The right forex broker can make a difference between profit and loss in forex trading. To choose the right forex broker, research the various options available to you so that you can pick the right one for you.

Many articles will list the factors that need to be looked into when choosing a forex broker. Among them the most important ones are association with a regulatory body, reliability, initial deposit amount, leverage provided, spreads available, minimum lot size, forex training, customer service, currency pairs offered and many more. But the characteristics of the forex trader are not the only ones that you need to look into when you are picking one for forex trading. In fact, the first thing that you need to think about is your own forex trading objectives, goals and style.

Choosing the Right Forex Broker for Yourself

Choosing the right forex broker requires you need to be aware of your specific needs as a forex trader. These depend on the various aspects that concern you. Therefore before you even start researching the internet for forex brokerage firms or start asking around about the forex brokerage firms with a good reputation, take a look at what your needs are and then make a choice.

  • If you are a new forex trader, you need to make sure that you choose someone who is reputed to have a good forex training course. There are some great online forex brokers that are known to have extremely comprehensive training programs. These programs include sessions with the forex trading platform that the company offers. These sessions ensure that you are ready to trade in the real world once you have finished the course. 
  • If you are an experienced forex trader you may want to check out a forex broker that can help you move up to the next level of trading. At this stage you may need to look for advanced analytic capabilities. Good quality forex signals and appropriate forex news is also something you may want to check out.
  • If you want to trade in currency only as a hobby or only to augment your regular income to some extent, you will not want to invest too much as the initial deposit. Pick a broker that does not insist on too much deposit.
  • For those looking for forex trading as a side income option, social trading forex brokers is another option. These options eliminate the need to study the market to a large extent. You can actually make great trades by following other forex traders that have made their mark in the industry.

To pick the right forex broker, look at your requirements and circumstances and then decide the kind of forex broker that you want to use.

    Girl Banker®

    I created my investment banking blog in 2012 as soon as I resigned from i-banking & published my book, To Become An Investment Banker.

    Initially published at girlbanker.com, all posts were later subsumed into my personal website under katsonga.com/GirlBanker.

    With 7 years of front office i-banking experience from Goldman Sachs and HSBC, in both classic IBD (corporate finance) and Derivatives (DCM / FICC), the aim of GirlBanker.com was to make it as straight-forward as possible to get into a top tier investment bank. 


    ​I'm also a CFA survivor having passed all three levels on the first attempt within 18 months - the shortest time possible.
