Hi Freeman:

I trade FX online all the time.

The online broker you mention I have not come across but it means nothing and I am not implying that the broker is bad probably they are very good.

However one thing that we all must bear in mind is that when it comes to opening a real account with real money - we must ensure that the online broker whether FX or stocks/shares is a properly regulated broker and must be regulated either by CFTC in the US or FSA in the UK - I would prefer that the broker is regulated by both the regulators.

This will ensure that in case you have a complaint against the broker than you would be able to make a complaint with either of these two regulators. This would also ensure that your money is safe.

Please remember that even in Europe there are some unscrupulous outfits and your money can be at risk. This mainly applies to European countries that are still not part of EU or some outfits that operate out of EU countries but are not regulated and are actively seeking clients from countries that are either out of EU or still better other non-European countries - which falls beyond the scope of the regulators or local laws.

Some online brokers will offer incentives to open accounts but the first real online trade you make they will "rip" you apart on bid/offer spreads!!

Be warned!

Regards

I am based abroad therefore I am not sure about the formalities about trading FX in India but if Refco operates in India then I am sure they will give you all the info.

Sorry.

Dear dufferdev

To trade forex in India either contact Refco-sify or directly contact www.fxcm.com which is one of the best online firms with NFA registration in US.

The minimum amount to open an account differs from brokers to brokers. For fxcm.com it is $300 but its better to have $1000 as starting capital.

For charting service www.netdania.com or www.interbankfx.com
