Recommended Online Forex Brokers
The forex brokers who make our
Recommended Forex Brokers List
are those brokers that missed out on making our
Best Forex Brokers List
by not meeting just one of the criteria or those forex brokers who received a
rating of 6.0 or above in our independent trader ratings. The only other
requirements for making this list is that they must have an independent trader
rating of at least 5.00 and must have provided us with most of the information
presented in our broker snapshots below.
There are 21 online forex brokers on this list. Including those forex brokers who
are on our
Best Forex Brokers List
there are a total of 29 recommended forex brokers on this site. That is approximately on
7% of the total number of approximately 425 online forex brokers identified on
this site, certainly a select group.
While the forex brokers on our
Recommended Forex Brokers List
may have a flaw here or there, they are minor in comparison to the majority of forex brokers out there
on the Internet. No matter what your trading style, you should be able to find a broker on this list
that will meet your needs.
(The number in parenthesis behind the broker name is their independent trader rating)
