I found Forex.com pretty well regulated by the authorities via FCM and NFA affiliation. These days, those are vital things to be looking out for, when solid companies elsewhere in the financial markets are falling by the wayside.
I tried the demo and it is pretty impressive with great real time forex charts. Their platform is called the forextrader. They have a way of giving a guided tour of the trading platform, which was very informative. But I was allowed to use the demo only for 30 days. 37 currency pairs can be traded at forex.com, and it is the spreads which are great, never exceeding 1-2 pips for all the majors. They have this unique concept of fractional pips by which you can take advantage of minute price movements. But I don’t know how this actually works. Interestingly you also have the option of working on a fixed spread basis. That apart the platform shows great speed, flexibility, and maximum convenience.
I was told standard accounts would give a leverage of 100:1, and mini account up to 200:1. The mini I think can be opened for as little as $250 and the regular for $2500. I think that their interactive support gives extra value for their platform which comes as four types, namely the forex trade java, the forex trader, the forex trader web, and the forex trader wireless. The last one of course, you could use it with your Blackberry.

Check it up before u use this, rather get a good feel of the platform before you commit. I am still in demo range.

Gain got hit by fines from financial authorities months back—so you dont get to see them much in ads.Sometimes technicals arent good.Charting is pure junky.

Getting an off-quote error is pretty common with them. Sure you can call them up but by then the opportunity is lost

Hello,

Gain Capital seems to be a predominant force in the markets,but at times their platform crashes,especially under vista. They seem to have good phone support however.A good company to deal with if you are a prudent investor.
