Huh? What the heck does an "employment status" have to do with opening an account with a broker..I don't see why brokers would want to know if a trader is employed or not..

Account registration should be made easy. Some of the information as represented on your post seem irrelevant. You can open a forex account by just filling your name, email address and password. After that, you can make a deposit, download the Mt4 platform and start trading.

Well first choose your broker. Then it depends on your broker that what documents they ask you to open an account for you.

I suggest before opening a real account which is not difficult to do so , Open a demo account at first to try and navigate the platform to have a full idea how it works.

First you should chose a broker and read reviews about them. Then read thier conditions to open an account and after this you can open an account with them.

I have not yet understand about ECN broker and STP what makes difference on both type?

 

[MillerTrade]

I have exactly the same question as radex78.Can you explain us in details?

 

[Enivid]

STP stands for Straight Through Processing and means that the orders are executed without interference from the Dealing Desk.

ECN stands for Electronic Communication Network and means that the broker routes the orders that very network (of traders) and is not acting as a Market Maker.

This is a high priority, as well as ensuring that client funds are held in segregated trust accounts.
