s your forex dealer treating you fairly?
Simply trading with the dealer that has the consistently highest ratio of profitable accounts is no guarantee that you will be profitable, too. But as an investor, you owe it to yourself to do your research and make sure your dealer is acting in your best interests.For example:
- Does your dealer publish true spreads? (Many advertise a “limited-time offer” that is not available when you trade.)
- Does your dealer calculate and pay interest fairly? (Most still engage in an end-of-day calculation.)
- Does your dealer promise no extra fees above and beyond the spread? (Most apply various fees to your account—to pay middlemen, or to punish you if your trading volume falls below a certain minimum.)
- Does your dealer offer the same price for any trade size? (Most dealers “ladder” prices to reserve the best rates for their largest orders.)
Maybe it's time for a change.
