Hi,
Forex is a zero-sum game—thats the feeling I get with easy-forex.Spread is too wide and you got to pay roll over—-and I am sort of wary of price freeze options.
Hi,
Of course you get guaranteed stops in all situations. Yeah, too good to be true!
Spread is too wide and right after news release they disable trade–and maybe for long term trade ok but for day stuff doesnt suit.
Sweet thing is they dont charge for withdrawals but trade disabled/try later stuff is scary;wonder why alexa guys rank them soo high.
Alexa got to do more with site technicals and not what the content says. So easy to figure out what alexa means–not the fx trading part for sure.
I have been with easy-forex for quite a while. No problems at all. They are very receptive to email requests for more info or for clearing doubts. In fact they get back to you on the telephone and explain whatever it is you want to know.
Easy-forex doesn’t require that you submit any ID, or proof of address and utility bill and so on before you deposit your money. All that is needed only if you want to deposit a big amount.You can choose any account type, mini, gold and platinum and then upgrade if you wish to.Very flexible and user friendly. That’s what I like about easy forex.
I am usually wary of companies that don’t have much of regulatory approvals. Easy forex has regulatory controls, plus the Versign seal of approval, so you have a comfort level in working with this broker. That apart, credit card backing with Barclays and data sources from Reuters, make it very nice to deal with. What I always look in any broker is the quality of the streaming data, and in the case of easy forex it’s tops.
Great platform, variable spreads in the 2 pips range, and choice of leverage from 50:1 to 200:1 make it suitable for all kinds of trading in not only forex, but in products like gold, silver and oil. I tried the demo, and since the platform was web based it didn’t need any downloading and installation. Giving you the latest and most accurate currency prices is their speciality, and I really liked their great customer support. Although I was doing just demo trading, they did call me up a couple of times to explain some things, as for instance when they had made some changes to their trading platform.
In the Trade Controller they give you a visual trading tool, and you can use it for understanding profit and loss possibilities. Another tool is the inside viewer which tells you which currency pair was traded the most at that point in time and whether it was the sell or buy trades that were popular. I guess these intuitive tools are very useful to have around.
