FXBROKERSRANKING

The trading platform is what connects you to your FX broker. Every platform can offer different features, different views, indicators, charts, instruments for automation trading, alerts and so on... IG is offering competitive forex spreads, good swaps, but if you are interested in something more than forex, they can offer you a huge amount of shares and stocks. You can trade with spread betting accounts to improve your tax efficiency, use margin for trading shares, low currency conversion fees, and you will have direct market access to be able to see the market depth and all the order book info available... Depending on the importance of leverage for your strategy, check this too. According to the latest regulation in the European Union, there is an applied cap for the leverage for retail traders. There is a similar restriction in United States and Japan. If you search for higher leverage you should search between Australian brokers or some of the offshore brokers.
