What do you look for in a broker?

Hey guys,

I was wondering what you look for in a broker? What needs to be present for you to decide and trade with a broker?

Thanks for your thoughts on this topic.

Reliability is a big plus for me and then of course, competitive rates..

Do you care about leverage or bonuses/loyalty programs? Trust is key in my opinion, if you can't trust your broker why would you trade with them...

Leverage, yes, bonus not after Instant tea episode - Pilot, and yes, trust is a factor so if you are planning to go live with one or two brokers, would suggest you start small, preferably a micro account until you are sure the broker is reliable and trustworthy..

I am happy with my broker and we established a trust base. I have no plans to move, but it took me a while to find one I love to trade with.
