Selecting a good broker.....

[Jacktaylor]

For those who are looking for offshore, finding a good broker is not at all an easy task. You will need to thoroughly research and test them with a small live account before you can conclude that you've found your broker. During my time, I mostly checked on reviews and forums to know about a broker. That was the started point and you might want to check the thread "Going offshore to escape CFTC – Broker Discussion" in babypips, really helpful to those looking for trusted offshore brokers. Personally, I'm trading with Coinexx and FXChoice. Both are doing fair so far. They offer both MT4 and MT5. Spreads and commissions are sharper on Coinexx if that helps. But always DYOR.

Totally agree with you here. Even I religiously follow Babypips CFTC forum to get updates on different unregulated brokers. And after doing thorough research. I narrowed it down to three brokers, Coinexx, FX Choice, and Turnkey Forex. Lately, I have been facing some issues with FXChoice but Coinexx and Turnkey Forex are still going strong. They offer everything a trader looks for: high leverage, low commission, excellent execution, fast withdrawals. But if I have to choose between the two, I think I will choose Turnkey Forex over Coinexx.

Selecting a good broker comes down to evaluating a broker on various factors, demoing them and finally deciding the one that fits your style. This is quite crucial to trading so any rush up at this stage might lead you to failures/disappointments. So take good time to see what's the best. For me,fxview works great. Its regulated and offers narrow spreads + low commissions which is like most suitable for me.

I never trade with traders that are not regulated by strong regulators

What is the best method to select a good regulated broker with reliable trading conditions that is not a scammer or manipulator?

The best method is to go with an old and reputable company that has many recommendations from real traders.
