Recommended FOREX Brokers

When choosing a FOREX Broker, it's important to choose a government regulated broker who must meet specific minimum financials with an extreme obligation to operate ethically. You should avoid non regulated brokers or those operating on a casino license, like most binary options brokers do. Your broker must also offer instant trade execution on the MT4 platform without requotes. From my experience, here are some good brokers you should consider...

FOREIGN BROKERS (outside the USA)...

Blueberry Markets is my favorite broker outside the USA. It is based in Sydney Australia and regulated by government agencies of either Australia or Vanuatu, depending on your country of residence. They allow hedging with up to 500:1 max leverage and they accept clients from all over the world except for residents of the USA and Japan (Canadian residents now accepted). However, they will accept citizens of the USA & Japan as long as you can provide proof of residence outside these 2 countries (a utility bill or bank statement). They accept residents from all other countries. As a US citizen myself, I was able to open an account with my US passport and proof of my address in Brazil, where I'm currently living. They can accept US credit cards and bank wires directly from a bank in the USA. As an American, they have been the easiest foreign broker to open an account with. Their "Standard" accounts (US$100 minimum deposit) have tight spreads (better than Oanda). Their "Professional" accounts (US$2000 minimum deposit) have spreads 1 pip smaller than their standard accounts but with a commission of $0.07 per 0.01 Lot.

HOW TO GET MY TRADING ROBOTS FOR FREE...

I like Blueberry Markets so much, I became an introducing broker for them and that allows me to give you my trading robots for FREE if you simply open an account through my referral link. It doesn't cost you anything extra. The rebates come out of the broker's pocket, not yours! You get the same spreads/commissions you would anyway.  Just deposit US$500 or more into your Blueberry Markets trading account and I will give you 1 FREE EA for each $500 balance so you can use your money for trading instead of paying for the robots. Just open your account through my referral link, make your deposit, then contact Don to tell me which robots you want. I only make a few cents per trade in rebates so it could take a very long time to replace the cost of the robots but I'm ok with that. It's really just a way for us both to win and leaves you with more funds to start trading with. The only catch is that your FREE MT4 Robots will only work on your account at Blueberry Markets but you'll never need to pay for one of my robots again! Here are the instructions again in a nutshell...

  1. CLICK HERE to open a live account at Blueberry Markets.
  2. After your account is approved, request an MT4 account from your account rep under IB# 14993.
  3. Deposit at least US$500 (or USD equivalent) into your MT4 account.
  4. CLICK HERE to choose your MT4 Forex Trading Robots from the list below.
  5. CLICK HERE and tell me (Don) which robots you want. I will confirm your account from my end.

The following robots are available for this offer..

Trend-Following Trading Robot
Consolidation Trading Robot
RENKO Bar Trading Robot
Money Management TRADE COPIER Robot

Therefore, you can get ANY of the robots above for FREE with a minimum deposit of US$500 at Blueberry Markets when you open your account through my REFERRAL LINK HERE. Please contact Don with any questions.

UK REGULATED BROKERS...

DARWINEX is a great UK forex broker with tight spreads. They are regulated in the UK so they also allow hedging but with much higher margin requirements (low maximum leverage) of 30:1. Compare this to Blueberry Markets, which offers up to 500:1 max leverage. While 30:1 max leverage is usually enough to trade most strategies without any problem, it may not be enough if you like to trade aggressively like I do when using my positive progression money management strategies.

US REGULATED BROKERS...

IG Markets has been an international broker with a great reputation for many years and in 2019, they opened a regulated branch in the USA. This is the broker I currently recommend for US residents.

OANDA: Prior to IG Markets entering the US market, I recommended Oanda but with their new "additional" trading restrictions, it has become more difficult to trade at Oanda than other US brokers. For example, they no longer allow 2 trades of equal lot size in the same direction on the same currency pair. Why? Who knows?? This is not a government enforced law. It is only Oanda's rule and it makes trading with my Multi-Entry EAs more difficult. This is in addition to the government enforced FIFO and non-hedging rules.

