When I first got into Forex, I started out with a broker who uses a web based trading platform which I found out to be unreliable. I later struggled with two other brokers/platforms until someone recommended Marketiva. The first time I used their system, I was so impressed by the serious difference in performance between them and the others which I had already tried. Indeed the difference was so striking that I wondered where they had been all this while.
As it turns out, I have been using Marketiva since December 2006 and so far their performance has been highly commendable and I have not found any reason to complain. The support is great, their commissions reasonable and spread is OK, their trade execution time is very good and they also allow for traders to trade with as little as $1 where other brokers generally would only accept a minimum balance of $250 upwards. They also make it very very easy for international traders who do not have access to US/European credit cards or bank accounts to deposit and withdraw money from their trading accounts.
My recommendation
Marketiva rates as one of the best international-user-friendly Forex brokers around. Their Streamster trading platform is undoubtedly the best that I have used. I therefore strongly recommend them especially for international forex traders (i.e. Forex traders that live outside the US).
