I am new to Forex trading but I have several years of stock trading. For the last few months I have been trading demo accounts and I want to open a live account. However, I have read many reviews describing substandard broker activities that seem worse the market makers.

With varying opinions about different brokers, it is not always clear which traders are complaining caused they lost money due their own poor trading practices and which brokers are actually as bad as the reviews claim.

My trading style for Forex is technical with strong chart support during my trades. I will trade as a daytrader only in the PM EST. Some brokers offer good trading platforms, however when I investigate and read reviews, I am reluctant to sent $10K for a mini account.

Any advise or broker recommendations to start a small $10K account?

Thanks,

Personally I like fxcm.com; there's many out there to choose from... I can't provide advice nor reco's per sec/nfa regs though ... that's who I like.

Thanks Ken. I have been using demo accounts with FXCM and FX Solutions.

Thanks - I've tried, and like FXCM.com, haven't tried others yet. I personally only want to try the "biggest and best known" vs the endless parade of fx bucket shops out there (and people who would try to reco them). Comparing spread size, fill speed and the rest is important, eg pip slippage and the rest of it.
