What Are Forex Brokers?
After seeing which are the best current forex brokers, let’s take a step back and further detail what Forex brokers are.
In general technical language, brokers are specialized operators that operate in financial markets.
Forex brokers specialize in the currency market, or the Forex.
When it comes to online brokers, generally speaking, Forex brokers are companies that specialize in providing CFDs on the Forex, or financial instruments that follow the trend of currency pairs and that allow you to trade up or down on their exchange rate.
To sum it all up, a Forex brokers offer CFDs (or in some cases other types of financial instruments, such as binary options) which follow the trend of currency pairs. For example, a CFD that follows the Euro/Dollar exchange rate allows you to trade up or down on its market trend.
Forex brokers usually offer the option of trading on all major currency pairs, in addition to secondary ones and also on cryptocurrencies (although these are not to be considered part of the Forex).
For those who are not very experienced in trading, we recommend reading our online trading article, 5 steps to get started right away and properly.
Microlot Forex brokers
One aspect of great interest to those looking for a Forex broker is microlot. “Lot” means a minimum amount of currency on which to trade. The option of negotiating on microlots, therefore, consists in the option of negotiating on small fractions of the lots, thus using much smaller amounts of capital.
For example, consider the option of trading on the euro dollar exchange rate. A broker that offers the option of trading on microlots allows you to negotiate on fractions of single lots, thus offering the option of operating with a very small amount of capital.
Australian Forex Brokers
In recent months, searches for information regarding Australian Forex brokers, or broker companies based in Australia, have multiplied. Why is this?
Apparently, ESMA regulations have significantly lowered the amount of leverage for retail customers (i.e. a sort of “base customers”), to a maximum of 1:30, thus causing growing interest in non-ESMA brokers, i.e. not subject to European regulations.
Before proceeding, however, we’d like to remind you that you can still operate without leverage limits in Italy, by asking your broker to open a “professional account”. Obviously, you’ll need to be more prepared than a basic user and know all the principles that govern CFD operations, as well as financial markets. If you have a clear idea of how CFDs work and you also know how financial markets work (causes of price changes, etc.), you can ask your broker for information on a professional account.
Now, back to Australian forex brokers who are gaining popularity mainly due to the fact that they allow you to operate with deactivated financial products within the EU (binary options), but also with high financial levers (which we have seen can also be accessed in Italy by switching to a professional account).
Best Forex broker forum
Forums are still among the best sources for information and in-depth analysis on specific topics. When you want to ask something specific about a certain topic, perhaps a niche one, forums are always very useful.
For this very reason, Forex forums are also important, as they connect traders with each other, and can share their experiences and even details on their trading.
In fact, on all forums there are many topics dedicated to single instruments, to single currency pairs, which are discussed daily. For example, on Forex forums you’ll find topics regarding the EUR/USD with users’ daily comments, which generally also include technical “upstream” analysis.
Forex forums are made up of people and therefore, as you know, people tend to agree or disagree. Our advice is to treasure predictions opposed to yours, basing comparison on technical and fundamental analysis, with pure “scientific” spirit (even if it is not really science) and with a constructive outlook.
On Forex Forums you can make good friends, because every day those who negotiate are ready to share their trades and opinions with others. The beauty is that you can also get great trading tips without affecting the results or profits of others. In short, in Forex trading that unpleasant aspect of “if I reveal something to you then you earn and I don’t” doesn’t exist. In short, in Forex forums there is room for everyone to profit. The important thing is to choose your reference experts well.
MT4 Brokers
We’ve already mentioned that some brokers offer the option of operating with different trading platforms. In fact, in addition to the “classic” platform offered to all types of clients and traders, some brokers offer their most demanding customers the choice of trading with MetaTrader 4, often abbreviated as MT4 mode.
MT4 brokers operating and legal include 24option. 24option allows you to trade with MetaTrader (MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5).
MetaTrader 4 is however a much more difficult platform to use than the webtraders offered “by default”, since it has many more technical features that are much more appreciable (and more easily usable) for those who already have some experience in trading and using tools for technical analysis.
