MasterForex existed on-line since 2006, but being very similar to other MT4 Forex brokers it has never received such traders’ community attention as their competitors (e.g. LiteForex or FXOpen). As its rivals MasterForex accepts WebMoney, e-gold and wire transfer for deposit/withdraw operations, trading from $1, MT4 platform, CFD trading and a flexible leverage. Unfortunately, like many other MetaTrader brokers it’s not registered with NFA, CFTC or FSA and resides offshore on the Seychelles. But for starting your way in Forex this is still a good broker, because of its trading conditions that are very easy for the newbie traders.

FXcast Forex broker now offers e-currency exchange services to its customers. They offer almost free exchange of e-gold to WebMoney or Liberty Reserve. This service is done with the low 2.7% commission which is fully compensated after the trader close a specific amount of positions This amount is determined as $10 of commission for every 1 full standard Forex lot. I think it is a good addition to a Forex broker that is focusing on e-currencies and many active traders will use it.

A new Forex broker with quite a long on-line history and good stand (since 2004) was added to the Forex brokers section of a site. FIBOGroup allows CFD and Forex trading via both Metatrader 4 and Metatrader 3 trading platforms. The minimum deposit is $300 and the leverage at which account are set up is 1:200. At FIBOGroup accounts are easily opened on-line, but they don’t allow e-gold deposits (closed this option due to the problems with e-gold) - but they may reopen this option in future.

Today I am introducing two new e-gold Forex brokers to you - MFN and Neuimex. Although they are both accepting e-gold e-currency for funding and cashing out, they are different brokers in many aspects. MFN offers its own trading platform and allows mini Forex accounts from $500 with a leverage up to 1:400, while Neuimex offers a platform based on Metatrader 4 with the minimum account size of $2,500 and no mini lots available. Both brokers allow CFD trading making them somewhat more attractive for stock market addicts (such as myself ;-)) that like to trade everything from a single account. And unlike Neuimex, MFN doesn’t allow U.S. citizens to open accounts (probably because of the managed accounts available).

Oh, God! Fifth Forex broker with ‘Markets’ in its name! And it doesn’t offer any other market for trading except Forex. They got to love this word to insert it the broker’s title. IFC Markets is good Forex broker if you want to start with a little money (deposits from just $1) and want to deposit it via e-gold or WebMoney. They offer their own trading software which has some professional features (like multicharting) but has nod custom indicators or expert advisors. Their site is quite informative – Forex market news, IFC Markets broker news, financial calendar – all in nine different languages.

Real Trade is an established Forex broker based in Latvia which offers international Forex trading services using a Metatrader Forex platform. Aside from that Real Trade clients can deposit and withdraw funds to and from their margin accounts using e-gold and WebMoney (along with a good old Wire Transfer). Overall, Real Trade is a reputable (but more popular with Russian-speaking traders) Forex broker with market presence since 2003.

Forex WebTrader is the name of retail Forex broker maintained by Finexo broker. It offers web based trading platform and e-gold deposit – making this broker a good choice for the new traders who want to try themselves at Forex without installing any complicated professional trading software. This broker looks even more attractive because of possibility of mobile trading with PDAs or mobile communicators. But for professional traders this might be insufficient – both in terms of the trading platform and the broker reputation (for which it is too new to have one).

Today I am introducing a new Forex broker that allows e-gold deposits (not only, also PayPal, Western Union, credit card and Wire Transfer) - Ava FX. It doesn’t support Metatrader platform but it provides traders with its own platform that is claimed to be very easy to use. Good thing about this broker is that it offers bonus on client’s deposits - $50 on $100 deposit, $100 on $,1000 and $200 on $10,000.

Another e-gold Forex broker with a low minimum account ($1) and e-gold deposit option added to Forex brokers list. FXcast - a quite new broker in the on-line market. It also supports Metatrader platform (for accounts starting from $100) and a very high margin leverage (up to 1:400). One of the major drawdowns for this broker is that it is completely unregulated. But still - good choice for the new Forex traders who store their funds in e-gold or WebMoney.
