Broker's previous record means what traders think about brokers who have been used their services.

1. im just new to this business but i think good real brokers usually require high minimum depositing

2. i agree with that

3. instant execution of orders is too important to me, im upset with some brokers for the slow executions and the requotes

4. i also read that good brokers dont offer educational courses

5. i dont care much for the leverage

Hi Humie,
Sometime traders maybe meet this kind of situation. They don’t like their forex broker now, want to choose another one. But after last chance, they don’t believe in any posts or reviews on the internet. These principles for choosing forex broker are needed for every trader. Also, after you have these principles for choosing forex brokers, you can go to other sites for forex broker to check their details and reviews.

About the demo trading account, there are many forex brokers provide this. You can find one to test their trading servers. One advice about demo account, I think you should find a broker in which the condition of demo account is the same with the condition of real account, this including the speed of execution and no requotes. Beside this, I think the micro account is better than demo account for forex beginners. Because the experience on micro account is real trading experience when comparing with trading on demo account.

Yup! I have progressed beyond the demos to live accounts and as far as my experience goes, not all the demos operate the same way the live accounts do..
Hard to believe at first but all true. So for any newbie out there, you may wan to set up a few demo accs, try it out and when you move on to a micro or a mini lot, make sure that the real account works the same way, speed, accuracy, no slippage etc.
