergal1]

Hi all
First time doing this so I apologise in advance for any lack of etiquette .
I recently purchased the Bill Poulos Instant Pips product. It stipulates trading the close of the New York session at 5pm EST. As I am based in Ireland I would like to find a broker who trades this close. Two brokers were suggested FXCM and Thinkorswim. Regarding FXCM I read some bad things about it and am not keen to trade with them. Regarding thinkorswim it is not very user friendly especially for me who has mostly MT4 experience. Can anyone suggest an alternative Forex broker that use the close of the New York trading session which is 5:00pm EDT as the close of their daily bars????? Thanks a million!!!

Hi fegal1,

Welcome to the Forex Peace Army Forums! I’m FXCM’s Online Ambassador to the FPA community.

I know that choosing a forex broker can be a daunting task, and there’s a lot to consider including safety of funds, regulation, execution model, ease of use, spreads, customer service, etc. Yes, there is a lot of feedback about FXCM on the forums, some good and some bad. Our goal is to make sure every trader has a positive experience trading at FXCM, and I believe the number of traders that trade with FXCM compared to our competitors is a vote of confidence for what they think about FXCM and our services.

I would be happy to answer any questions you have about FXCM or address concerns, and I will provide a more detailed post about FXCM and our services on our FXCM thread located here https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/forex-forum/forex-brokers/1125-fxcm-com-11.html.
