Forex Brokers - Do You Switch Brokers A Lot?

First things first.. In my experience the datas provided by the all the forex brokers are almost the same... Not much difference.... but its in the hands of the traders.. its the trader to use his experience of his past and take care so that he doesn't faces anymore losses...

On my first years in forex I switched 5-10 broker per years. The reason was that I always thought there could be a better service or a better performance of the trading platform and I looked for the perfect one. Eventually I realized the customer service, withdrawal methods etc were not less important... so I gave that the proper weight when I looked for a broker. Eventually I found my home at Alpari, in which I run my account today. However, I always curious about new brokers so I open micro accounts in different brokers and stay there for a while if they are OK. I currently have an account at sunbirdfx, which I opened 2 month ago and it is satisfying, but I am still checking it. In general, I think that each trader should have at least 2 accounts, but don't switch too many brokers… it will confuse you.

Yea, at times. As Enivid said, it's always interesting to see the disparity between demo and real accounts..once that happens, start running for the hills.
Actually, you can use it as a litmus test, to see if the broker has been tweaking the demo just so to land real accounts. But yes, I do change brokers - not often though but just enough to make me review all new brokers in the market periodically.

I don't switch them a lot, I have a main account with one broker but every now and then I try out a new one with very a small deposit just to test things out...