Oanda has locations around the world so they're not just a US broker. If you live outside the USA or Canada, then check to see if they service your country. I've been trading with Oanda since the year 2000. They have great financials, a great track record, an enormous number of clients, and never seem to stop-hunt. However, Oanda has larger spreads than most brokers these days but they fill MT4 trade orders instantly and never reject them with an "off market" reply (like some brokers do). Oanda fills EVERY order INSTANTLY, no requotes and no questions asked but I no longer recommend them for US residents due to their new and ridiculous trading restrictions, which may only be for US clients. I don't know if these trading restrictions are enforced at all non US branches.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO SET UP AN MT4 ACCOUNT AT OANDA:

Getting your MT4 account set up is a little tricky and I've had a few people get stuck on this process so I thought I would add this here...
 
When you log into the Oanda website, choose FX Trade.
Uncheck the box that says "Launch Trading Platform".
 
Then choose "Add Sub-Account".
Under "Account Type" choose: V20 Metatrader 4.
Give it a name like MT4-1 (you may add more accounts later).
Choose a base currency for your funds on deposit and choose 100:1 leverage or 50:1 if that's the highest available. Then click SAVE. Do not choose anything higher than 100:1. The maximum leverage available to you will vary from country to country.
 
It should then ask you to choose a password for your MT4. Once you have your MT4 login info, you need to download and install MT4. Click #3 on this page to download: https://www.oanda.com/forex-trading/platform/metatrader-platform
 
After download, SAVE the installation file on your desktop. If you will be trading from a VPS, copy and paste this installation file onto your VPS desktop. Double click this installation file to install MT4 on your device. If you will be installing more than one instance of MT4, you will need to change the name of the MT4 directory at this point. (See the instructions in the section below for installing multiple MT4s). After installation, use your MT4 login info (not your Oanda website login). The MT4 username will be your account number.
 
IMPORTANT: To enable hedging on your MT4 account (at non US brokers), you often must choose this option in your sub-account section. Hedging is required if you will be trading more than 1 robot on the same currency pair, like both GBP/JPY robots. However, this option is not available for US clients at any US broker. Therefore, US clients will need to open 2  MT4 sub-accounts and install 2 separate MT4 platforms to trade 2 different robots on the same currency pair. BOTH MT4 platforms will need to run simultaneously so make sure you have plenty of disk space and RAM.

HOW TO INSTALL MULTIPLE MT4s PLATFORMS

Follow these steps to install more than one instance of MT4 onto a PC or VPS, and DON'T SKIP ANYTHING!
 
The easiest way to get MT4 onto your VPS is to download the MT4 installation zip file onto your home computer. Then copy and paste the MT4 zip file onto the desktop of your VPS.
 
Double click it to start the first installation on your VPS. It will create a "MetaTrader" folder under the folder Program Files (x86). Close MT4 when it opens automatically and delete the 2 desktop icons it creates. Open the MetaTrader folder in Windows Explorer under c:\This PC\Local Disk\Program Files (x86) and change the name of the MetaTrader folder to something like OANDA-1 (or the name of your broker).
 
 
Then open the OANDA-1 folder, right-click over the Application file and choose "Create Shortcut".
 
 
Then Rename your new shortcut "OANDA-1" or "MT4-1"...
 
 
 
Double Click your newly renamed shortcut to open MT4 then copy and paste that shortcut onto your VPS Desktop. You can now open this MT4 from that shortcut on your VPS desktop.
 
 
Since you changed the MetaTrader directory name, you can now install another instance of MT4 without over-writing the previous installation. Repeat the steps above for each additional instance of MT4 but give each installation a unique name like OANDA-2, OANDA-3, etc.
 
To install the EAs, create a Roulette Trader folder on your VPS desktop. Then copy the EA files on your home computer and paste them into the Roulette Trader folder on your VPS. From there, you can copy the EA files into each separate installation of MT4. Open the Data Folder in each MT4 and you can paste the files in the appropriate folders of each one like an assembly line. In the MT4 Navigator that displays the Experts folder on the left side of MT4, right-click over "Experts" and choose "Refresh" so your newly installed EA files will appear.
 
 
After installation and EA setup is complete, close each MT4 and reopen them from your new desktop icons. This will save your current settings and make sure MT4 recognizes all of the new files.
