Trusted Brokers

Choosing a broker is nearly as important as choosing your strategy for trading? Are they regulated? What markets do they offer?

I have accounts and traded with all of the brokers listed below. All of them have regulated entities in Europe.

Depending on your location, if you decide to open an account with them, your account may be placed under a different location, or one of their unregulated entities.

I will list some of their advantages and disadvantages. If you require further assistance, don't hesitate to contact me, or the brokers.
