Thanks for the posts and all the material. I have a question, if you don't mind, about the server time at the brokerage. I use MBT and I'm quite impressed with the execution and most things in general. It's just that they seem to be tuned in to the timezone of the Island from LOST. My candles hardly ever look like yours. I can still trade them and get pretty good results. But in your opinion, does this put me out of sync with the trading fraternity? A lot of people out there react to the same 4HR price action, usually synchronized on GMT +0, and then there's me, the Lone Trader, hooking it on my ace. I'm assuming that the majority of traders are with the market makers, and a smaller group with the likes of MBT. So far there doesn't seem to be a problem, I get good trades. But do you have any thoughts on this? Thanks... Hi Nick.

Shout out too to MBT. Don't use them atm but I did way back in the day when online trading started and they were always really good. Didn't enjoy having to pay like $300 a month or whatever for nas L2 quotes but everyone charged back then :) Nice article Nick. Shout out too to MBT.

I am not entirely new to trading although I am new to Forex. I am now at the point where I am looking for a broker and after a few days looking at FPA reviews, I felt like I was getting nowhere (except for a few reviews like the ones for Dukascopy) and was getting more sob stories than the daily news would print in a gossip column. I am looking at Go Markets (thanks to the previous reviewer for your comments) and I will check out GFT today. Thanks again and perfect timing. Thank you, Nick, for a brilliant article.

I'm using GFT and yes, they couldn't be nicer and more patient - a big encouragement for newbies. Their Dealbook 360 is pretty clunky, however, which is a bit surprising for such a serious player. Their tech. support is top-notch. There are many other brokers with great reputations I will also try soon for alittle breadth of experience. Thanks for the sensible perspective.

Trading is a game whereby a winner must emerge and the other at disadvantage. But I wonder what they stand to gain from such retrogressive attitude. Accepting responsibility is pathway to improvement not in trading but in all live endeavor. Personally am always ready to assume responsibility for outcomes resulting from decisions I took. I do hope my peer newbies contribute to reviews rationally. Thanks. Sir Nick,

As a matter of fact, the one thing that is also true, that wasn't mentioned is that most of these reviews are done by folk who lose money. Rarely do the rest of us, who are actually successful, give reviews on these sites. Those are having GREAT experiences with these Brokers, just keep trading; while those who had bad experiences, want the world to know. My advice, start with a Broker with a very small account. Trade with them for a while and test them and see how you like 'em. If they prove to work for you keep 'em, if not, go somewhere else. I completely agree with Nick.

I love the Trading Station II platform with Marketscope. I've never liked the clunky interface with MT4, even though it is so customizable and you can use it with FXCM. What, no love for FXCM?
